A THROW OF SQUARES
SONJA JANKOV
against imitation but by analogy. - Jacques Derrida
cover image: s-catfish walks into poincaré pancake by bojan mišić © 2009
Thanks to James, Andrew, Gabor, Federico, Teresa, Vladimir, Zoran, Bojana, Željko, Ana, Larissa, Sonja, Branislav, Vlada, Vida, Mladen and all those friends without whom I would forget that I’ve ever been writing these squares.
Abbozzo was firstly published in Berkeley Poetry Review Issue 41, 2010 Several sonnets were appropriated and presented in Shock Gallery in Novi Sad, as interventions on the gallery walls, December 2012

rendering of squares
line was the layer for him. again. words are few. layerings too. ‘images of...’ [unframed.] ‘alone gone.’ being not only the traces of their own artistic action. who is there, inside the second square[,] from the left[,] in the third row[,] from the bottom, in adrian piper’s here and now? without any subtitles that are those looks we don’t dare to take. screening of child’s bicycle passing[.] in front of the black and white stripes becoming a framed piece of conversation in the second part of a tram. going away[,] from cameras with wide angle lens[,] to slow motion. taking nozzled mechanic camera thirty six years old at the same distances in the city as are those of industrially placed holes at a venetian blind making the outer air to appear brighter than it could be, ‘besides the typographic screens of, hithim&thithering screens of…night!’
un coup de cercles
in order to be abyssal, the smallest circle must inscribe in itself the figure of the largest. -
Jacques Derrida, The Truth in Painting
outspoken poppy & soporific polemic over pop position of its portrait postulate hoisted by fork overshadowed, overseen, going on optically, the port of portfolio posing on the post-box preconceived in poem polyphonic spigot points soprano the pole of its hoar modal notion over overrun ozone portal obstacle outshining the locomotion of iodine logic one-sided journal overcasts nought loaded Kodak, knot is rolled pondering lode star
matutinal stereopticon
, to start with the second part coming up to us , nearer to memory, paper, eyes, that window , this time of the movie that covers the pupils , only obliquely while caution accepts it silently , not disregarding the humanity of movements , modern humanity of lightened surfaces' play , that divides the rectangle in ten equal pieces , presenting a white anatomy of spacious wall , making all movements behind glasses neutral , behind co[m]mas, figures, automobiles, prams , proclaims, [bi]cycles, cross-roads, handlings , lines, hospitals, passages, noises, voices, dots , roentgen rays, files, abstractions, days, hands , trams, tears, tea, implications, unnecessaries
equinox
have you ever felt being in between time periods, “embedded within the virtual structure” where each visual actualization signifies differentiation, creation? being in those uncategorised eight minutes between equally lasting day and night in march, called astronomical reflection, maybe only referring to remains of “pure opticality.” realising that each of three durations [blue] [yellow] [red] is un réalisme artificial, while you’re mapping its absence from the black screen and the negative of a photography uploaded – its continuous tone stating the poetic imperative over digital material, generated from code. changing the direction of looking for twenty degrees: the possible new vision included in the animate potential of a digitally constructed entity, the double exposure of an iron bridge - schémas visuels
in sequencing and duration. still, all of these are just the first few seconds of eight minutes, even when a new medium of formal expression would appear each time the code is translated. the rest is all achromatism - between jean loup sieff’s portrait of nureyev and dino pedriali’s. the first one captures the eyes, direct look and hands surfacing the first plan, probably from the stairs of the opera house, clear in front of large panel beside them: the image, virtual as “a description of language, as a tendency toward expression.” pedriali brings out only his face, hair unseen under a white towel, pupils absently confronting the floor, tiredness detouring an adjusted camera, instead of the portrayed one: it is between those two images, for eight minutes, where the virtual is “becoming-other,” describing the process of self-differentiation, his or yours.
