...quod nequeunt oculis rerum primordia cerni
accipe praeterea quae corpora tute necessest
confiteare esse in rebus nec posse videri
...since the beginnings of things do not appear to sight
you must also learn of bodies which you, even you,
confess are things, but which no one can see
Lucretius, De rerum natura I. 268-271
such as manuscript ⍺
o-prime:
the archetype
no one gets to see
the archetype
NO ONE
and yet
its body
sublimely dispersed
brushes against your
dying flesh
even now
