“The anarchy of the fountain is an absence of water Instead buffeting violet light on the downward arc from a splendidly perched upper basin

The upper basin is important, not unlike colour, to any notion of the authentic The upper basin is intrinsic yet supplemental, a bird’s perch, an unattainable accessory both toweringly majestic and superfluous like a figure head whose style is a belated container a raised basin for grey areas”

-- from “Sleep Water”
