i will build a bridge from me to you through meaning. the bridge is like a pipe. here is my vocabulary.
to repair:
to restore or renew by any process of making good.
to remedy, to make good, to make up for.
to make amends for.
amend:
to alter, modify;
to add or subtract from.
leak:
any means of unintended entrance or escape;
an unintended opening through something;
to allow to become known;
to leak out.
hole:
a hollow place in a solid body.
hollow:
hungry, having an empty feeling.
solid:
whole or entire, without separation or division;
without openings or breaks;
having the interior filled up all the way.
interior:
being within;
inside of anything;
internal;

further toward the center.
something in the center of me is empty, hungry; a place where things can escape, can enter, accidentally. something needs to be changed, to be made good again. i need to go within, further towards the center, to the shadows to the void to the potential of things.
language curves and folds like a rope that carries or hangs and is misunderstood. it binds and gives rescue, it saves me. causing me to cohere, to hold fast. undo these ropes these bonds these tangled webs of hair and matt and cloth and grass. undo the mud undo the turning and the twinning. let me see the fibers as they are, as they grow. right out of the ground. then cause me to cohere again to come together righted. let me understand the message in these things, these twirling strands of meaning. unlock them.
wrap me up in swaddling clothes wrap me up in language let it be like a ship that sails at dawn and anchors down deeply on the right shore my destination. show me the way home.
to pipe: to convey, to carry or bring from one place to another.
how can i carry myself from me to you? these are the questions to be asked.
i am counting on god to interfere.
to count:
to check over one by one
to list or name
to consider or regard
to have worth
to include
