Thirty years of notes, stories, letters, and fragments. A few of them:

Please Be Fed ... What can anyone do about human flesh and fur? ... Please don't not take them in ... KM rahn-day-vous daw daw daw ... A Kind of Fizzling Out, through the Electric Blue Semi-Transparent Cords ... Our Hearts are Full with Aha-fortable Sadness and So So Foodah Sickness ... Heaven ... you should always burn the esteemed pudding in a cotton sack ... Duff ... Do you remember the guiding tan and lack of tan elder woman? ... It's such a messy and grounded song

Hahnu Youn is eighty-three and has no house. What there is instead is a bench, wherever the bench happens to be. Weathered like an elder tortoise, and still, for reasons nobody has accounted for, easily surprised ...

Come Stand

What follows is one writing, whole ... nothing cut, nothing explained ...

The silence after it is the room ...

The morgue in Soweto has run out of everything except grief and two women named Grace and Fadima who refuse to let the children go unnamed.

Grace holds the brush. Small brush. The kind meant for watercolor birds, delicate things. Not this.

Fun combined with Gravity ... in and outside of tension ... That ice shelf approved it ... The reverse is just as true ... the cold reads as cool because everything around it is warming up ... The principle underneath a stamped melt ... isn't always a fun assemblage of tones we wear ... it's the carrier ...

Play is what makes serious material receivable ...

Come Down

The chamber is under the Malheur National Forest, in eastern Oregon, and there are fallen logs to sit on.

A Machine That Can Hear

Some mornings the trouble isn't that the machine can't hear us. It's that it hears us too well. Takes every sentence for an instruction. Closes the window we were working in because we happened to say the word close inside a thought about something else.

There is a particular frustration in speaking carefully to a thing that keeps mistaking our speech for orders. We slow down. We choose plainer words. We start writing around our own vocabulary, and the sentences go stiff, and we begin to suspect the problem is us.
