“It is another of the miraculous things about mankind that there is no pain nor passion that does not radiate to the ends of the earth. Let a man in a garret but burn with enough intensity and he will set fire to the world.”

- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Ferrofluid sculpture

Ferrofluids are created when nanoparticles of iron compounds (magnetite, hematite, or similar) are suspended in a colloidal solution of water, oil and surfactant (citric acid, soy lecithin or similar). As a result of their iron compounds, ferrofluids can be manipulated into a “fluid-solid” using magnetic fields.

Rachel Zucker, "The Dread of the Power of the Instincts"

The good enough mother dreams of arson
and writes: “noodles: please warm.”

The listening device insists but the child, coughing,
doesn’t cry—shifts, shifts, turns over.

On the ultrasound-scan I looked porous: sponge
around the blinking fact of fetus and am still unfinished.

To say the form is organic is to say nothing.
This suffering, boredom.

A flawless beauty this nurture cuts and how the good enough
mother smoothes and files her patience.

How perfect, look, long suffering they say, and know nothing.

Kindle, smolder, flame, consume. Kindle, smolder, use.
I put out hors d’oeuvres, some of them half-frozen.

“

Like a belated gift,
Winter’s palpable to me:
and I’m in love with
it’s first uncertain sweep.

It’s terror’s beautiful,
like the start of what’s dreadful:
even the ravens fearful
of its leafless circle.

But most intense, fragile –
is its bulging blueness:
half-formed ice, that fills
the river, lulling, sleepless…

”

“I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.”

“The word is ‘bear;’
you give and give, you empty yourself
into a child. And you survive
the automatic loss. Against inhuman landscape,
the tree remains a figure for grief; it’s form
is forced accommodation. At the grave,
it is the woman, isn’t it, who bends,
the spear useless beside her.”

- Louise Glück, from “Autumnal”
