P. 9
Those who have dwelled in the Atacama Desert, where thorn bushes disappear, shall not find Nietzsche cataclysmic. Because Nietzsche cannot appreciate the fullness of holier things and desert moon valleys, he secretes his third treaty2 without a web of stars. He would not have found it so lonely (“oh it is lonely enough, believe me!”) 3 up there... in his virulent routine of “voluntary obscurity” surrounded by “something that conceals more than brings to light,”4 had he felt God’s wings flutter in his rebellious soul
let is think
of the altisonant spicules booming with moontale
hiking their implicit chic metres woven with manna secreting synusias from the synovial valleys
while fluvial anagrams slice their own crusts into ballads aiming
for their own milk tuft
inside the 40 aurulent deserts of Atacama
let iis think
of the subli’m.e entourage. 40 trillion fluid constellations habiéndose halladas. ellas. bellas. habidas y por haber vertiéndose in the fuse’s stupor: an ineffable tempo, flood while you tessellate into a feverish nectar: a sequined mass
within
el.ellos.ellas
