“My show was a success, except financially”
Fairfield Porter in a letter to Aline Porter, Christmas Day, 1951
Man of glass
When you’re trying to unlock it all
I saw four, maybe five
lightning bolts, and then
a man walked by with a chair.
He was sure, one hundred percent
sure of what he was doing.
He didn’t sit on the chair.
A ghost did. The ghost explained everything,
and everything was perfectly clear.
Borderline
Razorblade cocktail
Our potent mix of disgust and desire
Passage through multiple layers of reality
Setting out
Shorn
Wind
Having seen all that it touched,
I see why they call it withering
