absence

Poor sisters
How do you put up with the absence
absence of the other
absence of means
absence of ideal
absence of interest.

An absence is a well that must be filled
A hole without water

The lack is more important than the filled

The tide fills the hole with water
then goes out
then comes in
eternally.

Penelope weaves and unweaves
eternally

Louise Bourgeois   (paraphrased a bit)

  1. oh, this piece is an exciting beginning! My father used to joke that the only way to get rid of a hole was to dig it out. My little child mind couldn’t see the irony in this. My big child mind loves the concept. Remember the cartoons with portable holes for escape and entrapment? Take it with you, climb in and pull it in on yourself.
