Helmut Lemke posts 'Winter', the last in his seasonal art 'lectures' featuring his reading of my specially written poem:
Zugzwang as the Fourth Part registering Transition to Rumours of Winter and End
Transition from rumours of winter, positional to suns rising over there (points in that direction) rather than over there (points in that direction).
Record suns replace cold lyric frost
Counting
as
Drift
As
Autumn’s pension arrangements are now irrelevant to the quartet. To hang on . .
. to hang on
To the
field of action mostly taking place at night or winter daylight, passed
celebrating the cold last day,
The
series addition delays to die in the gap, immortal but only by implication, by
hope, by leaving the new clear to go on
precarious in Queue Theory
waking each morning darker
our moment of inertia and the failing capacity to self-heal telomere degradation
This
rhythm of fourths, a promise we aim to break, weakened, diagnosed, conditioned
to lose
winter as weary
our Lévy Flight bouncing between
this point and that point
frantic without knowing
the unannealed countdown
…eighth, twenty-ninth, thirtieth,
thirty-first.
