Everything known
is in the room
beyond. This side
of the wall the
peacocks dance.
Finding the way
be-
tween is only
/ part of the
journey. The
rest is
recognizing
landmarks that are
/ not familiar. For
the well-versed
traveler
spheres are
a remedy for the
seasickness that
floats beside
them.
It was then that we
arrived, too late
to influence, but not
too late to interfere.
The world which
we see
clearly
is the curtain
in front
of
the
world which
Magritte clearly sees.
The
Companions
of Fear are
to be
found
at the
top of a
mountain.
Fear is
some-

below.
Only
her euphonium
kept her afloat.
All I
could offer him
was
water &
bread. But we
are good
friends, & I
forgive him
for walking out
on me.
The curtains
drawn. Same
thing on both.
Sky. The sky.
Neither is.
Images &
things you can't
look in-
to. Gödel
again. The
absolute is so
uncertain. But
I have just killed
a small flying
thing that
landed on this
reproduction
in my Magritte
book & it is
now absolute-
ly dead.
Glaciers flow
out of the
painting. The
mountain is
an eagle that
does not leave
the ground.
Gödel once
more. If a
forest is cut down
so that only
a single tree
remains, is
the forest still
part of the set
of forests? Let's
ask the people
living inside
the tree &
see what they
have to say.
There's a light on.
Not enough to hear
the words. Had to see
how the mouth
curved around
them, how far the
tongue came forward,
how heavily the teeth
bit down. Only then
could he under-
stand their intent.
