rearranging molecules

what was not known
stop knowing now

reality's long
shelf-life

midnight derbis
find the hiss

and drain
'forget/forgive' blurred
by WHAT?

think like smoke
turn the clatter-song

down the shadows
have never been

so empty.

'dusty shelf' is another ming gem. I am not equipped to understand it -- all -- but parts of it
make sense to my linear brain. I am in love with 'reality's long / shelf-life' and 'and drain / 'forget/forgive' blurred / by WHAT?' -- the latter particularly -- since to forget and to forgive have always seemed mysterious -- and unfathomable -- things in Here... practice them rarely. As always, a priceless show. A Ming vase that holds us captive -- not an unusual thing -- with ming.
