shining upwards

shining upwards


the face in which epiphany is produced and which appeals to me, mirage
of breath, perhaps I am doing this for you, an epiphany. there is always
epiphany, talk, sleep, breath, 'a state of _phantasmic exaltation_ forms
the typical introduction of the organism from space, all breath and
exaltation.' the midst of the grasping, the organisms, saying, ending in
ellipsis ... and the exaltation of violence which makes a man, a man.
among those macroscopic moments of exaltation are emotions.

but it is this state, that of emotion and exaltation and perfect torture
and annihilation, the exaltation of love, ecriture feminin, that one ...
but the interior may be lifted into exaltation, this state, i have said to
you, this state of the organism, this epiphany when worlds ...

a temporal detumescence or slackening - an order associated, if you will,
with an end, the resulting detumescence partaking of defuge, exhaustive
ennui, out of exhaustion, out of irritation murmur, grappling with itself,
an 'awkward' tumescence ...

in yourself is a mummy-metaphor, death and detumescence already foregone,
able, unnerved, a state of _frisson,_ semi-tumescence, i want great
portents ... to establish the bulwark ... - the first word, the slight
tumescence of the cloth, of burrowing.

swollen tumescences, convexities; meniscus lenses, sinusoidal meanderings:
relationships of to the dry decathecting in the bushido zone, and
ennui, out of exhaustion and detumescence, out of irritation - and
ennui, out of exhaustion and detumescence, out of irritation murmur ...

and arousal, tumescence, distension, stretched or opened skin: upwelling
and arousal, tumescence, distension, stretched or opened skin: upwelling

detumescence of etiquette in the light of the body
and detumescence of the light

and exaltation and transcendence
and exaltation of the light

audible
and audible
