Flyer design by Rafael Delacruz
---------------------------------

The light through the window 
and porous vinyl sticker
the way someone buys those pickles in bags
or what I thought was soda ash 
sprayed like a paint ball 
across three lanes
and the jersey wall

There are things to look at
beyond agitation
beyond the appearance of the trees 
or a mirrored pond
I just haven’t seen them out here

My subject is 
the light on my face
and the shadows
the reflections in waters through a slatted gate
partial and abstracted get it?
but also the way that makes me feel

My mind is the weight
of foamed milk
so I wrote 
it down
an emergency poppet 
I’ll make on the fly
in the perfect likeness of this
tiny melancholic 
ignorance

“Go where I send you”

like this,

ending,
In the end
the zodiac answers all 
our questions 
finally


– Josh Minkus, 2015
