LYRICS
"Its colored grains form dunes obeying the
Winds that blow into the scene from outside."
(Inasmuch as a lens is a shapened
Facilitator formed for optical
Laws to converge within the various
Given material and temporal
And kinetic and spatial conditions,
And fluctuating luminosities,
Built to exhaust the permutations of
Ocular physics (in and against time.))
"Fates decided not through choice but with the
Oscillating tendencies of those winds."
(Inasmuch as an image is a form
Built with light which can concretize a view
Made visible by and within these laws
And structured within the logics of the
Given material and temporal
And kinetic and spatial conventions
Within which organisms must function
(Within which we decompose in time.))
"Plucked from the multitude, a grain of sand
Thrown in an eye can cause its removal."
(Inasmuch as an image, formed as such
And physicalized, is like a body:
Traceable ("I can feel you here with me");
Desirable ("I want your skin with mine");
Governable ("A touch not permitted");
Mutable ("Gouging eyes, severing tongues");
Disappearable ("Body no longer");
Untraceable ("Memories are formless".))
"Sucked from the multitude, a grain of sand
Ingested by mollusk grows to a stone."
(Inasmuch as a representation
Is as improbable and tenuous
As the world and the lives it represents
While being for them prisms for meaning:
Formed without images I form them (for
A past that is unable to see them,
A future that does not yet want them, and
A present that does not know what they are.))