correspondence with poincaré’s geometric technique
on the phrasal screen there are pasted only fragments of (h..) roundness, nouns constellated & made visible by shadowed (skin) sand dune – the rest, predicated, in dimension out of procedure, moving by the same (steps) winds until the exposure closes & background light throws our flat silhouettes over framed measurable space of conditional tense & the arrangement of knowledge it uses about “self” that doesn’t seem to affect any other case space, “sparematically logoical” as ours
perfectly screened bachelors non-interpretative, all hooked on ribs of visual ego
mondrian avenue
simulating, ante merīdiem, the segmentation of consonants within a new language, as modifiers of shadows in an unseen directly, distant city – for how long do they fall before being f[r]act[ured] over façades, newspaper automats; pasted, unabsorbed, cut between walkers’ steps: the place of these overlapping events defined by quotation lines (as simple as those forums for new dance – completely monochrome), op-
pressed as blackened space between columns mirroring a precise mechanism of proportions in uniting time of rearrangements and though included dans le nombre dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;or whose new mode of use is to frame non-time spent in writing and to high-darken even more fixed, functional crossing of â&#x20AC;&#x153;&â&#x20AC;? - particularly those right angles behind or along strait blank lines, for most of times felt as verses (taking not only the course of breakings / before the next vertical, but of roundness illustrating the unrealism of absolute black) and mapping the number of corners / slashed by streets whose auto-poeticism is habitually mistaken with unrevealed ( ) instrumentality
shadows of chronophotographic resistance
under a white umbrella. [sunshade?] delineated profile of the visible, on its outside, extensive towards an elliptic term. the same tone, littoral, from one edge, oscillates (in times) between chin & shoulders, 2nd ending indistinctively in the shape of ‘threading suns’ – each hair’s ray leaving on the nylon surface a negative of sun’s, among which 1 splits quarterly across a fork: static by meat, 1 trebly, no, trilaterally in concentricities of eye circles, 1 doubly over an ellipsoidal glass edge [if cinéseen diagonally], 1 hundred&once over each graphic sign within the last joyce’s thunderword, when density of the alphabet’s blackness starts to reflect more light than paper’s pliable whiteness / & each of letters becomes broken, forced frame for fragmented light-grey surface – unwritten all over – empty – aesthetically disregarded: unnecessary: basic “: silence:” plain: the same: uncopied ::
rainy syntax of umbrella’s mirror
so many things i’ve never asked you – is “finita la commedia” quoted from Hero of Our Time, having or not its answer in Stephen Hero; is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas on the syllabus since there is only one fulllength version of the film on youtube containing simultaneous translation into Czech; what if that “without arrhythmic changes in the amplitude” beginning of a poem is analogue to description of a sea at the opening of one of Le Voyageur’s paragraphs & the one with Cézanne’s words ≈ The Truth in Painting… nevertheless, the first days of March are always marked by empties, sometimes finishing with a dinner, wine, whose departure?, surrounded by large paintings & comments in Greek, each predicament resisting the night, binding up senses, making them focused in deliberate attempts to perceive all differences maybe for some of unarticulated lines always left for later, as everlasting Rome, never knowing how many breaths might we have between “the unvoiced” & “voiceless.”
common “autobiographicalness”
auto-portrait of a blind. written. starting with question. or anti-portrait. within disconnections of amnesia. sorrow¿ apology lost. all until his voice started dying i[an echo of its words. a portrait by invisible him / of unseen her. re]written. across the blind drawing of “cathedral”: the last narrative in the collection introduced by the same word. dis²appearing beneath the fingertips. appearing in altitudes of lateral windows, having unequal depth & dimensions as le corbusier’s poetry of surfaces, that sometimes meet in the same angle as those graphic sounds of apollinaire’s megaphone or of those in 116 65, R CZ causing this town to seem even more extensive in its internals that reflect portraits invisible through windows of a tram: lost graphic signs: stringed between seeing and reading.
