BROOK ANDREW
NO PASARA…
My experience of life is like looking through glasses that deconstruct.
Looking for a point of distortion: when a car is not a car; when a tree should be there.
Our connections to an object or event – our reactions.
1.
Inside you it travels
Meandering stream
Outside you it devours
The ocean
Touching the screams
No more humanity
All below, sweet beds of boils
2.
Can you become darker in the flames?
Licking your skin
3.
4.
Above the shadow
Peering the corner
Allowing the substance
Seeping alone
Wobbling confusion – jumping.
Tedious I know – special effects.
5.
Out in the type
Sunk in the type
Between the type
Forgive the threat
For it is only in your enemies mind
