would go to sleep in the abaton
"not to be stepped into"
"impassable"
to dream of Asklepios
who would reveal the remedy
or the dream itself could cure
I side with opacity
because it's in the dark something changes
and we never see it
Etel Adnan from Beirut writes that she has never seen war
They say healing needs witnesses
a patient, reintegration into community
but mystery requires darkness
(No one young can see how / opacity lends protection not risk)
I don't think we see healing
as we don't see a child growing every day
our bodies do not tell stories but enlist them travel them become subject to
[It’s because I’m not a subject I light out
our bodies prepare for future bodies
at every moment repairing aligning acting interpreting
for plants it is always night
"I passed cancer two years ago"
In Greek the idiom is chronologic rather than victorious
Healing takes place in the impasse / the sickness passes
Time is a living being
