Artist Info:

Run as fast as I can,<br />
I can only stand tree-still.<br />
I spread my fingers seeking something that isn't there<br />
and try to get something firm to stand on.<br />
<br />
I enter,<br />
not into night<br />
but into what night exposes as it darkens.<br />
I keep wondering where to place a lamp to keep seeing what I see,<br />
till there's nothing left to throw light on.<br />
And that makes me try drawing closer to myself<br />
the naked depth that opens before me.<br />
But before kissing him I spread my fingers<br />
thinking as I free-fall<br />
that I may waken in vain while falling.....<br />
<br />
.....Even when a crowd of distances supports me,<br />
because I didn't know where the distances came from,<br />
I couldn't say this was not a dream.<br />
No pain wakened me.<br />
<br />
I expand on and on<br />
but like an awkward tree I am sure only of my expanding,<br />
unsure altogether where I am.<br />
For even if the sun should suddenly begin to shine,<br />
earth and sky might grow visible<br />
but I could see nothing else.<br />
Though night reveals to me<br />
what daylight conceals,<br />
even then I can see nothing.<br />
