for Tony Frazer
What does it mean, this form
of incredible, unlimited generosity?
that I gathered up a bunch of my things,
lying around, and made an offering.
And what does that acceptance mean?
To balance on a cusp of practice does
not just leave you nowhere, no,
but here you are: this is your family.
The later pages had not yet had enough time
to give one confidence, still wet and flexed
across the arching script. And midst the word-
blindness of type set and reset, a little to
the right and to the left, you would not be
drawn on whether those latecomers deserved
to take their place as the grand conclusion
of these aims and trajectories. So I kept my own
counsel and kept them in. Realised later the
more subtle, unremarked-upon gift – of giving
me responsibility for the final revision:
to ensure I would end by owning my vision.
