the capture of motion

[Alan Sondheim]

the capture of motion


body parts slide past one another.
dismemberment is a state we come to.
our final journey is the beginning of dispersion.
bodies bend in inconceivable ways.
look at the pile of bodies.
the world is a violent efflorescence.
we create the flowers that lure us to our death.
spikenard.

i hope to create such worlds for you that you will remember their
resonance and the feelings they induce. i hope to offer you the limitless
possibilities of the dead.

i am legion and of the world.
