Nuclear paradigm?Paradise? Paradox /
Lost love /Lost life
Desire for desiredsDespair / divorce
Downwards soundlessDrowning in contrary motion
Complicated emotionUnrequited devotion
Inspired by beautyBeastly, fruity,
Backwards from fallingFlying out of love
Crescendo in a crash courseOn cracking up, crazy for
Starlight shine whiteCrying eyes bright
Brilliant with lightLosing, losing
The fight good GodHe’s gone for good, oh God
Give me a second chanceChance for second love
Fly- she’s a doveDive from darkness
New happy heart unbrokenNew devotion?
Cautious caring, Daring darling
Dearly beloved, be quiet, Be mine once more?
Again nothing gainedJust pain / pained this
Paradigm / Paradise // Paradox / Paradox /
Love’s Labour Lost
u
I want to be a poet. I want- leave me at the front and light me well -I want to call out curious words in order,to come and sit uneasily with the mind,and cause a kind of comfort.
I want to draw sweet sayings out of the world,wisdom from a child, or -or perfume from a flower perfume from a flower, oh! - softly-sweetly taste on my tongue.
I want to itch away at earthuntil it looks a little nicer,like...the way Cambridge looksnicer in spring;until I can feel my voiceuntroubled on the moss,resplendent in unfinal green.

Odysseus
‘Sing in me, M
use,’
I have no name; lying cyclopsed
By some steel stinging touch
That cut a cavern, deep into the bone:A
vivid horror in a clean lime crag.
Take beauty and then twist: here lies a m
onsterBut now
he hides in stiff white linen sheets.
I struggle up to gasp as waves of shells
Crash dow
n around the bed - yet all is stillThe fear that bites blood from
my lips in dread
Is one more ogre lurking in m
y head.I drift aw
ay, as flotsam on sleep’s tide.
Waking sodden to som
e isle of thought,She hovers by m
y face with lover’s hands
A w
itch white clad w
ith glazed and aging eyes.So intim
ate, so close and yet so cold.H
er rough undressing rips off squeals of pain,U
nmanning m
e to swine. M
y honour bled,R
ecoiling from the rub of flannel teeth
Begs Morpheus to bring sleep’s curtain dow
n.
An age they hold m
e, some nights draw
n to yearsW
ith fever’s harsh calypso in my ears
And C
yclops howling anger to the sea.
But as the pig-skin sloughs and I am m
an,They say that I am
well and at w
ar’s end.So I shall hom
e, to wife and son for peace
Praying that in their arms I m
ay find restN
ow red-crim
ped poppies wreathe m
y bloodied way
And crosses fence the road.

