The smothered lights.

Draw the following shadows

The surrounding area, the overcome walls
Poor needy lands without dignity
Stopped times, or slowly driven clocks
Fine traces,
Strong signs.
Feathery, unspecified images, as real as ghosts,
Organic geometry.
A dawn for nightmares
Moist melancholies.

These lights epitomise:

Signs, milestones, teasels, mosaics, palm trees and crosses,
Heated crosswords,
Cooled atmospheres,
Forbidden dances,
Awakened perfumes,
Frozen covens
True fiction,
Eyes that make intelligence nervous.

The smothered lights.

The palette filled with grey,
The disorganised rainbow of white.

Pello Pagola
April 1978.

In search of one’s own intricacies, dressing pictures up with images, it’s difficult to express words.
Throwing light on one’s own shadows, casting shade on one’s own lights.
Recalling the forgotten.