their descending
long descending overwhelmed the ringing of ice cubes’ leaps □ ▫ each grazed at different corner that still redirected light during eye blinks between frames which would [n’t] include southern part of the town visible only from train while departing, leaving - how come we haven’t seen it before, those posters, while going north through trieste contain, the same irregularities in clasping of edges like these buildings; the tram went only till that place where we’re descending via duchamp’s fragments of the sight, capturing with ours the yellow-orange glare of night sky on rained domes, that seemed familiar to them also, with no parallels to moon, taxi cars or metro ticket unseen in sections of a dream through photography’s binaries of a lift with opened ropes & us, below, in a cube, elongated
poetry of hidden looks
but the discourse must go on. so one invents obscurities. rhetoric. - Samuel Beckett, The Unnamable
I carefully & without estimating graphs of shadow’s remoteness from the thigh, &ocrine engraphies of sliced screen where becomes visible shadow thrown by pigeon-blue shoulder–blades lapsing from the eye–lashes & coming illuminated by catalogue of photographs at the wall while brightening a day in March [being then completely mad]1: makes the sound of her words more realistic: Imgard and Zifrid, yes, Pictures from Exhibition… disappearing as the usual steps at pedestrians’ crossing from [so m]any years ago half between meeting & leaving towards many-windowed wall that while reflecting light underlined the sound passing about her footpaces & a distant Norwegian landscape: turning her step azure, now, [sp]reading towards a covered screen at night in an empty hospital room with neon lights turned off & Godard’s poetry pervading hers with graphic resonances: out of these windows, further down the streets, until the place near Hamburg where Einstein crosses Labe in only 3 sentences

II by surface. like being of erin green hart. developing agent like menthol in colour sensitometry. being of looking whose only negative thought & appearance exists as a folding in the glass of camera obscura & then he sees in 5 minutes in a distant past tense how ‘d’ didn’t fix washing machine for a printer did[n’t] accelerate up to two lines/second of hamlet machine & when king steps between don carlos & the mask testing this blue camera for seeing portraits implicitly dividing < left from > right side & any event now is[n’t] more/less than any slide-show projection on a screen, unconnected with that printer starting: kortet gäller 72 timmar från påstämplad tid för resor inom Stockholms län enlight SLs taxebestämmelser.

IV curtailed edges of ice cubes spreading across the table having the rhythm of un coup de dés jamais n’abolira le hasard, parallel to snowy, folding up sentences that appear by punctuation within those same margins of a page and one dot turning them into two-dimensional automobile lights at night. while passing over a bridge. flat. white. with vertical holders, uprising in a strait ┴ angle. carrier[s] of erasmus’ bridge in rotterdam - leaning, / joining [\], & while crossing it, he perceived his reflection below. [maybe.]: - ∞ < x < ∞ who’d know. to create all possible ways. till the last: № 333, or since then, since the first moment and breath, nerve impulse that brain, with limited presence of oxygen, receives being exposed to the neon light somewhere all around
WHITE LETTERS
this great, tragic playwright of classical Greece writes in poetic form the need to keep a ‘light sensitive substance in a dark room,’ in his poem Trachinierinnen. -
J.M. Eder, History of Photography
without ultra-marine walls for Baudelaire’s conscious kaleidoscope and unrevealed film, in all senses of the line, a dot thus comprehends sonnet. the sleepbeats of white strokes over newspapers at 5, rue de Thorigny, 75003 as those questions one didn’t ask about Pedriali’s exhibition at Galleria Foro Traiano 1 a Roma that was open only after half past ten pm while the last bus was about to leave, long-playing steps as indents revealed by obscuration as all those possible small cylinders hidden
ON BLACK BACKGROUND
in letters of a ticket, the left cut of frame leaves ‘ncorde’ part of poster: if a factor name for 1024 is yotta, for 1021: zetta, 1018: exa, 10-2: centi, 10-12: pico, 10-21: zepto and for 10-24: yocto, i don’t know to tell in what proportion would be all those black printed words that are so obviously missing at the photography of his walking down the street, only black shoes seen against the stone cubes of a footpath’s base materialism, exhibit bene: without Warhol’s green sunglasses with golden frames,
some punctuation in past time within the horizontality of a term discussed looking at Centre Pompidou from distance and not entering it even during the ‘white nights’ cinema cities thrown all over and differently sized plates placed as Duchamp’s kinetic poems s;i;t;t;i;n;g on flashing / negative images of a chair falling separated by few minutes of blank screen d’r’e’a’m’i’n’g or a fragment of text covered with electric hoar "%H%einz %c%ans %e%verywhere"(FW 581.5) where each 0 and 0 speaks of lode star and the silent logic of Kodak iodine journal speckled by empty lens without scope of phony reasons and landscaping pauses.

