3 Small Pieces From THE SOMNAMBULE'S CRIME |

Nature scene
A dog on the desk abandoned beneath a sycamore in the snow staring at tiny birds best seen by flashlight. |

Anti-Nature
A deciduous tree with a thin scrolling lever lies next to a piece of ancient office furniture slowly developing a mirrored skin. It is at the edge of a visual-verbal �nature� like three black sausages in a white paper carton. Very passive and very detailed: a candlelit puppet mine with temporary female workers arranging their hair. Very precious and full of serious pleasure. |

The juncture
A railroad train rises in a conversation which survives my departure like an unnamable drug made from dark and moist birds. |
