"Drawing with colors and materials - then - 
just as - 
the vertical - horizontal - 
repeatedly - 
combining hard and soft - 
a backbone 
and flesh and nerves - 
dial a different body - 
not mine and yet - 
roundness - spikes - 
the breath - 
and pin it all here on the wall like 
a cut pending - 
a knot or a related bleeding - 
a sign that ... space. "
