I Work Her Letters To Break Up The Space Differently

The matrix of all earthly phenomena unfolds as a network of coordinates and fractions and multiples

Matrix machines figure with meat: matrix distills a philosophical mercury and pours the quicksilver over my queer body. Ben bodies bathe in mercury matrix body without organs. Matrix machines body archive and archival bodies pulse angles and angle grinder gods. Archival bodies grind the molten matrix of libraries. Archive bodies pulse angels and anglers gut grindcore distortions. I meet matrix figure with meat and I bisect my body into two books and two hooks, and the books hocket matrix bodies. Matrix nests and itself becomes its desert distilled mercury and I drink the mercurial desert matrix as radioactive quackery, and my jaw develops pockets of pus.

I look a certain slant of light and her light torches multiple matrix narrative. I look for the narrative she lights the lights but also her speech which spills sonata spirit. I admit a difficulty trying to integrate anarchic fragment-constellations, myth narrative, and the conversations I have with Asia, Taryn, Krystal and Ghost Christina. I either imagine myself as Igor Stravinsky’s Symphonies for Wind Instruments and I juxtapose anarchic fragments against narrative, no transition. Similarly, I work like that great juxtapose Olivier Messiaen. At other times, I desire control and complete syntactical and semantic integration of my developing variations like Pierre Boulez’s Le Marta sans maitre: all transition, all development, even if it’s a mystery to everyone but the composer. The fragment floats in my brain like ant antennae and I feel my way through the earth in the sentence fragment. I’m a brutish monolingual: I’m only a polyglot in the Finnegans Wake sense, thunderwords in a dream.

James Turrell, Dividing the Light. 2007. Dividing the Light gathers visitors in benches beneath a canopy that frames a window to the sky. At dusk and dawn a lighting program bathes the canopy in changing colors, from goldenrod to turquoise, altering the viewer’s perception of the sky. One moment it’s a dreamy lavender, another it’s a ominous table of black. A shallow pool center beneath the opening to the sky mirrors the daytime sky and reflects a dark echo f the night sky… That sounds really cool, says Asia. It goes to show you can never exhaust art, I say. There's always more mediums, more ways to explore. Art is never dead, I say. Stuff like that shouldn’t just be in art museums, says Asia. It should be in bus stops and libraries and schools. Soup kitchens. Public parks. We should be enriching our public spaces and not putting art behind a paywall, she says. Yes, you are 100 percent right, I say. Art is life and life is art. It’s human and we need to make art as community. Not think of ourselves as not artists. This is what I’m talking about when I say I am doing creative anarchy: this communal art aspect, this community art aspect, where it’s available for everyone to participate in, observe, and enjoy, I say. I hate so many public structures are ugly, says Asia. Like schools. Not just ugly: they feel and look like prison. The prison feel is on purpose, I say. Same with why military barracks look like that. It’s to train bodies and discipline them. I agree, says Asia. Art invites questions, I say. Art invites independent participation. It’s contrary to the prison-school, I say. So we change our physical structures while also shifting the non-physical ones, says Asia.

There’s a difference between boring ugly and interesting ugly, I say. Schools and prisons and office spaces are ugly boring. Interesting ugly is like those steel monstrosities by Richard Serra. I don’t think they are pretty sculptures but they are interesting. They break up the space differently. School space is uniform space, boring space, unadorned space. The right type of ugly can change the mind too. Richard Serra in the 1960s and 1970s did a whole group of sculptures based on verbs. Verbs like “to prop” and “to splash” were made into sculptures. (Another pivotal moment for Serra occurred in 1969 when he was commissioned by the artist Jasper Johns to make a splash piece in John’s studio. While Serra heated the plates to splash against the wall, he took one of the large plates and set it in the corner where it stood on its own. Serra’s break into space followed shortly after with the sculptures Strike: To Roberta and Rudy (1969-71). Serra wedged an 8 by 24-foot plate of steel into a corner and divided the room into two equal spaces. The work invited the viewer to walk around the sculpture, shifting the viewer's perception of the room as they walked. Around that time Serra wrote Verb List (1967), a list of transitive verbs (e.g. cast, roll, tear, prop, etc) which he used as directions for his sculptures. To Lift (1967) and Thirty-Five Feat of Lead Rolled Up (1968), Splash Piece (1968) and Casting (1969) were some of the action-based works with origins in the verb list. Serra used lead in many of his constructs because of its adaptability. Lead is malleable enough to be rolled, folded, ripped, and melted.) I think the results are aesthetically ugly to me, but I find it invites me into the process: I am interested in the process and that process inspires me. It inspires me to be OK making ugly things if it causes a change in perception. I get really obsessed with making my writing BEAUTIFUL, not realizing it sometimes traps me in the limitations of my own making, I say. Kids love ugly art, says Asia, so I think it could work for schools, especially if it was done in a fun absurd way, she says. I need to change my perceptions on ugly, I say. I’m too concerned with consonance in my writing but enough dissonance.

