Argo
Spier has worked together with Belgian graphic artist AVK on a series
of expressions. It attempted to combine word and picture, ear and
eye in the dialectical relationship between hearing and seeing,
voice and sight.
These
happenings combined utterances and visual expression.

Aion
Speculations
A river
rears up
or
lies slack
lifeless flat
an
animal
lives now
or
flies
time
is a line
or
seven
a circle
|
|
strange
coordinates
Between the paths
of ill-starred planets I
as
on earth
tried to lay coördinates
find
a corner a plain
squinting at the sun
but
the world was born yesterday
and the crayfish has left
[more
still
a corner was a line
and
a degree a street]
|
|
another
degree
Just like now
[in this saddled year of the horse]
there is
on a different latitude
a whinnying
moment
a sign
of a different colour
|
|
against
the inner wall of the crack
Falling
falling
[against
the inner wall of the crack]
the
falling rock grasps
more rock
a
crashing mass
imploding
gripping
a
moment more
then the crashing cautious earth

the
arrival of Ohrmazd and Ahriman
The 12
of the zodiac
hang
like a sign
[a
canvas
or a banner]
in
front of the sun
the twin spirit
[good
and evil]
appears
like light
in
the blinding
[this
is zurvan akarana]

déja
vu
The time grew heavy
in the distance the point
the narrowing tube
or the flame
a
shining monolith chilling
in
the shadow-circle
the wild dog
awaiting
canus
lupus:
vulture or wolf dog
and the star constellation
with the number 58
|
|
plants
that spout on juice
Plants that live off juice
are the softest of them all
like
the haystack in the wind
the flapping rose
like
the workers
who reproduce like shoots
like
the pollen carriers
with their antennae
|
|
Kalpas
The ending
time
grows
at moments suddenly
a
shooting branch
from eternity
only
to show its head
a cunning fox
coming
from its den
the nest
at
the beginning
[I
was an ant
and stripe-faced tiger]

the
appearance of Karios
And that was a time
and times
and half a time
then
the appearance
of the wolf
that
was a time
and times
and half a time
his
sign eclipsed the sun
till daylight broke through
that
was a time
and times
and half a time
then
the wolf was gone
and
that was a time
and times
and half a time
the
daylight remained
till the fall of night
and
that was a time
and times
and half a time
then
there was no sign
anymore
