A list of some observation

A list of some observation.

In a corner, it's warm.        A glance leaves an imprint on anything it's dwelt on.        Water is glass's most public form.        Man is more frightening than its skeleton.        A nowhere winter evening with wine.

A black        porch resists an osier's stiff assaults.        Fixed on an elbow, the body bulks        like a glacier's debris, a moraine of sorts.        A millennium hence, they'll no doubt expose        a fossil bivalve propped behind this gauze        cloth, with the print of lips under the print of fringe,        mumbling "Good night" to a window hinge.1983, translated by the author.
