Distracted Geographies: An Archipelago of Intent
by Sudeep Sen
[This piece began on a wet August morning in 1997, as I sat in a
half-sunken basement space of a partially restored fifteenth-century
mansion, `Gartincaber', in Doune (near Stirling, Scotland). Drunk
under the spell of this space, both interior and exterior, dactyls
were dictated to me by the photons in surrounding electric-charged air
� this was where my journey began.]
My thin country,
my own spine.
Locked dactyls,
unconnected,
stretched,
deeply fused.
* * *
Juices spill
cautiously
like preserved
semen
anguishing
to let go.
* * *
Haemorrhage
underlying
my retina
focuses
incorrectly
on the passion
of spent
moulting skin.
* * *
Steel splinters
injecting metal
to hold
fragile bones,
desire
a delicate touch.
