Exposed Writing

To leave a trace, is that it? To mark where you’ve been? Rather to unmark that place, to expose it. To open the trace to the wind, the air. To say, I don’t want to have been here. I wasn’t here. To say, no one wrote here, and least of all me.

I don’t want to be known for what I’ve written. Or I want to be unknown by it, all that I have written.

What might it mean to keep by gathering? What does it mean to lose?

Exposed writing. Writing to the elements. Let them read, with their neglectful reading. Let them read and not-read, both at once.
