Evening.

Almond light

sharpening

"the implements of misfortune"
..."what befalls the earth
befalls the sons of the earth"
... the real
curing
inside Sophia's internment

"her headdress of dark cow horns"
as in repentance she remembers
the City of truth
inside the city of desire

and around her in the dark: estranged blood
nourishing automata:
sensing drowned
the One broken
"insofar as it is not
an object of contemplation"

inside
"the dragon...
the human amphibian...
...the lindworm...
Rome burning
in every handful of dust
it's 'texts requiring attribution to an author"
its "scientific discourses received for themselves"


"it is home no more. the life has gone out of it"
"perfumers and druggists...
mirror sellers...
florists
ivory vendors

eborarii
sellers of rings and pearls
anularii
margaritarii

goldsmiths and jewellers
and all their several skills"

their dreams unloading through the
ivory gates... "a new algebra
and a new field called continuous geometry"

.."a leader in the drive
to colonize other disciplines"

to burn what has been
on the pyre of what it thought it wanted.

**

Where time
unwinds

the
mirror's
neologisms

figure
becomes
ground

the wind
an algorythm

the sea
a point-set
in an"ahistorical
rationalism"


and there are little floral prints of linguistic automata
against the austere predicates of authenticity inside agenda:
tides of bold fonts fluffing rigid members....

ones and zero's in liminal
coherence
"a constant replacement of less intensive uses with more intensive uses.'"

("be it pleasant, be it painful... it is also burning")

...little floral prints of a vide blancheur the insatiable
INTERROGATIVE
that preens as it whores

greasing the
"knowledge myth"
in the money pit
of starwars

as ..."Beginning in the late 1920's in europe, and in the 1930's here, city planning theory began to assimilate the newer ideas on probability theory developed by physical science"


planning districts....
"slabs, towers, circles...
the appalling sameness of the
tortures of hell"


**

Walking north/northwest: round trees in
square holes

abscissas on a palimpsest
Plastic peonies
against green glass

sets of numbers
hung on sets of rhyme

A rationalist aesthetic
honed in a planning culture

walls of policy
and writs of steel

that
"harness old social forces ...and
contrive new ways to bond and guide the world."



whitewash
replaced
with acetate


"Intelligence
stealing
secrets
to understand mysteries"


the epestemic
underwriters
of unacknowledged objectives


"improving
encryption
and fiber optic
cables"

. . . walking north/northeast

plunging trees
above a line of houses

...a bed is a mirror....

char of summer
plums and red sorbet

....corporations
with the same rights
as individuals...

.(I have lived my life
as if it were punishment to breathe)


...at the lintel a soldier course

mildew on the
hose

each house a desire
inside the banality
of things...

(....We will not pay for service calls
to instruct you in the use
of your air conditioner

No pagaremos por
darle instrucciones sobre como
usar su acondicionador de aire...)

titmice
&goldfinches

emptiness,theory and rote belief

Bertalanffi
made no secret Goethe influenced his thinking.

"acknowledged
interest in what he called
'German mysticism'"

....in the image i saw clouds, dark and baffled,
covering my body as if to obscure
my soul

thought
inside "the glitter of many houses
their slant roofs against a vertical culture"

And on the wings of abactha ...
the city hardening

...slabs of red
&thickening blues...

Sammael on a batwing

two million angels
like the particulates of hell

inside "A perfect, if fallen, geometry"
of their forms...

Ahriman dancing
low on the horizon,

a single dark wing
passing between the
sun
and the wrinkled
sea.

where pearled red
evening

that has been much fingered
curls in her form
and bleeds down
"officized"
**
..
and the shades inside that scene

spoke in low tones, murmuring”

"the atoms
gamboling before my eyes... could now distinguish larger structures of manifold conformation: long rows... all twining and twisting in snake-like motion. One of the snakes had seized hold of its own tail, and the form whirled mockingly before my eyes."

And Oppenheimer, repeating again and again:

" the physicists have known sin; and
this is a knowledge which they cannot lose."

and from the aether's echoing:

"Hey, Slobo,
what's this all about? "

"Casualty Estimate 50-100 Government/Party employees. Unintended
Civilian Casualty Estimate: 250 --from Apartments in the expected blast radius."

as
in the eighth sphere...

hearts of obsidian

"dark initiates"
that would sever us
from the sun

A vacuum in the heart
where loss has kissed
the void that returns
the ideas we fill it with.
