I'm really sad to hear that kari edwards died on Saturday.
from Obedience by kari edwards:
if it seems something belongs somewhere
if there is something somewhere
or a someone somewhere
if in fact
it is a place in time
turning back on itself
in a location
holding both and merely in an intention
an exposure turned inside out
without something acting out
with the resurgence of symbols
somewhere on the body
quickened by an undeciphered other
standing in a difference
between a thing and matter
between an event and a thing
standing in a disappearance
and reemergence
doing something to the body
exposed to another
doing something
somewhere
being a place
turned inside out
dying as a place
turned inside out
in the face of things
feeding each other
reduced in absolute pain
of strangeness and proximity
corresponding to the other
bumping into the other
repelling
never resisting
seated at a table
searching for words
in the compound of hope
understanding the momentary complication
left with nothing
rising in and resisting
moving through space
moving through another
along for the ride
with nothing other than
an illusory promise
of death
in an elusive universe of
is and
let's begin again
. . . .
