one thought on how they will relate to each other: my belief is that will be emergent, like you said, through some more conversation and also by thinking about them in space with each other...
a brainstorm
focus differential
layers and layers of loss
and whatever its opposite might be
liminal
not-quite-the-one
not-quite-the-other
perception you say?
the way antlers might be the windswept skeleton of brush
there is injustice here...
two excerpts from "fontanelles" by anne michaels (i just happened to be reading it for the first time this morning):
The chemistry of looking;
to look until the river
swallows us, until the redness
of the stone fills our veins.
To look until we're
seen. But this is only longing.
We leave our heat shadows
in moss shocked with frost.
Even your camera
sees more; the detail you crave.
We strain to see even
what the camera sees,
what the eye can't; and this is as good
as a philosophy. An embrace
of failure, as if
just once, impossibly,
we'll catch the visible reflection
of what's invisible.
...
The sea, folded paper;
rain filling each cerase.
A twist of bright salt,
a twist of foam.
Phosphene.
Dark with hope.
