THE BURIED THING — (left for someone who is not yet born:1.3) a soldier from a war not yet fought — a stone that is warm for no reason — writing down a date and hiding it — at a Victorian drawing room by whatever light there is. doomed and beautiful elegiac for what is about to happen. (Hands and hole in the ground, the object about to disappear for centuries). a tilt-shift for the two-era frame, the instrument placed anachronistically. BREAK a wire humming across the frame the object in the soil; dust of centuries on a new surface, grass growing through a metal grate of the place it is buried; a bird of a species that is gone, a dog indifferent to which year, moss claiming a machine in the leaf litter. smoke from a factory and a campfire the era that will forget it. a list of dates and rules, a map drawn from memory of a future city, a child's drawing of the machine, a photograph of a building not yet designed, a scrap of a newspaper with tomorrow's date BREAK a filament bright in a machine, frost glinting on a warm engine, light bending at the edge of an arrival a last glint of metal. (time travel, buried object, elegiac, detailed:1.2) painterly illustration, layered eras in one frame.
