MISSING INSTALLATIONS AS ONLY IMAGINED BY ME

for Ilya Kabakov 

installation in which van goghs stars over the cafe of night appear

to be made of Christmas tinsel

installation where the angels hold their breath underwater

the water rippling through a magic lantern projected toward a sistine

ceiling

installation of the red leaves whirling up

installation of a snowy summit as viewed from the baseboards

the weathervane installations where angels fly off in all directions

forgetting the message which various personages make up

the dovecote installation and paper hearts

the installation of the end of all things intercepted by

the music stands

the installation where the music stands fight to the death

in a poppy red light

the installation of the roof of Heaven and the time lapsed studio

like a time lapsed blossom presented to Emilia with a flourish

installation in which no angels are sighted, but one: the angel of

the teakettle with a slight smile, the samover rolled over on its side

the installation called a prelude to night which is like a ballet

or parts of one, or a Bach partita

seascape of Long Island 

the album of Dostoyevsky's final postcard home

Alyosha flying into the son

a flourish of fairytale trumpets from Madrid
