From A Crossway (The Green Window Sequence)
«Il n’est pas d’objet plus profond, plus mystérieux, plus fécond, plus ténébreux, plus éblouissant qu’une fenêtre éclairée d’une chandelle.»
Charles Baudelaire, Les Fenêtres

… looking upwards from a crossway’s corner, waste papers whirling in the wind, a woman’s legend might be dreamed …
… late october late afternoon dusty light through shutters ajar whilst she looks down unto the crossway, no car noise, dim forgotten music inside, «The Spy», life curdled in a forgotten selection of sixteen tarot cards under the light blue light of a green lamp …
… lost legend of stone flower turned into flowing flesh filling the stone basin to a sparkling mirror whose clouded surface shreds in wisps, then melts & fades …
… unroving through woods & moors, along brooks & shades, unfollowed by blazing & blissful eyes of whispering song …
… no journey but in time inside …
