"Lately I've been looking at things that hurt me. Caring, as I do, not at all for art. When a frame hangs its weight from a wall I feel mostly for the wall. Before carving, the sculptor remarks the shape of his art inside the rock,
being that the rock is build by Time and the Earth to carry the smooth musculature of the beautiful thing I see in it,
he says. Some burdens are unfair. It's the Saturday before Easter, and the beginnings of something are percolating somewhere in a cave, waiting for a rock to roll away. That rock, likely, just a rock. When you fall to your knees to tug your shoe up over your heel your stacked bones groan like a camel. Sad pack animal -- no. The camel's purpose is not to stir the strange goings-out of the heart we call empathy but to bear weight and even to like it, probably, its whole body down to its hard knee-joints tell me this. No matter. I'll feel what I feel.
In an art gallery, I am moved to contemplate pack animals
