There was something he was supposed to be doing only he couldnt remember what. Ask the eye to see its eyelashes. He could remember all the lunar flora and fauna ever thought hed remember his arrival to this land where the only way to see home is during nighttime up in the sky. The mesmerist named the chemical imbalance in his head and suddenly all the wet little spaces in his head the planets circling its orbit.

For hours he has been rocking in and out of the moonlight. Every year he grows younger while aging faster. A day is a gate like the memory of fire the first long migration and the last page of his journal entry begins with nobody knows what he is not.

I wish this was a different story. The world has turned suddenly upside down. They dont know what it is to be so chronically untouched that it extended from a spaceless to the edge of what can be petted that an accidental brush of mailmans hand on your palm sent a jolt of longing straight to your trunk. I have sat on the grass park benches stoops hospital room chairs holding the great stocks of unused objectless desire impaled in my lungs that collapses without oxygen until I was sure I was not in the room where the air is burning. I live in America I dont have to love it nothing sound less than freedom to me you do that. Everybodys got to love something by Cole Lu contemporary artwork sculpture

Cole Lu I wish this was a different story. The world has turned suddenly upside down.

Cole Lu What does actual life mean? He turned. At his feet lay the shape of Orthros' imprint; the puppy used to lean against him whenever he sits still. Between him and the animal is the namelessness. The last time he wrote with Orthros, the puppy was 4, laying on the ground by the fireplace, the little one's soft golden coat completely hidden under the shifting cloak of heat. And now he is 37. As he races to record his memory, Orthros' imprint, was long gone. (Wake), 2021 Burnt linen, rubberwood
