Contingency

 Do it like the sundial

count only the beautiful hours

not what was said

but knowing that not knowing is intimacy

know even the dahlias

and daffodils

every one a stand in for  

dearly beloved

dearly departed

anticipate

without thread

a grief from the future 

a speculation that could  

imagine

worse outcomes and better remedies

lives nodally lying next to me

or whomever

point to point particle

say no to narrative and take up only touch

which is impossible

obviously

utterly impossible to accomplish

but instead

bear boundaries happily 

instead to arrive only 

at exactly the same different place

on a bearing

in an orbit

aping the arcs and dramas of these translunary bodies

feeling full of galactic love

Pew states; (palm house) 2020

 

a large solarium attached to the palm house in the palm garden hosts a bench made of reclaimed laminate (kitchen parts - in Frankfurt when a tenant leaves an apartment they must deinstall the whole kitchen) additionally low flat glossy red "benches" or "kneelers" or "beds" host more floral arrangements and discarded palm husks - the palms in the Palm house are sick during the exhibition due to some unknown disease. The Dahlias in the "box" are harvested in the garden.

Pew States (meadow) 2020

Pew States 2020; three "positions" in the Frankfurt Palmengarten, organized as three “benches” “filled” with flower and glass arrangements. Dimensions variable

Meadow bench - Found print work table turned upside down, filled with 40+ pieces of glassware found and bought at the Frankfurt flea markets. The table takes the form of a kneeler - in a reused bag for painter's canvas is a work by Scott Keightly "Pancake Punk Patch Pillows"

Pew States (fountain) 2020

Found church bench (found when my late neighbour's apartment was emptied), found "Frankfurt" red stone; the bench is coated in an opalescent purple gel and floats barely in the fountain, held down by the weight of the stone.

Time temps

time and time again

time is still passing

but i am not with you

i knew it all at once

i count all my seconds with you

when it’s really real

arriving at the present

time sublimely challenges the why

i was dreaming of the past

try as though i might