I keep on watching him until they stripped his wings and pulled up from the earth on two feet like a man (I was sharing with Doc your thoughts about me being a prophet or not and she thought you were sugar coating your answer. She wants you to be super honest! I say. What about my answer is sugar coating it? says Craig. The Bible is literally a book of people being spoken to by God. With the New Testament, we get Emmanuel, God With Us, and the priesthood of all believers. 2,000 years of Christian history has people being spoken to by God. If you were claiming to have the sole truth, I’d be hesitant. If you were getting something of this, I might hesitate a bit. If your life was being affected by this in unusual and concerning ways, I’d be concerned… but it’s not, so I’m not, says Craig)

I keep on watching him until they stripped his wings and pulled up from the earth on two feet like a man (I contemplate my history and experiences with identifying as a prophet. I honestly don't remember when I felt like a prophet or that I prophesied, but it probably closely coincided to when Christina and I started the double autobiography, or when I had my mystical-psychotic experience in college and had the Thrill In Manila experience and felt united with the none and nothing of the universe. Despite not exactly remembering, I do know my perceptions of what it means to prophesy and what it means to be a prophet has shifted – a tectonic shift Taryn tetragrammaton – significantly. Initially, my idea of prophecy would not be separated from the Christian god: this god contained the source of all prophecy. Now I would describe the source of my prophecy from myself, but not only myself, but also the network and web of my relationships: the women in my life.)

I keep on watching him until they stripped his wings and pulled up from the earth on two feet like a man (I wanted to talk to you about my relationship with God and my writing, I say to Matthew, my friend and former spiritual director. I consider my writing a gift from God, and I feel it inspired by the spirit, and in this sense, I feel my writing is of the tradition of prophecy and consider myself – not lightly – to be in the tradition of the prophets. I struggle and wrestle with my prophethood just as I struggle and wrestle with God. That’s why I felt it was important to tell you about it so I can get another perspective. I struggle with the questions, am I really a prophet, is my writing really prophetic – or even visionary or mystical. I feel ultimately my writing, my prophesying, is about the inclusive and radical love of the Godhead. I still wonder how crazy that is, I say. Wrestling with God has a long history beginning bibically with Jacob, says Matthew. And anyone who realizes they are wrestling, with God, also finds that real wrestling inevitably has painful aspect – like Jacob’s hip being put out of joint – and so, I would simply say that one who wrestles with God and recognize that they are wounded in journeying along the “prophetic” way… Again, from a biblical perspective, all the prophets had “baggage” and “wounds” as most everyone does. For me, one thing that differentiates the “prophets” from other “wounded ones” is the compulsion or urgency to explore and express the learnings and callings of this wrestling and its pain. Benjamin, you do that all in prose and poetry and journal… And for those like me, who are gifts with opportunities in converse with you, in conversation! I am grateful for your wrestling, says Matthew.)

I keep on watching him until they stripped his wings and pulled up from the earth on two feet like a man (I no longer wrestle god or gods but the rhizome writing and the writing rhizome. I wrestle the god jacob jaguar and I kiss Taryn hyenas and jaguars. I wrestle real and real rhizome the interzone. I light my wounds as a wick and fires fleer flesh flush and I explore these experimental fires. I explore frantic fires and wound words god experiments. The fire opens my face Taryn’s face her jaguar jam orgasm)

I just checked and there’s currently 21 volumes of the Book, I say. What constitutes a volume? says Asia. Between 100-300 pages in a word document, depending on how I feel at that time. If I felt it came to an ending, I started a new volume. It becomes unwieldy to edit word documents for me that go past 200 pages. Dang, says Asia. Yeah, people are going to say I was mentally ill. They wouldn’t be entirely wrong, says Asia. More people should write more though, even just journal entries, she says.

