Lost and Found Star-scape

Work wolds in the rhizome, even now, expand ever-outward. It's growing and multiplying with exponential connections. Hang on.

Truth

I cannot help remembering a remark of De Casseres. It was over the wine in Mouquin's. Said he: "The profoundest instinct in man is to war against the truth; that is, against the Real. He shuns facts from his infancy. His life is a perpetual evasion. Miracle, chimera and to-morrow keep him alive. He lives on fiction and myth. It is the Lie that makes him free. Animals alone are given the privilege of lifting the veil of Isis; men dare not. The animal, awake, has no fictional escape from the Real because he has no imagination. Man, awake, is compelled to seek a perpetual escape into Hope, Belief, Fable, Art, God, Socialism, Immortality, Alcohol, Love. From Medusa-Truth he makes an appeal to Maya-Lie."

—Jack London, The Mutiny of the Elsinore

Tides Turn

Moth-wing,
tender leaf,
hearts-sound-
barrier breaks,
light quakes,
dark Pacific
to high Blues
boulder to pearl
dirt to diamond
ashes to empire
it turns,
star-seeded.
