Thought, Discontinuity


Frozen frame:
Chin dips
into sheet of stone
not stone
but river.

Two handfuls of stones
In apron pockets.
Two seconds from saying
No.
Should I turn back?
Two steps not taken.
To steps not taken.

[R2. Response to Auguste Rodin's "Thought," Marble, 1886-'89]

This is from DK's class, isn't it? I can spot her hovering lens all over this. What a great piece.

you know it, sister. i must admit: it's better now, even though over half of it got chopped.
