Night vision
Europe, Paris, October 2016
from the collection “Samples” (2016)
Cars speeding down the intersection
splash gold in the headlights,
every time,
glowing droplets against the dark falling too slowly to the ground.
Oberkampf
Oberkampf, Paris, September 2016
from the collection “Samples” (2016)
Dans l’élégante lueur froide
d’une nuit de pluie,
les pavés de rues faufilantes
devenus marbre
reflètent le discours des néons
aux marcheurs couverts et asservis.
Script #1
from the collection « Script » (2014)
A hum in the red sky
terrible sights of deathless tract homes
detached people quiet
around their long dining table
front yards at day
St-Augustine lawn
shivers in silent
madness
he opens the trunk and puts in the bags
curtains stir where
rifts form
always a plot
and a parallel romance
he runs to the cities
he has bigger visions.
