From the exhibition, Your Current Prescription Is Due To Expire, Rogue Pop-up Gallery, Sydney Explaining to a star the limits of human love (for Michael Petchkovsky) You passed so quickly, it pulled the oxygen out of the air Drawing sorrow in behind you, like a myst Burning our lungs and causing our eyes to water We knew you were only taking the pain out And meant to return But the pain came back in without you Astonishing how much of it there was more than a man could carry And older than the life of a man Amongst those who loved you Your loneliness was legendary It warmed your company And welcomed you everywhere But when you bequeathed it to us And it became ours, We divided it like stolen treasure In phone calls and drunken stories, Binding us in its conspiracy Humans cannot bear the tenderness of stars And so we dissipate its light Refracting its ferocity into laughing crying, and complaint Until its energy sustains our life Connects us, and allows our love to Pass from human body to human body Only then returns its signal into light /MWٺZMa4MOOM_I[JWZVQV=OIVLI_PMZMPMTQ^MLNWZ\MV aMIZ[_Q\PPQ[MVOQVMMZNI\PMZ)TIVPQ[UW\PMZ2WaKMWTLMZ [Q[\MZ,IXPVMIVLaW]VOMZJZW\PMZ5QKPIMT?PMV\PMNIUQTa /MWٺZMaI\\MVLML +PIZ\MZPW][M[KPWWTQV;]ZZMa_PMZMPMUM\TQNMTWVONZQMVL )TIVIVL2WaKMLMKQLML\WUW^M\PMNIUQTa\W ;W]\P)NZQKIJ]\WVTMIZVQVOQ\_I[XW[[QJTM\WÆa\W)][\ZITQI QVWVTa\PZMMLIa[\PMQZXTIV[KPIVOML;Q`\MMVaMIZWTL /MWٺZMa_I[[MV\\WJWIZLI\/MMTWVO/ZIUUIZ0M][ML KTI[[UI\M[_MZMOTIL\W[PIZMI\]J_Q\PNMTTW_[\]LMV\+TaLM 8IKSMZ_PW_W]TLZIQ[M\PM_I\MZTM^MTKWV[QLMZIJTa 1\_I[I\JWIZLQVO[KPWWT\PI\/MWٺZMaIT[WUM\NWZUMZ TI\MZQV\ZWL]KM/MWٺZMa\WPQ[N]\]ZM_QNM=3JWZV)TM`IVLZI [KPWWT/MWٺZMa[\]LQMLMKWVWUQK[I\5MTJW]ZVM=VQ^MZ[Q\a I^QLTaZMILIVL_PWPM[I_XMZNWZUQV;aLVMaQV!
