inner lines, the negative spaces,
define.
sculpture,
where the counterpunch preexists the punch,
reversal.
sinking and rising, back and forth,
big strong calmness, rustling silence,
the space between is where the feeling is
in a quiet dream.
once every letter, number, punctuation
started as a sculpture,
raised fonts screamed
contrast,
day or night comes the mare.
the silent child (cherub) looms large,
large enough to lock arms
with all four Davids
lifted from the mural.
more powerful than they appear,
at the feet mercurial,
dancing on vanquished giants,
the large statues (davids), resemble the child,
who is completely silent, because asleep and dreaming.
dizzying daymare
cast in marble, cast in bronze,
contrapposto!
all the words were asleep, until we dreamed them.
wakeup! wakeup!