after Hundertwasser
space between fingers drawn to left by perspective, a part functioning as divider, soft instrument measuring how many heart blinks does it take before a frozen button automatically responds to it, face-to-face. red logic signalling the popstmodern swiftian turn: “if you have no coloured fingernails, your hands should be cut off” while the redundancy of its opposed on-off positions is reduced by inner mechanism - maybe analogue to design of purposeless memory pieces in one’s mind [would the whole process collapse if those are not filled with anything] otherwise, but only interiorised, it should be crutched constantly by sights like this one, bound along those pink “concrete/ metal” specifications within technical drawing and pietro spica’s stylised,
but obviously organic forms, painted in fading surfaces stripes with intensive purple peaks as if coming near/into centres of circles spheres; ; she sees almost nothing at all; ; the whole painting based on cold-warm contrast, but here outside the sky is covered in grey and black buildings, portuguese guitar tones from the (maybe) second floor attracting the sight in its deviation to a few white numbers on concrete on right; sixty five years ago, as abstract as equitation the teacher was writing on a board were books pencil ribbon, having only dirt under nails and the hole on a sleeve - the look fixed (takes words) - just because her mother told her to pay attention, for that is what should be done in school. all the algebra successions not only an image
that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave a child amazed, but the absence of anything lookable at allâ&#x20AC;Ś there is left only a moment that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be contained in any of recordable forms: not to be [a]parted away. the shadow of trumpeted profile intersected by blue keys and few rachmaninoff scales, a swing in a park, the symmetry of its holder never to be framed in motion. seeing own feet at the top of a tree in front (how many flags contain stars) the sky not as high as horizontal metal bar when the possible act is highlighted in presupposed broken chain [anterior to pragmatic reasoning] it is photographically natural to be aware of yourself, of an image unrecognised by others [and the sky and the woke birds are
switching like tact of camera shots, opening-closing of yellow refrigerator during the year all of you shared an apartment in berlin] and the line of building roofs turrets pulsing like blinking reflex while looking up into the rain or coloured afterpulse after gazing at throbbing light (the forehear of people not passed yet). streets illuminated by interior lights, shop-windows asking at what point would highly enlarged photography represent technique of tone development on a surface [veiling the ego] since building in horizontal is much more difficult than building vertically. liège-guillemins station accompanying the new era of rail travel, its roof sheltering five platforms [using a construction technique developed to reduce disturbance to the active train traffic bellow]
which of all architect’s work celebrates a movement the most: façadeless structure frames the city laid before it that (by the scaffold bearing more frames than train windows) is more visible in this envelope; description of non-existence of postcards from which one could never see the emergency exit flashing above inwardopening doors (at least they are not wooden like london metro) or “psychology of suicides” by the toilet seat (the line of unsafeness [when it breaks there can be some comfort in silence]) unspoken swamps of fear while loosing their gravity, re-surfing the eye in the same way a film was projected over the open concert piano, wondering whether is there still something rotten in the country that produces coins with hearts
topical recursion
realising at ð & of ð day that it was composed like mimmo paladino’s carte siciliane [1998, mm 980 x 720] acquaforte a 8 colori su 3 lastre, insetti incisi su lastra di magnesio. ð morning – circled, spreading its radius from invisible centre: from somewhere inside: felt: by awareness: Ømm 1220 acquforte a 1 colore su fondo serigrafico a 5 colori. ð rest of ð day consisted of being at 5 locations: each of them intersected by a card differently coloured. paper with ð seal from post-office used for packing present: ð curve of letters surrounding ð seal vaguely like one at ð stamp with
reproduction of Veličković’s graphic. the whole process of memories: timeless narrations without negative catharsis contained within those few moments of choosing ð object that will change its position becoming quoted between his hands in ð evening. seeing it in ð shadow of his figure [lighter than darkness of magnesium], cubic twinings box made of tin: thé aromatisé au caramel et au miel (why in french? from all things? Have not noticed it). entering ð next room: staircase leading somewhere else, blurred with darkness.
