How to make sure that seeing

anything is not seeing oneself?

                                   —Etel Adnan

My assignment stayed

extremely busy.  I am

staring into a blowing

electric fan.  As if

face to face in love.

Stuck on repeat,

my assignment

never lazes,

leaves the room,

blown by the

sound of the

howling wind,

which eradicates,

as if face to face,

the love, the

howling, the

echo of the

blown

electric

fan.
