ON EDITING

Selection begins quietly.

One thing leaves.
Another suddenly becomes louder.

Distance changes the conversation.

Empty space is rarely empty.
It points.
Occasionally corrects.

Attachment complicates matters.
Use makes its defense.
Beauty makes another.
Neither necessarily wins.

Subtlety requires absence to become obvious.
Eyes adjust quickly.
Memory won't.

Outcasts continue occupying their former position.
A brief pause.
Proportion takes over.

Finality announces itself.
