about

smlsnds

somber reflection,
melancholy (of being)
uncertain knowledge
curious artifact
curiosity created the catch
micro-inventions found in touch
removing - a sense of time
findings – the time removals
the passages and pivoting bridges
the chain reaction of circular pivoting
circular causal exchanges
what words would you use?
what small worlds are you watching?
sometimes falling to silence
a certain set of micro-jumps
a certain set of micro-positionings
a certain set of relations
the negotiation of simple relations
inbetween micro-sets
It finds itself in its own making...
this moment cannot be contained
a sense of fear
letters become numbers
the exchange of codes
the removal
thinning out
tossing and turning
a simple lack of sleep
a variety of wind
synthetic airborne
smlsnd of its own making
wandering with a kind of purpose
on finding the slender configuration (torso)
a shifting field of reflections
the shifting field (hands)
the shifting field
Tarkovsky’s field
Tarkovsky’s winds
winding up, wounded
the repetitious endings
a pattern of endings
the quietest sense of touch
the key to a particular small picture
patterns of thoughts
the waters of Tarkovsky
wondering about wandering / wandering about wondering [could be beginning and end?]
beginning of the end
a final ending in slow motion
a pattern of puzzled looks
