dissolution

base matter swilling

in the glass flask of impossibility

all the imprints of order decaying within

the process of painting impermanence


upon a black board

the liberal pouring of polyurethane

the impress of small squares of brown ceramic

pieces of found lead from a rail-side paddock

a pair of house bricks removed before

the dying process adheres them

leaving only their dark imprint


hose the surface to foam and flake

the polyurethane into a document

of the water’s interaction and disappearance


a painting as a remnant

a document of an anti-process

an alchemical experiment in

the action of rolling down

the hill of mount disappointment

to achieve its glowing summit