Another thing about me is that I am full of ideas but I hardly ever see them through, says Asia. Me too, I say. Maybe I should just get really good at talking, says Asia. That way, I can talk other people into helping me bring my grand ideas to life, she says. By telling me, you’ve already kind of giving yourself a level of commitment, I say. That’s true, says Asia.

The mystery of the Book doubles back towards desert the mystery of the colors. The mystery of the book doubles helix and spirit spirals around the mystery of the Christian Cross. The Christian Cross uncloses queer Christina’s cross, her chrism of initiation into desert colors (The rhizome reds reveal further blood rhythm and the blue-grey stones engulf bodies in god lagoons and oil oases. The orange ash sways ocean baptisms,) The mysteries of the desert nightingale noise and gnarl Tree of Knowledge, and I host knowledge up bare birds and quartet for the end of time. Her time names the mystery of the desert mystery and the mystery belongs to Taryn, and she always prophesies narratives. She prophesies narrative noise mystery and narrative Christina nativity.

I wonder if I’m a failure as a prophet of God, I say to Craig. Why do you feel like a failure? He says. I didn’t get anything done. You’re not a failure, he says. God doesn’t need you, he wants you. If you feel you shouldn’t have taken a day off, then just make sure you do something tomorrow. God knows you better than you know yourself and is not surprised even when you slack. He knows when and how you’ll screw up, and yet he still chose you, he says.

I find an old email correspondence with Ann Marie from a little over 9 years ago concerning my prophecy and vision. I record the correspondence in its entirety.


1.  Am I a prophet? 2.  Am I a visionary? 3.  Do I have visions and dreams?

One would object these are personal questions; only I would know the answers.  However, prophecy and visionary work is shared; prophecy and visionary work is felt and influences those around them, even if it's to rage like the israelites had for many of their own prophets.  Thus, it is appropriate to ask questions – they are both personal and shared, personal and communal, solitary and for all humanity.

What are your insights to these 3?  I have never quite asked them that way before (I have asked the first several times; but repetition = difference, repetition = new creation, new heaven and earth)


Ann Marie’s response was as follows:

I have read your recent emails and attachments.  And here  is my response to your questions.

Yesterday I was talking with a friend about the difference between aspects of my theology that I could communicate within the current Christian framework/scaffolding/theology and those aspects that I do not know how to communicate in the current theological framework or in contemporary theologies. And in talking about that outside the boundary theology, I referenced you. I stated that I felt you were articulating some of that theology that I cannot speak, that nonetheless is the golden thread for me – the word and silence, presence and absence, light and dark, image and symbol – that I experience and sometimes glimpse in my own writing and imaging. Your work sometimes feels like a response to questions I have asked or will ask – an ongoing conversation that takes place on multiple levels – revealed and concealed through us and from us more than to us.  I suspect you have similar relationships with others.

I would call our particular conversation scriptural – in that is mediated by scripture. Many other prophets and visionaries have lived and been written this way – perhaps a process through which "God" writes on the human heart – not ever only one individual but not possible without particular individuals who live and love in particular bodies, places, and times. 

The boundaries of space and time are permeable – and what passes through that boundary is most often word/image. Explanations take place within the boundaries.  They work to integrate and contain what is being incarnated – the perpetual  deep-sea floor spreading that helps us recover from and prepare for the next tectonic shift. 

One of the threads I have been following recently is the insight that it is in the scriptural religions that each age ploughs its experience back into scripture.  That is what makes it palimpsestic. And that ploughing is most needed in our own time – an extension and expansion of a tectonic shift that occurred I think in the early 20th century. Many writers (and artists of all kinds) of the 20th century were engaged in that task, ploughing almost desperately to integrate some new revelation that is not conscious, perhaps will never be – since consciousness seems to be within the boundaries.  Barnes and Joyce, Jung and Eliot, and so many more (Phillip K. Dick?) have been taken up in that task.  And I would venture to say, you and I as well.  The work is incomplete of course – the tectonic shift was of great magnitude and we are still very close to it, living in the aftershock.  It is as if  a new holy mountain has sprung up, one that only those called and guided can climb – and yet, quite dangerous – hence, the need for scripture, for grounding, for place and time, for work and pleasure.  Ecclesiastes got much of it right. Perhaps that is why his book has been so popular in our century – the text of those still in shell shock,  wary of acknowledging the presence of something that is not "under the sun" that is more real than facts and reasons and explanations.  And maybe the deep-sea floor spreading of science and reason and explanation is the necessary distraction that keeps us from gazing too long and being blinded by the sun. 

