Caught

in a queasy nether world,

neither ephemeral nor substantive,

Desperate Tales: Anxious Allegories

physically floats on the slightest currents of air

just as their referents hover in, and on,

an undulating material plane of existence.

The haunting apparitions,

gestations of personal experience

and collective mediation,

ruminate on the extensions and limits of

consciousness condemned to

awareness of its own culpability in domestic

and foreign affairs.

Frequent use of anthropomorphic and fabular

imagery elicits interpretation

of events distilled to maximize questioning

social relations while it also

acknowledges a preoccupation with the

transformed body that couples our

electronic and ancestral ages..
