                                a child searches for a mummy
                                among the sketches while the
                                streets outside fill with traffic

                                the strong lines of architecture
                                inverse to sketchy life, there are
                                dark lives behind twilight streets
                                there is no power in the rain

                                there are no mummies possible
                                in sketchy line they all end up ‘…
                                down the rabbit hole’ there is only
                                discharge and account remaining and
                                the four whores of the apocalypse

 

a little snippet from askance From Hell, askance from chapter ten of From Hell by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell, gwn’n’avvalook

architecture wormhole: new year’s eve 2014; train up to London to / walk the bridges across the Thames, and / listen to the voices say it is, and was, like, / but get back home before the fireworks / obliterate it all in the emptying twilight
Alan Moore & life wormhole: purpose
child & mother wormhole: Plumstead – Woolwich – Plumstead 290508 – / the breath of London
compromise & obligation wormhole: 1959 –– MANHATTAN –– 2012
rain & society & streets wormhole: events happen / through all measure of name
speech wormhole: ‘never a dull moment …’
twilight wormhole: September – silhouette of leaf // the / inside and the / outside
