the way out is through:
Phillip Karp

spatially separated images becoming linked by the observer

– the impossibility to hold on

innumerable waves crash upon the shore when you were not present,

petals float for a moment before they sink,

as it slips – it slips away,

finding the need to remind myself,

the way out is through
