When the word wants to be a thing

Gigi set me straight -- you can't make words out of honey. It's too literal. You can have the two things next to each other, text on one wall, honey on the other (say, it's a corner and the two walls meet).

* Light going through perforations
* powder sifts from wall to floor, people leave footprints (trace)
* words are visible, but just barely; what if the words were powdery, as with chalk
* threads connecting
* representation of the thing (transfer on the wall) becomes thing (sewing patterns) <> or take the representations further, e.g. photographs of the wall transfers, projected onto a mirror
* chaos interspersed with moments of coherence
* words hidden except for moments of disclosure