For me, the church remains the necessary container/vehicle for this revelation – a revelation it carries but does not and cannot look at – one that appears in visions and prophecies – yes.  Only fragments and images can be honest because they bear witness to the presence of the absence.

For me to write about such things – I think I would do it in fiction.  The characters are there waiting for me.  And the time approaches to give them voice and genre and audience. I once had lunch with Susan Sontag – and she pretty much said this same thing. Though known for her essays, she understood that fiction was more honest because it allowed for multiple voices. For me the Bible is the scriptural symphony that is the best model for how to write with integrity – with a sense of the sin and the wound, as well as with a sense of the whole that extends beyond the boundaries of human thought, science, invention – but can be glimpsed through vision and revealed through prophecy.

That was my initial intuition some thirty years ago – that intuition has incarnated in many forms since then – and I can honor and perceive it more deeply after years of scholarship, reading writing, and teaching.  But I intuited it – or rather it intuited me at a particular birthing point – a point I continue to circum-ambulate and incarnate – a journey within the boundaries – but held and touched by a transforming love that has no boundaries. Jung was a clumsy midwife to that birth.  But there were others.

And encountering you on that journey – yes – that has been very important.  I don't try to understand what you write.  I bow to it.

Thus ends Ann Marie’s email.

Taryn repositions and manipulates ben bodies: bodies bare desert patterns and desert sand phases Taryn desert phases erode unsettling erotic nudes often seemingly obvious women

When her name comes, her name immediately says more than her name: her name tyrant or sharp tooth shreds an erotic name or inverted vagina dentata When her name comes, her name immediately cums as Taryn squeezes juiced orgasms out of me Her names pairs my name movable type and movable earth immediate eros or nude earth erosion

Her names immediately cum kingdom of god gushing ejaculate gospels Her names immediately orgasm kingdom of heaven and the spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness Her name over than her names peak wilderness pornographic and her names modulate ben bodies Her names modulate ben body melodies and she repositions and arranges my bodies oblivious nudes / sand on horizontal plate patterns

Her names immediately striptease something else and something different

Immediately her names drive me out into the wilderness and in the wilderness for forty days, I write and improvise for the first time her names the shape of jazz to come and the shape of punk to come

Her names invent nude now negative: her names naked improvise new antinomianism Her name immediately antinomian inverts apocalypse: apartment aporia alien aporia but her face Her face irrupts her name announces

An asymmetrical psalm prays the name Krystal and the names Krystal Khora An asymmetrical psalm slips ship genetics and her names task me with prayer-prophecies (The only task work completely is the destruction of the world Destroy what destroys you / Krystal Khora destroying angel the faerie queen)


I often desire to destroy myself: I desire death and annihilation. Recently, I have had a couple of severe bouts of suicidal ideation. I attribute this severity to a few factors: the absence of Christina, stressors at work, and starting a new medication that increased the unpredictability and severity of my moods. I often desire to destroy myself, which is to destroy my world.

Do you hate my guts? I ask Asia. Why would you ask me that? she says. Because I feel very low and I feel like everyone hates my guts. Have I done or said anything to make you think I hate you? No, I don’t recall anything right now. Then why would you ask me that? Because I feel like it so that’s why I asked. I don’t want you mad at me. I don’t think anyone hates you besides Ben, says Asia. It is hurtful to be asked that especially if I haven’t done anything, she says. I’m sorry I hurt you. Could you help me figure out how to express my thoughts when I feel like that so I don’t hurt you? You could say that you are feeling like everyone hates you instead of asking if I hate you. I don’t hate you, says Asia.

