Martine Bellen

In a city of edifice, buildings reign
Musical space-time

Confluence of forces
Intangible

Parting wings, panting winds, braving deeps

Or electromagnetic force divines the ocean floor

What she feels when walking east and west. A map
Made of inflection,

Implication

Still, before this moment this moment
Hadn’t existed. Time as an organizational device
—Such as a filing cabinet
No repeating This. Proxy.
Approximation [of who I was] (She).
The ersatz attempts to stay
Awake will continue to be her [the old me,
The newer one to come]
Though by another animator/
Imitator. Wander-souls seek suicide.

Who sees the change in gods? I mean guards.

With the notion of time erased, it has been tough
For dreamers, not just eternity but infinity.

“Well, I'll eat it,” said Alice/Ramona, “and if it makes me grow larger, I will reach the key; and if it makes me grow stronger, I’ll creep under the door; so either way I'll get into the garden, which is all I care about!"

Our investigation is grammatical, sheds light on our problem by clearing away misunderstandings between forms of expression in different regions of language.

To be dying is to be living, to be living is to be dying.

If the Hara is empty spirit as we wander through form. Sound mountain. Wind engenders time. Breath: wind. Nonwind, nonbreath engenders timelessness. Nonlessness. For those who have re-leased breath, housed in it, firing down freeways. Relinquish. Clinking bell.

This Matter beyond correspondence.
