Deborah Kohloss

Flat Description

I love you has been said before by somebody else. Someone else could be me or it could be someone else. I can speak in my own language without having my own voice. The human animal recognizes her cry as her own and not her. This is community. How rooms are occupied and what is left afterwards is a proper subject for the imagination. No one will ever know, first hand, if the scent spread by the lovers remains in the room after they have walked away. Guessing is easy but not knowing. We can't be where we aren't. My thoughts of you do not produce you. I think they do. How much of my own voice is my own imagination. How much do I want to love you. How much do I.

The Will of Andre Breton

When books are trapped in the snow they could be camelias or bald headed men collected predicaments magnificent translations a shape something to remember and relearn

When music is siphoned through a weather vane water will freeze on the strings of the violin The ice age will sound silently A time will come when the books fly open everyone will know mysticism is simply an extension of sensuality The man who never left devoured harmony after harmony hiccups rose like pearls from his oyster belly When everyone understands what everyone else is saying that is not everyone understanding everyone else but everyone understanding
