(Re)Arranging Fragments



Les Tarot de Marseille

Pull three paperpulp cards
and place them on the table.

LE DIABLE makes a gesture
destined to hold us here, apart.
 
The angel of LA MOUREUX
aims his arrow, drawing us together.

FORCE gets her hands dirty:
no longer a matter of gesturing

but of putting pressure on reality – 
the thumb that crushes a piece of clay.
