THE COMPLEMENT AND ANTAGONIST
OF BLACK (OR, THE DEFINITION OF ALL
VISIBLE WAVELENGTHS)

Rauschenberg – even his blankness 

couldn’t stay sacred; the panels’ ashen trinity

not spoken of in a church although one couldn’t

be more immaculate than those vacuous

canvases.

Chaste spaces invite shadows invite art. Mirrors

of air licked

by many. Frames for chance

theatre. Airports

for dust

                                                           mites.
