#1874 - he loses the horizontal hold









1874

6.47

16.ii.25

he loses the horizontal hold

vertigo

 

it’s when perhaps having pushed too far

a self I mean

or else an uncaused cause

 

it’s a bung nerve, wire crimped

between the day and me

disproof of solipsistry

 

then let another observe the eye

its flicker unsteadying

a rapid whim of where

 

the floor cannot be trusted

neither the walls

nor I

 

close focus

read just a little before the risk

and now I need the garden

 

what’s in my hand should steady

though I might squeeze the life out of it

worst of it is ye know not the hour

 

this script’s reliable as weather

distance is my friend, and water

let the world in

 

that’s the trick

stop stock still

look up

 

look down, look all around

acknowledge the world

let spin
