'the less we know the more we name' Gaston Bachelard

1.atlas:death of a salesman

poetic utterances of the urban space

resist the notion that

something must first exist within a certain order

before that something can be identified

the poetic image maintains

a distance

between order and the need to name things

finding within the marginal 

realms of disorder

things half thought

things half seen

but always fully felt

the grafting details of palimpsest traces

within the inner urban space

Brunswick Street

The Valley

its material thinking

embracing elements of each myopic moment

the passage of intuitions 

that hold sway over image and sense

recognising the moments we gather

silent things within us

inscriptions and surface drawings

ground in liquid bitumen

reconciling with its source

a mirror play between sense and vision

the model of the poetic response

as Valery observed 

in the dance that goes nowhere.
