Between a thermometer and when water freezes

August 22, 2009

A chill intervened / titles of negation / and / altered

bleak underlined / standard colors

Their distress / slides / out of register

echo flails, falls down / her guise in / broken

refractions / grey glued neutrality

under pressure / smearing / thinned-out, stained

scraped residue / troubled a telling / example

stamped, dripped / her / accusatory physical sting

another piece of frozen, erotic / content

There were increas ing / instances of him

mirror / an insideout fold / Their surfaces rolled

     around each other

The implied space in his thinking

Where did she put / her / narrative assemblages?

His sections appeared hinged / by diagrammatic

     constructions

Marcel Duchamp: / an engineer of notes, indices
