The Absolute Choreography of the Dance of the Dead

[Alan Sondheim]

The Absolute Choreography of the Dance of the Dead


[The recording that plays forever is immobilized, inert, in-subject. The 
recording that plays one/One forever.]

The body of the dancer lies supine, breathless.
The body of the dancer slipped past consciousness, immobile.
Forever, the body of the dancer, stasis of the body. Slow irrevocable 
disappearance of the softer organs of the body.
The pose in situ.

Perfect, recuperable choreography. For every death of the softer death of the 
buried body. An unalterable choreography: an uttered choreography.
For only the choreography of the dead is utterable.

And there is no other of the other of the choreography of the dead.
And there is no other choreography of the dead.