TRAIN
“It’s good to change, when you can, but the red one? Really?” “A little bit of colour. You want to stand out on the Piste. ““Simon says it doesn’t matter”“He’s not the one that has to wear it.”
Black beech trees, starting up from the ground around me. It’s very military, like a gun salute- a special train taking you to your final resting place, trundling along kakakakaka on those spindly little metal fingers like a caught centipede. I’m surprised you want to go there at all. ‘Where you’re heading you can’t take a train’- it wouldn’t fit up the mountain. At least if anything happened the red one would catch St Bernard’s eye- you’d spot me from a mile off that way, a blood- dot like a pin-prick. “Kakakakaka”- another body drops. You can’t see this but just between the hay- stocks there’s a little snow still where the sun doesn’t shine.
Is it the same stuff? here it all turns to sludge, or is covered in a film of ice so that when you tread down it feels hard and mean and you lose your footing.
“I’ll have a cup of tea please”
You could do with one of these. I can see you wrapping your blue fingers around the soft polystyrene, the steam blessing your burnt nose- funny that-“When I’m gone I shall send you a postcard”Funny that it’s organic, this bread. You don’t expect that from Network rail. What was it again? A ‘small good’ something?
You’d say everything is organic. Well, looking out the window it would seem that you were right. Snow-dust-ash. They’re all names for the same thing. Particular. Take any one in between finger and thumb and it will dissolve. Good.
“When do we get in?”
You stop to look at the rolling names and numbers on the screen. Start to finish in a big book almost- This is Your Life- arrive Heaven 3.30. Make some tea. But sometimes I wish we had hours. I wish I could take this train like a spear, photoframe its long slide west catch each moment in its entirety- all dimensions. Know exactly where we were when you asked“When do we get in?”
Each line on the track is a marker - that sound again: kakakaka – here I raised my finger to the steamed glass and wrote – kakakaka - you flick through the catalogue and crease the corner of a page. The ash- black trees are like fossils too, the carriage a vacuum test- tube. That makes sense, I suppose, of the groove in your seat I can still just see, though it’s melting fast into the horizon, into the rough lines of the bench, the gangway, ‘the plank’ almost. I almost said.
“I walk the line” hum hum, “I walk the line”
Now as you trip back to your seat I think that. And I think perhaps I can play-stop-rewind-stop-play. No-one does that anymore- now you can just ‘skip.’ Though maybe there’s a scratch along the disk because here I am in the same seat. Here I am.
Outside the snow has thawed, runs along the thick grass, slips into boot tracks. Paths intersect, a moments pathos as the blood mixes. One slides longer, and deeper, another peters out into a grass bank. Underneath this surface the clay is being choked. First the concrete of ice. Then the tarmac of snow.
Why would you want to go somewhere where it was like that all the time?
As the snow melts on the subject’s skin the water intensifies the sun’s rays, causing the skin to peel in long thin strips. Already the friction from the ice, so cold it burns, has blistered the flesh black. Fire and ice.
“What was it?”“Edema”To the heart or to the skin. It all sounds a bit dangerous but, you know the risks and
“what was it?”“I remember when my feet slipped. For some reason the rope loosed from the sling and I fell back, back back. Below me must have been sky because above me I could see the rock face like the world had spun upside down.” And then (cup of tea please) you must have carried falling up, watching the ice break into the brown rock further down, the light catch your glasses, sending life splashing around your eyes in technicolor. Not real. Somehow you had time to imagine your limp body rolling, like a felled tree through the brook below, given over to fate. Then the rope snapped taught as a sinew, pulling your neck back-forward-back and your legs up to your chest in a mid air prayer. You clasped your hands around the cord like a new – born. In that moment every film you’d ever seen was there.

This is a canvas
These canals like veins breathe on summer daysgraffiti names and vows of love scrawled under bridgesthe sunset’s haze burns behind desolate factories asskeletal gasworks tower over half-built frames of offices andthe gentle sway of boats soften the sound of a radio’s half-buzz.We snake our way from wealth through forgotten gardensbarred windows and stray footballs, from landscaped lawnsto half-wild embankment, tracing the remnantsof great urban plans, the dreams of architects and the livessof unseen strangers, the marks left by use and love, by misuseand distrust, looking for a code in the chaos, finding only yourhand in mine, light projected in the water, the city in our hearts.

Jorge Macchi is a Latin American artist whose works explore the absurdity of everyday life and the complexity of the simple. His spectators are invited to find their own interpretations of his work, Macchi asking of them only to stop for a moment and question the way in which they usually view and understand the world. His works include “Amsterdam” (2004), a map of the city with the land cut away, leaving only a canal skeleton remaining, “Caja de música” (2003), a video showing a birds eye view of a motorway which plays as a musical box as cars enter the frame, and “Parallel Lives” (1998), a Gran fragata matchbox, a popular brand in Argentina, filled with 400 matches lying in almost exactly the same position on either side of it.
Buenos Aires Tour (2003), my favourite of his works, is a project aimed at giving an alternative tour of Macchi’s home city. To determine the route of the tour, he broke a piece of glass over a map of Buenos Aires and then chose 46 points along the fracture lines. At each point he took photographs, made sound recordings and collected items and the tour can be re-created by using a box he made that contains a guide, a map, a CD-ROM, a dictionary, a mass book, a letter, postcards and stamps.
The result is an illuminating and magical guide, which takes the viewer through the real and everyday life of a city rather than to the “significant” tourist destinations.
Inspired by Macchi’s work, last summer a friend and I set out to produce a guide of London. Rather than breaking a piece of glass, we splattered red paint across a map to determine the places we would visit.***
Although it remains a work in progress (we have documented just 12 points, and have over 150 more to complete), so far it has led us to places we would never normally have visited, and helped us to consider our surroundings in finer detail. In the 12 points around Euston station, we came across the Old Carreras Cigarette Factory, a fantastic Egyptian inspired Art Deco building guarded by a pair of metre tall black cats, were given a guided tour of the Somers Town Community Centre, and met the owner of the Middle Eastern Supermarket on Eversholt Street. We also collected many items including a misplaced Trivial Pursuit card, an art-print of the Café de Flore in Paris, discarded by Tommy Flynn’s Bar near Mornington Crescent, and a half written letter. Everything was documented.

