Snapshot to Ekphrasis – Jason Liggayu

Individual, Identical, Innumerable, for here they are. Repetition is repeating itself; repetition is reoccurring. Light is flowing down and enters its dwelling place. Air moves through to and fro, carrying away sweat and shivers. Sight shoots both ways, out to repetition and into the mind. Perception pays attention to periodicity. The construct of The Architect’s mind, a community with distinction. One buildingĀ stands in communion with the others. Down below repetition happens again, the branches and leaves follow suit. Individual. Identical. Innumerable.

One Response to Snapshot to Ekphrasis – Jason Liggayu

    This sounds really good; the strong consonance and assonance automatically raise it above regular prose, although I can’t say for sure what all of it means, nor am I certain if you are writing about one or two images. I can find both the basketball players and the building in this. The abstractions probably need something more concrete to attache to: I like the individual, identical, and innumerable, but I’d like to see it rather than be told about it. This means more concrete language. Good start.
    By the way, I love the photo of the basketball players.
