bedsit 2 (extract)
memories first
before the search for
adjectives
to nail to the concrete nouns
vague pictures feelings a
young Imago
the callow and shallow verb
to be
the past is a grammar the
present corrects
and memory is fickle and
feckless
the taste of the air in the
room forgotten
the windows smeared with
light there is
the room being a room not the
room not his room
and moment to moment Imago
being in the room
the furniture furnishing the
room just the forms
and the details almost gone the
betrayal
of experience to language by
time …
