Poetry does not have an identity of its own, its praj\u00f1\u0101 and insight
\nare polyphonic, beginning in two, exerted from other objects.
\n…………….<\/span>The gods and the departed face off
\nlike the narcissus, intoning the original poem\u2019s splendor
\nand its fragrance. Tears extract themselves from polysemy,
\nelapsing and simultaneously creating their boundaries
\n…………….<\/span> and plasticity,
\nbecause the tears of poetry\u2019s minstrelsy flow from a statue,
\nwithin which flow the materials of consciousness,
\ne.g., the crystals in the nightingale\u2019s throat,
\n…………….<\/span>those tiny metals.
\nBut in rural India, why is the peacock\u2019s cry choked up,
\nwhy does the history of words again become a history of dust?<\/p>\n
