Behind a small eye
of a small world, there is a place for things that have disappeared.
A buildingless room visited by those who cannot stop searching for the
right day, misplaced keys, drops of music, tails of footage. Who
look across desks and wait to unpry. In the science of pursuit
strangeness happens.

I am asleep and
maybe I am dreaming. Maybe all of the incidents, all of the seconds
of the day have been recorded somehow by traces of oxygen and blood
cells circulating within my body. And as I lay feet level to head,
eyes closed, at rest, fragments are being gathered. Tectonic plates
pushing flashes of gestures, eruptions of scenarios are taking place
in another realm of living. Walking without walking. Seeing without
touching. Assemblies of memories unable to happen.
