Name of a Man

A man

gathering

who scattered

Himself into the wilderness, into abbreviation of the periodic table, into elements

decadence

of alter egos

like smoke, like pillow feathers…

Without a cheek, without a face, a heart name unknown

lost, betrayed by his own hand,

shorn, scourged, delivered into slavery,

for 30 scudi, Judas

for a little Ag of the earth clay:

"I do not know this man!" with a “Friend!”

while looking in the mirror of the eye

Sky

without sorrow reflecting meaning, having mercy, not repenting the not knowing but sensing it…

self name calling

.

before the tree...

.

before dissipating into splinters…

Rebellion: "not I"

Bloodless

Without a grave

Without a tombstone ingraved

Before the transfiguration

Runing scattered…

.

Because

.

The transfiguration must certainly be

From the cocoon of death

The solidification,

Or disillusioning dissolution, blurr…

Body of universe

Being that Is

in everyone, is

everyone and every non
