Tattoo

Tattoo

The light is like a spider.
It crawls over the water.
It crawls over the edges of the snow.
It crawls under your eyelids
And spreads its webs there–
Its two webs.

The webs of your eyes
Are fastened
To the flesh and bones of you
As to rafters or grass.

There are filaments of your eyes
On the surface of the water
And in the edges of the snow.

-Wallace Stevens

End Note

This tumblelog is curated by Ernesto Priego and is powered by Tumblr.You are free to reblog or share in other ways what I post here, but how you do it remains your responsibility. Responsible sharers care about licensing, attribution and reciprocal linking. We are all thinking collectively, but it's not fair to profit individually from the collective's efforts. The theme was designed by Bill Israel, and he deserves full credit for it.

["Here words have presence only in so much as they are (literally) illumined from behind, just as we attain identity only retroactively, through a kind of perpetual process of catching up to ourselves". -Keep, McLaughlin and Parmar, 1993-2000]
