Faster than I can Think*

Poem from & to Linda Geary by Norma Cole

Having a body

I find my reality

Sometimes in life

Perfectly imperfect

Idea comes later

“Their Natural Bodies” (Claude Royet-Journoud)

A kind of cure

Desire is

Experience

“Surface Matters” (Vija Celmins)

Music of the music

Playful encounters

Before it becomes

We are all here early

The coat you notice

Curious

Walking by

On the sidewalk

Prototypes

Stars similar to the sun

Also possess planets

Reaching beyond

Light timing

Heat

Imagine

Paint before thought

“You just let it go” (Ed Clark)

Seeing after

Out loud

Edges, what about them?

Complicate simply

First time

At the edge

Color everlasting
