A Resting Sequence
Embodied time
the tissue remembers
the sensory aspects lengthen the minutes
rushing through the hours
my fingers are dividing the threads
the fingertips thinking about
what the fingertips in centuries
before their existence
might have corresponded with
in the fabric of things
in-between the loopholes
in-between productivity and rest
there lies a time
not quite sure what to do with itself
not quite ready to jump on
another thought, another goal,
another destination
maybe dreamtime
maybe just there is
a fabric hangs and dries
quietly in the sun
only the wind is able to move it
all the steady movements of
putting the threads into place
go unnoticed into the background
what stays is a moment
a momentum
of wind and sun and textile
I imagine a scene
from the factory days
when people were having breaks
in the yard.
Chitter chatter and maybe lunch packets.
A smoke until the clock strikes.
Who are the protagonists in the backyard now?
Valerian
Thistle
Fleabane
Himalayan Balsam
(sometimes the cat, hypnotized by the valerian)
Red currants
and the sun – doing it’s dance amongst the brittle walls
glistening sunlight and damp shadows
inviting me for a brief moment
to take a seat
and taking it in.
appreciation for everything what’s going on here.
bees are crazy as ever
butterflies landing on the floor
the wood is aching
the walls a breathing
the house doing it’s best to stand up straight.
