A place to land, to save oneself. Collect oneself and one’s own. Collect the features and all apprehension and all that can be carried through a normal life. Join together everything that is spread out and solute that is temporarily whirling around. Collect, organize, carry, put right. Fill time with prac-tical things. Protect, preserve, care for, warm. Cover and conceal. Protective covers which decrease breakage and loss of heat. Carrying takes its time – to be carried has its too. To be carried by the winds of lust, be carried in whiteness and speechlessness. Raise an obelisk and flag for confidence.
