Excerpts from "in the red" (by Rūta Kucmickas)
I began without a place, meaning: I began not at the beginning, but at the interruption, caesura, which is to say I was a zero pulled along the spine of earth by fate, illegal
energy, pure
friction, motion without gesture, sound without voice, image without subject, substance
without form.
invisible ink collapsing into resonance, vibrating upon the blurred edges of ceasing and becoming––
the zero with no edges longing for a place to land
