Fret
A wall constantly in motion, shrouding, creeping, ominous
in its fretful, secretive presence. The wall encroaches and hides,
threatens and is unpredictable. It has no edges and knows
no boundaries. It is as a veil, tantalising and provoking curiosity.
A grey wet film creating its own foreigness and negating its locality,
transforming and subduing the visual and the audible – subsumed
in its stillness, perhaps from another land, over there.
