sound incorporates and sight isolates
here's to an art that for the moment we will pretend it neither to be struggling on the bottom of the ocean nor on the surface, but a wave that's coming, ever rolling in to play its part.
sound encounter for the day:
the metal of a quoin as it grinds open in its extension to push against and then compress a tower or crossbow of wood against and into lines of lead type until it all begins to creak or squeak.
sound bearing?
a feeling. a feeling of lead softening wood or wood softening lead. the idea is virtual, yes. but, you can now feel a tenderization of language, can you not? now words can take on the properties of wood and lead and metal if they need to.
because they bear the scent of texture.
