Karl,

In a certain way, the work has been eclipsed. Or rather, the eclipse has become the arc of the work.

Forgive my week of silence; I am used to choosing my words, but last week I felt as if I were in the middle of some terrible forced obscurity.  I keep expecting it to vanish, for my body to re-member itself, to disavow what it has learned.

Se souvenir. The remnant “to come” hidden within the body of the word.

Small deaths abound.

I will write more when words return.

M.
