in the body / of the body


Thus, perturbations of matter.
Thus, deformations form.
Things / Beasts emergent.

Shadows in some sense

Lit within

Finite, putty like,
Though


           __________



in the mind / of the mind


an effaced so quickened,
so open, so bright

//

Beast, there are more
than one thousand things.

strings             vibrations
out of darkness
strings      pitch      light

//

All along we've been uncertain,
now we see electrons


           __________



in the body / of the mind

a totem of pudding,
totemic of

The beast is all these things
, none
, more
, rising.
Known
, and so all the more frightening


           __________



in the mind / of the body


not a / body
anumber of / withoutward of

infinite and infinite

shadows // in some sense
lit withoutward