Her name announces the very body of the name: ben hinnom body full blood flat kiss thigh full flesh Full blood kiss experiments Taryn thighs feet toes and her name now nude shows ben body blood transparent Blood meanders her name mirror and moon

Ben body blood transparent (a transparent scream steam blood bed A transparent thread stream steam engine erotic bed: our bed bridal chamber A stream bed followed a tilted valley: Taryn tilted nude body without organs valley visions) (A stream ben bed follows a tilted body Tilted Taryn body burrows valley pinball pornography Toward Taryn follows her tilt sword hilt stabs holes in the valley)

Ben body blood transparent meanders threaded mirror and moon valley (I myself meander moon: I meander through a glass darkly many moons and I maw mouth moon scripture I reflect when Asia still did moon magic and she scripted with the moon and many nurses remain convinced full moons mean a day of increased hospital and patient intensities and incidents I admire Asia’s moon) (I admire Asia’s moon and I remember this moon synchronizing phases and shimmering pulses to Violin Phase and Piano Phase. I admire the moon in canon with another imaginary earth moon and they dance epicycloids and helix orbits within its phases. I don’t keep track of the phases of the moon although I work night shift but I keep track of Asia’s moon. I trace its phases and I live the phases of Asia’s moon mirror scripture. I record new scripture or invented scripture. My words wax and wane Asia’s moon and her scripting and intentions phase and canon my scripting and intentions. I halve my body full moon. I admire Asia’s moon: new moon and full moon. I admire her new moon and full moon and her moon reveals through a glass darkly and through a mirror dimly. Her moon illuminates my body without organs undifferentiated desert. Asia scribes and reinscribes my body word woman and her new and full desert scripture.)

I know how you feel about going to the emergency room during an episode, says Asia, but I wanted to say that I think you are right and that you should avoid it at all costs. I think it is going to get increasingly worse for people who get admitted, she says. It’s not good right now for mental health services, I say. I really appreciated how you handled my acute episode the last time. I feel you did really well and obviously I’m still here. I felt you didn’t judge me even though you made your position known, and I felt very cared for, I say. It didn’t exactly feel like I was handling it well at the time, but I’m glad you feel that way, says Asia. I promise never to call emergency services on you, she says. I appreciate that a lot, I say. I’ve made my stance known, says Asia, but I’m not going to strip someone of autonomy nor will I ask the state to do it, she says. That makes sense, I say. I will do my best to listen and be receptive if I feel in crisis, I say. If I’m talking to you and being open with you in crisis, it’s because I trust you and I need to see that trust through, I say. Missouri has started having people who have multiple mental health crises admitted to old folks homes, says Asia. I can’t even say that a law was passed, because I don’t think there was, and they are violating the people with disabilities act. Maybe I shouldn’t be talking to you about this. I’m just scared and mad and confused, says Asia.

Who is the woman of the apocalypse? says Asia. Taryn, but in a wider context, the Divine Woman in some sense. It just seems a little odd for her to be sexualized because it doesn't seem consensual, says Asia. Could you elaborate more on how it doesn't seem consensual? Because I didn’t have that in mind at all. I thought you would like it and I didn’t anticipate you finding it problematic. I will rewrite it based on your suggestions. “She screams I AM THE SUN and an integral erection – she does something, there is no implication that she did this in order to please someone, and then there is an erection as a result. She is further sexualized throughout the passage and the context is that she just gave birth. It comes across as male gaze-y. You could work on it but all the pieces aren’t working together… It starts off saying “beware the woman of the apocalypse” but it doesn't really tell us why, implies that she is sexy and sexual but doesn’t do anything herself to invite this kind of attention… Sorry, I’m a little picky when it comes to sexualization of women, she says. [I send Asia more context on the Woman of the Apocalypse] I feel like I put a lot of thought and heart into it, and I felt like if anything, it’s Taryn acting upon me, and I’m being passive. She possesses the sun and the erection. It’s her sun that orgasms. She seems active to me, I say. Your explanation makes sense but wasn’t present in the short excerpt you sent me, says Asia. It’s an easy fix though. Show her owning the pleasure instead of being detached from it. I thought it was something outside of her, not something she was experiencing, she says. Could you help me rewrite it? I say. What would you say to show she’s owning it? You could literally add something like “the pleasure / power coursed through her body”, she says. You could also describe body language or facial expression to show what she is feeling or give her anatomy. She could be eyeing you like a piece of meat: you can reverse it. If you want her to be something you should beware of, describe her like a predatory, says Asia.

