Try to describe X
in terms of B:
the ant-hill
is wider than the light,
& the light sags
like a worm draped
over finger, like a heavenly
body; the worm
is more rough than antler,
than cicada shell, than butterfly
antennae, & the antennae
float like cocoons decomposing.
It will all decompose,
factored into the infinite.
We initiates, we
scribble that history.
P.S. Check the hidden drawers.
