[19 June 2023] Presentations, me tal [mental] representations of object or event, reside in the subconscious, they can be brought to consciousness by the association of stronger presentations. Residue, the traces left behind after the object is perceived. #74, what does it bring to mind, ballet pointing, a horse doing ballet, dancing, a stallion? A boy horse. Swimming, nor fully determined, swimming in the background of the painting, glowing orange and gold. Stamped, branded on the forehead, with a shield. Still in the womb, translucent, foetus. Rain, storm clouds, wind. The beginnings of the foundations of the earth. Forming.
What is the point of anything?
A rattling foot. Vibrations through my right foot.
The threat of a stallion.
Softly it approaches, gently it establishes itself,
until it finally reveals its power.
Strength. Danger!
Its power to bind you, to string you like a puppet.
And pull, does it pull!
Vague, undetermined, lacking information, to be filled out and completed by me. By you.
Eternal and infinite.
Deep rumblings.
And the shadow that always follows or precedes.
