Song Dong, Breathing, 1996. 

Ephemeral; violence of tiananmen haunting;  breath frozen towards a trace

a man alone in front of a tank

a man prone, resistant.

Irigaray silenced (spoke) to me

Language as culture

, language as man,

he is man’s; he him man is his language towards wanting

            all as masculine except what is not, silence is also not him;

silence is not

language. It is not itself.

She is not she,                                                            her, she is

Not Him.