A Stone Book Meanders Mirror And Moon

Her unearths an equal number of male and female skulls     Her here earths knuckle numbers male and female skulls     Her hair here unearths an equal number of male and female skulls     Here I unearth here comes everybody a number of male and female skulls

A number of male and female skulls resemble my own skull cast stone. Stone strays a myriad of skulls and these stone skulls cast crystal matrix. Matrix mirrors skulls into skulls and the stone matrix rivers metafictions and magical realm confabulations. I put four edges around those facts and I edit the stone into the skull. I edit the skull into a stone. I broadcast the skulls into the soil like the sower parable from the goggles, and despite where the skull falls (bare soil, rocky soil, good soil), the skull bears stones and the stones coagulate human assemblages. I number the stones with or without humans, and Book archives all numbers. Numbers and skulls and human assembles all fall into and through the field of the Book.

I float in fluid sometimes lake sometimes ocean. I float in fluid salt sea bloodstream and I hallucinate occasionally in this sensory deprivation tank. I do not hallucinate but experience altered states and I live the entire life of a cicada or a glass sponge. I live primordial and primeval and I learn the secrets of genesis, abiogenesis, and the evolution of life on earth. My body breaths earth and earth brings my body into existences (both directions at once). My birth births my birth and I bear pregnant stones and apocalypses with earth and her earth.

I have been thinking about writing and its relationship to Christianity, I say. What are your thoughts on it? says Asia. There is a certain kind of reversal or overturning of biblical texts in my writing. Right now I’m writing about this text from Isaiah where God declares the destruction of Edom and how his sword will be full of blood. I have been subjecting the writing to the crucifixion and blood of Christ, the victim of violence and the metaphysical sword. One thing I should say I truly believe my writing is a spiritual calling and I do occupy the role of a kind of modern day prophet. So I take it seriously even though it is very crazy, I say. That sounds interesting, says Asia. One of my projects is a kind of rewriting the Bible, I say. My Book is a bible in a sense. I’m always concerned with how delusional I am. I don’t think it’s crazy, says Asia, but then again, I don’t think anything is sacred when it comes to writing. This made me think of this meme, I’m sorry. I am causing problems on purpose? Some people might say so, says Asia.

(A conversation related to the moon from 4 years ago) My new approach to lunar scripting, says Asia. Today is the new moon so you’ll be planting seeds and manifesting. Yup, she says. What exactly does that process consist of? Decide what you want and write about it like it has already happened, says Asia. Like “I’m so happy and thankful now that…” Very cool – do you consider it an act of magic? Yes, says Asia. I think magic is about intention, and changing the world around you. It’s also about believing that you have the power to change it. Manifestation is all about believing that you have the power to change it. Manifestation is all about believing it will change, she says. It must have been studying bees that helped you become so powerful in your intentions, I say. Actually deciding what I want has always been hard for me, says Asia. I’ve never been good with decisions and I haven’t trusted myself for awhile. So this is an exercise in trust. Both in trusting that I will have what I need but also trusting myself to know what it is that I need… I think I figured how to do the scripting thing with the moon every day. The week leading up to one of the four phases will be dedicated to that phase so for example, starting tomorrow, the moon will be waxing and leading up to the half moon. I will be setting intentions, forming game plans, and next steps until the half moon. After the half moon, it will be a week of gratitude until the full moon. Then a week of reflection, what's missing, what needs to change moving forward until the half moon. And a week of planting seeds until the new moon. And the end of each week I will put a page in my bullet journal, says Asia. You got it, I say. This is such a cool thing to witness your spiritual growth. (Asia no longer does lunar scripting because she fully trusts herself We perform magic by participating in the Book)

I stir strewn stones the tall stall of this dream and I wander dreaming word stone lost or stone gone god the girth of the dream. I stay dream stone stir her killings and I stew stones. Here the stones stray ray narratives where I can’t find my ways. I gaze moon and I scar stones but no narratives. I stay stones and the narrative targets the revelation of her names. Perhaps telling the stones of her names, without or with moon phases can prove sufficient.

(In the fourth generation, Rabbi Israel of Rishin stayed at home and said: The fire we can no longer light, the prayer we can no longer know, nor do we know the place. All we can do is tell the story. And that too, proved sufficient.)

I stay with the stones and they speak her name. I stay with the stones pregnant and they speak her names pregnant. Revelation is the revelation of her names; her language has no grammar but only consists of her names. All scripture reveals nothing but her names.

I stay with stones pregnant press name post-processural archaeology (Stones stay the giver of ways and although I lose my ways I find her names. I find her names liturgy of the hours and pregnant stones stretch hour of the wolf her words of longer duration. I endure her names and stones at many multidirectional lost ways.)

