Not so much a place as an inventory
Always needing a dip into at least two durations at once
Always needing edges of other movements to take shape
Not because it can only be at the edge but because it can only move with
Better yet, there’s this strange combination of not having a beginning or end
but still being only made out of beginnings and endings
Not as in it started and it ended
But a constant slipping out of the fingers as soon as there’s a sense of taking shape
A getting ready to leave while coming home
A sticking the toes to feel the water
And a dipping of the toe after to feel the swim
An only wearing of a t-shirt and socks
Not like I started an outfit and I ended one
But more like that the pants are simply missing
Not so much a thing to make proliferations on the qualities
Taking infinitely to work on because a resisting as soon as there’s a saying of now let’s working on, or as soon as there’s a saying of now let’s place where happening
Any time too much the one moment or place it is happening in,
a losing of conditions
Being too late for the moving while being too soon
Took a suspension to move with
Took an ocean in between to feel
Took at least two timezones to move in
Not like one foot in one place and one in the other
A both being a non-being there
A drawing with spills before drying up
The making wet – already working with what will dry up
but only being what it will be dried up because working with it when it was wet
A stone next to the sink to catch the drops of water
A green stone always in the sink because it needs the water to be green
A stone next to the sink waiting to turn green
A stone moved to the sink waiting and watering to be green
It carries into the moment more than one shape
An imploding explosion
An exploding implosion
An absorbing reflection
A reflecting absorption
An absorbing reflection reflecting absorption of the spills
An indiscernible movement of a stone but moving nonetheless
The precision of a moving
A trembling consistency
A waiting but for nothing
The precision of a walk that didn’t happen
To delay and intensify at once
In excess of its repeatability
