Condensation<br />
Machined steel and wire, 2022<br />
Sculpture: Bill Grigsby, Photography: Lee Ka-sing
Condensation Man<br />
Incense smell permeating the air, in straight lines, curvy and<br />
wormy sporadically. Neurons wiring and firing, always ascending.<br />
That year, you painted a furious fire in your bedroom. Bedridden,<br />
but close to your painting every day, sketches after sketches,<br />
paint after paint, to divert the agony, escape the tedium, calm<br />
down anxiety. Then came forth a soothing, cleansing rain. In<br />
your sleep, you dreamed of three bodies: the Electric Man, the<br />
Burning Man, the Condensation Man<br />

Poem a Week<br />
Gary Michael Dault<br />
Therefore<br />
but rustle<br />
if I turn away<br />
the lawn<br />
which laps<br />
to the sidewalk<br />
brims<br />
to the sea<br />
whenever I<br />
look away<br />
I keep staring<br />
therefore<br />
to tie them<br />
down<br />
May 11, <strong>2024</strong><br />
the dogwood<br />
is a spoken bonfire<br />
with no snapping or<br />
crackling<br />
as in a real blaze<br />
both the lawn<br />
and the dogwood<br />
are as silent<br />
as bones<br />
while I’m watching

Madagascar (March 2010) - Back on the barge,<br />
I watched as a small group of boys played in<br />
the tributary. Eventually they spotted me.. I<br />
shot film, they shot back, before descending<br />
into hysterical laughter.
