A roof in its building is a cage in the air, enclosing aspiration with timber bars that are gold in the sun. Seen from inside it’s a web made by men for their own capture who clamber carefully across it clinging against blue where buzzards hang and seagulls call. Slowly we close it with battens and felt, hammer blows ring in the place below. Strip by strip and section by section we darken the space enclosing eventually nothing but gloom wherein lives only an echo which they will **** when they bring in possessions. Finally the grey slates, the blue and the purple sealing a tomb through which will not move the scents and the sounds of the wandering wind. Thus it is bound, that place. Cut off forever and lost to the world.

Building the Roof
