Letters: Reduction-Finale For Circling Moments

Gazing, Greek letters display of curious origin. Impregnation skin softly writhing aware letters Sea Alpha, Omicron, Tau, Psi, Mu, Rho, pass through all the rest and each other figure 8 Jangling in strange confronting orbits Gossamer skin flays, the letters Pulsing, transforming, letter of many letters, blur into the naked moment Peeling, ghostly skins of finest rice paper move in snapshots. Antique movie projectors of the future in gleaming metal dimensions provide the beam of data. Clear butterfly wing skins, of most delicate light composition drift away on sighing notes. Northerly pinned eyes of cartoon snakes circle round their primitive crayon bodies, snakes scattered, handfuls of straw. Ivy sneaks, moving snakelike, twisting embrace of delicate moving entwining, tiniest crimson leaves wave and cavort. I brush them with my hand, a sigh, a shudder. Rippling passes, a pleasant tremor of metaphysical nostalgia, exhaling-inhaling, large-small eyes go in tremulous quark orbits of no time. Letters-Snakes-Ivy, Changing, blue hues pass into yellow moons of eclipsing black-hole pupils. It is another,another, another, another-another, other, forgetting-remembering, passing, fading, rebounding, incoming, trailing away… Exultation of indistinct revelation. Looking, hidden information lurks in creeping shadows that run when thought over. Forearm falling trapeze into screaming meters, Terror/Enthronement beep rapidly, hyper strobes paralyzed awe droning to absurd levels. Genie teleporting snapshots poof like insane santas blasting through never-ending chimney floors. Cessation, Self, Other, Break, Form, Mystery, Spin Only can appear if vanished first, no first can be found, cannot appear to vanish. Not vanishing, so never appearing. I am back to myself, gazing at the arm. The arm, the letters, the snakes, the ivy do not contain the thing to know, they are. I can only follow and behold.