after rainer maria rilke & mimmo paladino
passing beside someone who touched the part of a piano, broken piano, is to hear me. passing beside someone who stopped by the sail attached to a mizenmast, broken mizenmast, is to throw shadow over me. passing beside someone who photographed people crossing over the bridge, broken bridge, is to walk over me. passing beside someone who is broken down is to see nothing of me.
a repetitive energy of disappearing
1938 OLYMPIA, part one: fest der völker 3,269 m, part two: fest der schönheit 2,712 m becomes gone, gone, gone played by miles, & echoing ‘arivederla’ like the light from l.a. f.o.l.i.e. turning into sheet lighting [coming in flashes of diffused brightness] and flowerhead women within whiteness of sand embracing soft instruments, becoming cellist and pianist storiella as she is syung about fishermen, strawberry and devil crab being ten minutes older now, when dante chooses to be before &ed lobster [re]written during the 38th Twelve’s Night until George Brecht’s 1961 word event coloured like Elisabeth Arden’s mountain grape shadow, like ocean’s surface: dark wine brown and purple where (their) his wake is appearing left to be followed in
“y is unspeakable <indicible>”
“…more beautiful than lightning that soils white glass of your blood.” innumeracy was encircled by refutation. by silence, equivalence, variability that couldn’t be concerned only with the possibility of alternation. attending it[.] is like seeing “the linguistic coding of conspicuous, powerful and expressive frames developed after the pattern of a draughtsman’s sharp handwriting,” like reading about an image of her hand rising and the ring reaching light from the star and giving it to eyes of dying Virgil (Broch uses this meaning of logos and so does he, succeeding), searching for existence of characters in words that describe their lives presented in negative actions, absences, incomplete circuits of narratives (coming from
some of the following texts[?]), their expressions in unsaid, unwritten meanings coordinated by spoken phonetic binaries. the drawn spontaneous note about the works that [c]ould be submitted until the 15th November. Marlborough, London, circled with red within a graphic at one of those three solo exhibitions one has attended, the first one saw only for once (one watermark was left unnoticed), last year one of the exhibitions was held in Lisbon, Galey Antonio at the same time while talking about the 1909, still rural, unindustrialised, Italy: being invited to later, via posta prioritaria. innumerable drops â&#x20AC;&#x153;[â&#x20AC;Ś] with mouth soiled with last starsâ&#x20AC;?
snapshot XXIII seagull white
the lack of her voice captured within those white benches that are riving the salmon of autumn trees, the stars windowed at Mont Saint Michel under snow, angles wider than those in marble of Oslo Opera House while Ennio Calabria’s sight becomes acrylic, liquid, like the movements made by woman of rainy antlers at the island built of stones those Perast locals kept putting into sea to have a pedestal for a church called Lady of Škrpljel, the same as the icon, placed there, needle-worked with one’s own hair that kept becoming
more and more grey while the years went by and there was no sight of her husband’s ship at the open sea: the sea illuminated with the shine of rosemary leaf and the reflection of St. Peter’s Basilica’s dome, as Michelangelo wanted it to appear while you’re approaching it from the square: André Breton could see it from his terrace, the poet said, as Ravel could see the reflection of the piano in his cat’s coat, retained, not in the eyes, but in its fur [it is less sharp in its artistry] and while the edge of one yacht’s sail meets the edge of dark Copenhagen Royal Library he will open his eyes and wish her a good morning over again
diptych: rodin
a figure of man surrounded by emptiness, falling under white reflector light and dancing no longer alighieri’s inferno: seen from left by august strindberg’s photographer (who considered the whole world to be inversed): at the beginning of colorimeter: window as content/context machine that renders mutable object itself (remembering the third side of the wall [in photography]); once the lyrical voice defined one place to be where “I overdose on jasmine tea and moon cakes.” now, missing punctuality, one step in stasis prolonging a pause; compressed perspective
in quoted detail from snapshot no. 27 with ›open angle‹ 46° - 220° and seeing the wideness[less] of titus andronicus’ april earth. one lightning fractured from a play about jupiter in notre dame: all portraits as they’re painted by h. bosch instead by hugo: ending the passage with kaleidoscope: ending his album with 143.3-28 9th picture: seven rainbow girls whose answer is “a callideorscape,” looking Loie Fuller’s experimental dance where fourteen electricians were needed, ‘directed by means of gestures, taps of her heal and other signals worked out between them’ still.
