The Point Beyond Which Something Will Happen
HUNT, POWER, RIVETT CARNAC, Jaqueline Hunt, Katherine Power, Peter Rivett Carnac
You are about to experience it in its reality.
In this moment, know yourself, and abide in that state.
I lie down in a river of love
go to the edge and fall
plunge to the deep and hold my breath
braced against the oncoming
I lie down in a river of blood
go to the edge and die a thousand times
look to the viscous barrier
I might end, I might heal this night
at the point beyond which something will happen
at the point beyond which something will occur
The morning was fine.
I saw a red dragonfly land on the wall in front of me
the words of a Hiroshima survivor,
describing his surroundings ten minutes before the blast