Painting on a curved surface
The clock struck ten. A greenlily flecked with nutmeg spotsbloomed in a glazed pot by theopen window. Mozart was seated at the sec-retary in the Green Saloon ofAztec House writing a letter tohis cousin in Ephesus. Lady Alexandra entered theroom carrying a trivet of wal-nuts and water biscuits. Desmond Duffy was waitingin the Circular Hall. ‘We are going to Parrsborotonight,’ she said. ‘And Octavia will be there.’ ‘And Octavia will be there,’she echoed. Mozart directed his gazeinto the evening light. ‘Can you guess my secret?’he asked. She flashed her fine eyesat him and laughed. She said,‘Every bicycle is haunted byan invisible horse.’ Mozart stood up. The wisteria was tappingat the French windows. The candles were unlit. Sawyer Hall was waiting.
u
Suite For Solo Cello
First strokes. First notes. Like those first awkward glances. The curved outline of an instrument where it presses against the skin, the skin just beneath the collarbone.
Those are the things he noticed first. Her face, so concentrated, so still almost, yet so changing. Like ripples crossing a river, dark folds of water suggesting something underneath. And the hands, fingers, lips. Puckered when something momentarily slipped, a gasp of a pause in the space between the strings and the bow. A pause which hovered there, as the music still seemed to go on around him, and which then, with a definite nod of the head, a squeeze of the hips, the bow back on the cello, carried on.
u
‘Pianism’ in the A
rchitecture of King’s C
ollege Chapel
Insofar as
the ratio
of black
keys to
white
keys in
a standard
88 key
grand piano
is9:13
(36 black
keys and
52 w
hite keys)
we
could see
the sam
e pattern
in the
architecture of
King’s
chapel.Expanding
9:13 to
18:26, there
are 18
window
s com
posing the
east and
west
window
s, respectively.
Also,
the north
and south
fronts are
composed
together of
26 structural
bays -
18:26, or,
9:13.This
is not
to say
that all
or m
ost of
the m
usic played
in the
chapel is
on or
for an
88 key
grand piano.
All
that is
being suggested
here is
that insofar
as m
uchW
estern m
usic is
composed
on or
for a
standard grand
piano (such
as B
rahms’s),
then it
follows
that that
kind of
music
would
converge w
ith one
aspect of
the chapel
design, and
that it
makes
sense the
chapel w
ould be
an appropriate
venue for
it.

Yes, to speak without words,Yes, to speak withoutYes, withoutYes What?
n
n
from ‘Soldier, Soldiers’
After the war endedEverybody forgot how to speak.It wasn’t an inconvenience,It was a necessity.
Men stopped crying,Women wore large coatsAnd babies stopped being born.Only the cars were cold.
The boy next door – I remember -Had a stiff foot but anAerodynamic laugh. I rememberWhen his parents died,
He forgot which foot hurtAnd why he should smile.I blamed the war and theWeather – He blamed God.
Tomorrow they’re launchingMillions of balloons just outsideThe old brick hospitalIn memory of the survivors.
It was a war, they say,Where nobody died;No one who fought in itNo one who saw it coming.
If I stare at the waterAnd stand with the light on meI can see myself floating,Resting on dark cold water.
I know why my body is cold anywayI remember being told.I am also empty and haveNo use right now...

A city groomedShined and polished, itsCracks papered with dollar bills.In the street, parades -Crisp uniforms on scarred menLives swept away by shells areTombed under smooth roads.A woman crying at the barrier isCornered by denial -His rough hands buffet herBackwards into memoryWhen other men cameAnd killed her brother.For her, the world whispersDeafeningly in chorusAnd shadow-peopleAlmost brush her clothesStealing her voice to leaveTerrified whimpers.u
