                  c l o s e d...

                  the difficulty in knowing precisely

                  what it is you see

                  keeping faith

                  traversed by silence

                  and the absent

                  history's last known address

                                                                         the small universe of things

                          showing no allegiance to the moment
                                     the apprehension of objects
                                     dissolving the visible

                     recapturing the incompleteness
                                     strangeness
                                     and de facto truths
                                     the judgement of reflection
                                     changing appearances
                                     losing sight of its beginnings
                                     the careful observer
                                     restoring imagination
                                     the sediment of what is
                                                                                                           given spontaneous 
                                                                                                                quiet

                  being what it could not see
                  history and forgetfullness cradles things
                  a bridge
                  the resentment of language
                  distorting
                  fixing
                  being what it could not see
                  self
                  other thing

                                                                         of the everyday

                                                                         perception hiding from itself

                                                                         appropriation of reflections gaze

                                                                         the lived through

                                                                         anchored

                                                                         the horizon provides identity

                                                                          making no demands

                                                                          asking only for description

                                                                         illuminated                                                                   

                                                                         senses

                                                                         identifies

                                                                         unfolds

                                                                         discloses

                                                                          returning to absence
