Rubies from Heaven
accumulation. vibration. color. excess. the body engulfed by a flood of images. fractures, fragments, particles sped up and slowed. an entrance, a passageway, an exit: transfer, movement. delayed arrivals, departures... through a wall of color, reflections, deflections, sounds of the spectrum. pulsing light penetrates the transparency of a once solid glass field broken apart by color, shards of imagery, an aerie, stars born and destroyed - explosions, new textures of light and space.
and now what to do with rubies that fall from heaven...
