A mythology of Dada Saheb Phalke
In which we keep time in years, each [Year] like a woman's saree, gathering so much into its pleats. Each Year aware that it is a lie, wanting to be a bundle of planted eyes at a factory, seeking wakefulness to everywhere at once. Each Year aware that at most, it is a net of holes,or maybe eyes,thrown over a consciousness of that which we try to have a sane relationship with by Calling it time. We shake the bottoms of our nets and string our grains of catch out to dry: frozen photographs and alphabets hung across pages.We try to call them in through our eyes. I wait for a carbon arc to jolt in contact up in a black box inside. I'm trying to open up those dried fish with whichever small lights.
A needle appears in sky threading mind i begin to stitch upon water
O Saraswati who sinks into lotus like dew, we invoke you, parent, child, friend dear enough to be either.. again and again, putting a needle in those old grooves, letting them scratch, loving archivist of our creaking sounds.. teach us the patience to look carefully and wide, to gather too much and to know how to store in our stories, carefully, lovingly, beautifully.. the multiplying thoughts that overwhelm us, so that we might one day say, I drew the wave
The very vanity of the enterprise, when it finally makes me move, pulls me in further, and me and Me and mee. Like a large gathering of locusts, we scatter, making a new sky
