Mr Rilke wrote... love requires a progressive foreshortening of the senses: I can see you for miles, I can hear you for blocks, I can smell you, maybe, for a few feet but I can only touch on contact, taste as I devour you. Devour you. And as we blend, my sight the sovereign sense and concepts chief content... blurs. Me/she /we the lover... is in such splendid danger just because she must depend upon the co-ordination of her senses for she knows that they (all) must meet in the unique and risky centre, in which, renouncing all extinction, they come together and have no permanence.
In you.
Displacement... still blue the word ::: colour the condition ::: the act ::: continue to contain the one :: another.
The hand would touch lovers skin would shape alls::stead.
A blu cut through with... violet perambulations.
