8. leaky remnants


fractured and flexible time
microbes, dwelling on fruit once on a ship’s hull for almost a century (or)
in this evening’s rain causing its earthy scent (or)
two miles underground in a radioactive gold mine
pre / post anthropocenic matter—disrupted yet always unfolding, ALWAYS BECOMING
thriving in extremities, a rhythmic annihilation (a COUNTER-ANNIHILATION)
the weight of days felt through the decaying skin of things / like the last agitated casting of goods overboard in order to save a sinking vessel
a rotting substance choreographing its way through time;
time choreographing its way through a rotting substance
an embodiment of a forever passing—never past—lines of microbes both present an absent in the fruit’s (current) now
