On A Hunger: At Bottaio

reading slowly, precisely, these

exquisite hyperreal sentences, images

like Dalí’s ink drawings found in 

that remote Catalan village

or dream paintings, dissolving

time, or an enlarged nightmare, 

story, all process and

excellence of materials, stories 

about materials themselves

a joke on the expertise

as it were, yet moving

into a thing indescribable

and then I wake up
