words that belong here: placemaking, commonplacing, wayfinding. linguistic anthropology, personal semiotics. black holes, moon towers, southern gothic, skin. electricity, play, belonging. irreparable damage. urgency. potency.

signals and calls. laws of gravity and mass and weight. frequencies. feathers. fever pitches. laws of magnetics — that is, undeniable pulls. drawing as in compelling. drawing as in invoking. drawing as in heaving from the depths of a well.
