This first appeared in 1988, in Aileron. At the time I was experimenting with movement and breath and line, and wrote quite a few of these meditations in this form, some more successful than others.

where breath begins
it ends consider
light its secret
structure the sense
of limit defined
if a hand
recalls what the
eye cannot which
is the source
of remembrance one
touches more deeply
or allows itself
to be touched
a difference only
in the approach
O at the Edges 
Thanks, Robert!

I have to admit that it sounds a bit like it came from the William Shatner school of reading…

I considered your reply on the recent post of this, in which you wondered about differences in your reading, from past to present – and now I wonder.
As usual, listening while rereading resulted in closer scrutiny, and I must say your choice of photo, with both hand and Braille, is a perfect fit.

I have no recordings from back then. As far as I know, only one, a video, might exist – someone taped a reading I participated in sometime in the mid-80s. I can only hope it never surfaces. 🙂
