Zone in
you can hear a clock tick
Zone out
wind blows away the silence
Zone in
that’s our cat snoring
Zone out
I’m sleepless tonight
Zone in
nightmares & dark dreams
Zone out
thought as a kind of magic
Zone in
incomprehension & confusion
Zone out
the lure of spatial boundaries
Zone in
entanglements & contradictions
Zone out
stories set in other times
Zone in
colour, movement, space & line
Zone out
the consequence of landscape
Zone in
growing disconnection
Zone out
ghosts at the heart of each atom
Zone in
indistinct shapes & smells
Zone out
ripples across a pond
