From the series 'Totem'
Totem, 2004

Phony unreasonable animals
Cock-and-bull stories

Petroglyphs between mountains, wind in ricefields: where?s Totoro?

A tutelary divinity
Watches over,
A hair ball disguised into
Impenetrable wisdom

Colored rocks, vicunas on the side of the roads. Black and white dog in the streets. Flock of goats, lamas, sheep. Little girl asking me not to take a shot of her. Small black dog asking me to play with him. A cow walks near the cemetery.

Barbed friezes our lives spent behind bars
Dogs are passing over without touching
A someone saw them pass by ten thousand years ago

And totems: they make our
Hair stand on mad ends

15,000 feet above the ground: still lamas and vicunas; bizarre rabbits,
almost invisible. Lake, coots, pink flamingos flying away.

A little further, pigs cross without an eye for the road.

I became a marmot. Endlessly hungry. Animals? anima. 21 grams?

Totems as total tots
At the end of their tether.

Finite but infinite.

Formol snake
Mother and her litter
In her corsetless body
Inanimate animals mate with the last word
Out of order:

Crystalline layer of stars
Shell powder on a stolen page.
