Words don’t change their shape, they change their meaning, their function… They don’t have a meaning of their own any more, they refer to other words that you don’t know, that you’ve never read or heard… you’ve never seen their shape, but you feel… you suspect… they correspond to… an empty space inside you… or in the universe…

Thought:

“I confess I meant to grow wings and lose my mind. I confess that I’ve forgotten what for.”

Alice Notley
