Last night I sat up late. The dog wheezed. There were throbs like distant music, which may have been my heart. Then I split into predicate & object. I observed me, & me divided in turn into memory, hope, fantasy, motions taken, not taken, until my microcosm’s dense singularity sucked everything back

Someone leaves. We watch until they vanish. Even after. Maybe that's the most human thing we do.
Photo by Emmanuel Codden. A black and white photograph of a brick facade seen straight on. Rows of white-framed windows sit in stone surrounds between pale horizontal bands. At an upper left window, a man in a short-sleeved white shirt and tie leans on the sill beside a flower box, gazing down. Some windows open onto dark rooms, others hold sheer curtains. Iron scroll anchors dot the wall. The base is rough stone with small square windows.

"No one says a novel has to be one thing. It can be anything it wants to be, a vaudeville show, the six o’clock news, the mumblings of wild men saddled by demons." – Ishmael Reed, Yellow Back Radio Broke-Down

your task is to serve this great enterprise, which takes place in the midheaven of the midheaven, everywhere at all times. the way we touch each other and change in the starbright darkness transforms and heals. the vision of a rabbit hopping across a road is symbolic of innocence leading the way.

New little collage (from a series using fragment cut from a 1930s children’s English language textbook). 4” x 4” on canvas panel.
Collage assembled from mulberry paper, magazine and catalogue scraps in hues of green and teal with cranberry at the center. A little gold paint over some elements. The phrase “nearly everyone lives in two worlds” cut from a children’s textbook is included.

Jean Valentine, wow
Outside the Frame


It is enough, now, anywhere,
with everyone you love there to talk to.

And to listen.
Slowly we can tell each other some things about our lives:
runs, rests, brief resolutions; falls, and lulls;
hard joyful runs, in certainty; dull, sweet
durances, human silences;
                                                        look back in at the children,
the regular, neutral flicker of their blood; pale, solemn,
long-legged animal-gods in their sleep,
growing into their lives, in their sleep.

…she sometimes flashed with a mere mild glow. 🔥 The Wings of the Dove, Henry James
As soon as he had permitted himself this qualification of the unfortunate persons she so perversely cherished, he repented of his roughness—and partly because he expected a flash from her. But it was one of her finest sides that she sometimes flashed with a mere mild glow.
