” In the heart of the night shines the anti-glimmer – the powerful sea of all waves – of all life the sea is strong – the shadow gleams the night eats fear – the well of truth has no way out – the sea gleams with no glimmer – under the night upon the night oh clang – oh clang declang degong and boom – and clamour oh word
here we are total
inscribed in the fearless heart of the night of the flesh – and in the veins and in the nerves – of all the beasts our mothers our sisters – in the forests of our thoughts – inscribed but in living fire – eternal instantaneous – fire you tell yourself – fire you tell me – all is said but eternally
speak!”
