An old (1973) poetograph (words and pictures working together)
\nsurfaced during the move;
\nincluding the kodalith negative for text;
\nalong with\u00a0the original 5×7 and 120 negatives;
\nstripped into that kodalith negative.
\nPrinted in a limited edition of 32;
\non silver RC paper.<\/p>\n

Spent 10 years “there.”
\nThen 30 years in Mequon.
\nNow\u2026 a month “here\u2026”
\nFeels quite disconcerting\u2026
\nyet precise.<\/p>\n

That same turn of the century mahogany camera,
\nused as a plant stand in 1973,
\nnow sits in a Germantown cold storage unit.
\nI don’t know how to let go of these things.\u00a0Who wants these things?<\/p>\n
