involuntary memory part IV
I certainly did enter the labyrinthine beauty of the powerful now's
palpitations; my mind a virtual instrument for the palpation of pure
presence. Funny thing this 'now', it seems tenseless but carry within
the withering ripe fruit of a bygone past and the budding seed of a
future to come. Come late summer in amber orchards the entire human
condition is revealed in the prophetic fall of an apple; but what of its
landing? This seemingly hollow thump never gets any fucking credit and
Eve's favourite for emergence from self-incurred immaturity is left on
the ground in self-fermentation: stupefied in wanton self-consciousness
we slither away from the richness of its subtractive sensibility into
self-immolation. But in this instant no such discard concerns me. My now
is within the firmament spewing snow over the deep silence of the
forest; I imagine these flakes of contingency cover the pine-trees much
like fresh, white sheets touched by starlight honour her naked curves
completely. Sometimes the most truthful unveiling is an envelopment. As
we penetrate further into the precipice of civilization this awareness
ricochets on the back of my skull and I realize that the present itself
is a ridge between revelation and concealment: this 'now' is an
investigation into the apparent contradiction and these shards of
internal time travelling track along the apex providing a limit to time
itself. Suddenly time's tides seem to have turned and finding myself in
nature is replaced with losing myself in civilization. But this voyage demands a new beginning.
