Abstract

This collection of twenty-five poems and three short stories is an attempt by the author to explain those moments when time and traditional reality become distorted. In those short periods of fast blood and terrible recognition the "real" reality is found because only then does life with all its quickening possibilities appear. In between those occurrences we are forced to face a sometimes boring and limited world. Thus, some of the other works are attempts to look ahead and behind and all around, and place the author in the world. That "world" can be any world because there are many, just as there are many realities.
