STUART COOKE
Ribbons of
Preconception
- Lumpy, reactive minds, we’re
- drawn to things because in them we find
- drawings of ourselves or, at least,
-
- within them we find what we have already
drawn.
- Starlight: (you choose) a pin’s
spark, or space closed
- to a point. The coastal breeze: a soft
touch
-
- or some last, pathetic tremor. It’s
multi-
- sensual, yes, because we know sound and
taste
- still come from the things we believe we
will see
-
- or will just miss, believing
- we could have seen them. In a glance
- we’re cast off: a spear through
atmosphere; a roo
-
- struck, flattening a termite mound. To
them we
- return, to these things we’ve
already seen.