silent note
after Rachmaninoff’s Wake by Maja Solar
& occasional letters that drizzle throughout the whiteness of paper by splashing tears of era, unspoken under the mistaken silence of ‘one eyegonblack’ & its unseen complementarity of black pupil and fine rice-like tear [maybe for flying][;] before the morning had drawn it – could you, please, cut a piano by its keys? & wake the blinking of stars, wake the change in frequencies of their sound & light, move forward, [you,] a dipper affected by inexperienced dapple[!] having a forgotten smiling voice that was invented by the same thought as banana cream, as its lightness, [as without comparison, as without binary, as without as,] by eyelids like an ash, as those the poet fell in love with, suspecting that by their movement the star gave its last gasp. come back another dying note played in loneliness yesterday
blindness and insight
like so many years ago, when films were made outside, among ruins from the war, the very same ruins that could be seen later through the back window of w. wenders’ 1986 car, behind one whose ¾ portrait is seen on the left, black & white, [through another part of the film roll only ¼ from behind while sitting in the back of a bus,] but, earlier than wenders, cameras didn’t have auto-return mirrors, like it is in the case of ‘abstracted from time & space. self.’ although their selenium cell exposure meters produced their own electricity in the same way[.] like little solar cells. usually 10 x 30 mm large, having plastic lens that would concentrate the light on them. those were even smaller. like this. selenium as heliotrope, [but] degrades with sunlight. “abstract” photographs. any black & w. unseeingly perceptible by eyes.

longer developed time by purpose of achieving higher contrast of negative >departures inverted > when the light at [un]known station is so strong that makes the outer line of your elbow invisible. a black stripe over a blind word in a piece of newspapers on the floor rotating in back under an arch while you’re leaving. an unrelated consciousness for extensiveness predetermining each one’s pre-cognitive relationship with the image. (can’t be the same for octopuses. changing colours like fireworks seen through round window of ‘rygerfjord’ nearby söder mälarstrand kajplats 12, 118 25 stockholm sweden.) longer time taken for coming from station by purpose of adjusting to the higher contrast of coming room’s emptiness vs. that hour spent in train. shadowy / vague visual memories 12cm behind legs of people walking to the next side of the street. as a flash of piano keys glanced while entering
reflexivity of the line itself
skyscrapers are our streets. said the poet. they are bases for our feet while moving the anatomy of our dance. becoming static to change the type of movement in front of the cube placed on the top: beneath the stars. lying on one angle: spreading three of them into different sides of the city. each of these sides unfinished: the inside filled with seats following the diagonal line: facing the opposed screen. the cubic form finished in glass. transparent between the auditorium & the stars: look, still, fixed horizontally to the screen. coming to the end of the tape: the end of the street, we realize that some others also end in this form. differently coloured surface-compositions on [shut down] screens. thrown: the dice indicate cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfinishness equivalent to our dance & prolonged looking.

to spend the night in a thought. once i have done that, i’ll know something its originator never dreamt of. W. Benjamin, June 1928
