8/27/2007 幽冥。[Vol.3 Final]
26.In the rain or under a grey sky, in a weather that imparts little light, water is water less simply. 27.When it rains, fly-like specks mass briefly on the surface of the river. As each raindrop touches the water miniscule circles form: ephemeral geometries of contact. 28.Delicate textures, fugitive structures: more elusive treasure! 29.What are you thinking about? Are you paying attention to the numbers? Maybe you won't read all of these footnotes. Maybe you'll get tired and walk away.(But there are more--more pictures, more footnotes, behind you or down the hall or in another room.) 30.What are you thinking about? Rain falling on water is so evocative.(I remember places I've never been.) 31.What are you thinking about? Rain falling on water is so alluring, so soothing. 32.What are you thinking about? Rain falling on water flattens the reflections and tranquilizes the view. 33.What are you thinking about? Rain falling on water is so alluring, so soothing and tender. The river becomes a meadow, a soft place to lie down in. 34.Watching rain fall on water calms and quiets me. I feel the space of the river changed; it becomes more a part of the things around it: a part of the weather, a part of the sky, and somehow more a part of me. 35.Black water(this water)is never sweet. Black water(this water)is cold, often frigid, sometimes cool but never tepid. Black water(this water)is hard not soft. It's brash and rough; it might irritate; it still lubricates. It's often disturbed but it's never calm, at least not simply calm. It might be fresh, but you'd never know it and I'm sure you'd never believe it. It's frequently agitated. It's always troubled. I don't think you can question that, even when it appears quiet. Black water(this water)is never serene or brilliant or clear. It's unsettled even when still. It can be deep, but it's hard to know where. Even this water is wet, but mostly in a parching way. |
