Asphyxiation

Building contrasts between the holes shaped by fists through wall cracks to finger holes in my knitted jumper- I feel hole-punched by layers and sediments, each blend of fibre becomes microscopic to a solid form, or a strangled kite: Do you know how a kite flies without breath? It makes sail in the earth, depths in oceans, drowns in vacuums.
