IV. Centuries
From the clear shatter of the ear it is
appropriate that it will not be denied.
Know thyself to be beyond denial
and beyond self. In the basilisk's
grip the tangent torture of basilica implicit.
Ranking the nameless. Scotched for the pounce
of expectation. There is no verb to express
pressure as a single action. Each aeon enacts its
own version of Acteon, or St. Catherine, or
combustion viewed in all its convexity. Rude,
slimmed out of a given grasp. Not wanting to
inspire or give back. Not to appropriate, but
spit back in the face of despoil. Peroration.
Ginocchio. Beseech the bees.
To have sucked becomes stuck
in the obverse universe of "to be" --
a sectional participation in cosmetic fire.
