the issues are complexified
by facts i cannot go into right now.
but for an instance:
that labyrinth borges harps on about.
where what's mirrored is wilder
than the image it projects.
and at the same time every double
is as real as that which it has doubled.
because according to some other beautiful culture
there are ways
to get behind
the image
and see the image
behind the image.
my thoughts pathless,
writhing
like a tangle
of black
harp strings.
