Murat Burhanoğlu : Order of the House
at the exact moment of action,
when a foot is positioned at full arm’s length,
when a jaw sinks into the earth with that
precise tilt at the edge of the water,
when a calf stamps the ground with all its bulk,
a zone of indistinguishability appears.
a body in the present,
and the constant action of ancestors,
overlap in a form that has been pierced for
centuries,
in the unity of movement.
with this very action settled in the projection,
the distance of where to be in relation to the
other is drawn.
beings
on top of each other,
one under the other,
side by side,
in each other’s arms,
are all synonymous with survival.
fire is built by borrowing life from the other.
a dog leans to our left,
a snake coils up to our right.