I mass produce stones stone ghosts Christina tombstones (tombstone hard and graveyard mine just 22 and I don’t mind dying). I do not fear the factory but I machine matter and material. I machine ben bodies from abyss with her names as stones. Stones proliferate as churches and ghosts.

Any myths and stories you think we aren’t writing that we should write? I say. I’m not sure, says Asia. I don't think most people are intentionally making myths when they make them, she says. That’s true, I say. I think there’s value in being aware of the stories we are telling ourselves though. Using your example of Christianity, many aren’t aware of the implications of a lot of Christianity they grow up with, like how it affects self-worth or our relationship with nature. They just see it as immutable, a fact of life, not a story that can be changed. We are often blind to our assumptions and frameworks, I say. I don’t mean that someone should be unintentional, says Asia. But someone might not see the full scope of it until alter. Myth making is a collective thing after all, she says. Collective in what way? I say. As in, it doesn't become myth until it is shared and helps create and is created by others, she says. I guess it’s possible for mythology to only exist for one person if it shapes the way they see the world but I understand mythology to be a shared thing, says Asia. Does us participating in the Book count as shared myth? I say. Like Jesus saying in the Gospel of Thomas: Where there are three divine beings, they are divine; where there is two or one, I myself dwell with that person… I think it does [count as myth], says Asia.

Salvation with sight laces lattice double blood and black lace: narrative bodies and mythic bodies fully participating in sounds slide silences liminal musics. I sight salvation sheets of sound.

I think part of the myth of the Book is the act of tearing apart the myths that made us and recreating them, says Asia. Yes, I say. The Book tears apart hierarchies, exclusivity, othering people, violence… And it takes the myths of the Bible and subverts them and recreates them into anarchy and inclusivity, I say.

I like the new direction, says Asia. I think it’s a smoother read when you mix up the mediums a bit like you have. I’ll be on the lookout for more anarchist narrative for you. I think narrative does a beautiful job of building symbolism through imagery that’s hard to get with other forms of writing. I think people think of narrative and poetry and figurative language as separate things and that does everyone a disservice. Narrative can set the stage, add context and depth to it, bring it to life. A metaphor can say “it is” but turn it into a narrative and you can show us. This isn't really can example of anarchic narrative but an example of an in-depth metaphor in a narrative: there is this book that really stuck with me called H Is For Hawk, where a woman who is grieving the death of her father gets a hawk and tames it. Part of the hawk taming process is to seclude yourself with the hawk. So she isolates herself, just her and this giant bird of prey. As the hawk becomes more tame, she becomes more feral and there is something powerful about the imagery because she could have just waxed poetic about the sadness and weariness of grief and she turned it into something wild – untamed – animal – something that changes us. And she was just didn’t tell us, she shows us exactly what it can looks like, says Asia.

I raise the cup of salvation as new myth and five study leaves surround the rose new narrative. I always know rose as rosary, and rosary reveals sea of reeds reveals ark of the covenant. Rose and rosary ring exile and exodus cup earth ground salvation. I walk the ground narrative and I rinse in the river myth. Narrative speaks into the rose salvation and the leaves make good eating. I eat leaves light and life and I walk on sea of galilee ground myth.

Five sturdy leaves surround the rose: these five called salvation These five salvation name the gate five gates

Leaves name the leaves five leaves: gates name the gates five gates. My five fingers grasp five gates and I open the hinge hinge Alice’s Adventures Underground. I pass through five simultaneous gates with absurd same and romantic chess tactics. Names transform with numbers: Christina names me multiple bens between pairs of strata.

I would like to write some narratives about you being different insects or different legendary creatures, I say. I’m down with that, says Asia. Do you have any insects or creatures you want me to write you as? No, I want you to decide, says Asia. You borrow heavily from other sources and that’s good, and you do good work with the things you collect, but something tells that you could do a little more to draw from the inner wells of Ben and that has been neglected some. I think this narrative experiment is drawing it out of you a bit though, she says. That’s an interesting point and I think you’re right, I say. You want to draw from the inner wells of ben in writing you? In writing in general, says Asia. I always worry about writing you incorrectly or in a way that doesn't represent you, so I check with you a lot… I will draw from the inner wells of ben on writing in general and in writing our friendship too. I will still check with you on ideas to make sure you’re OK with it and give you feedback I say. That's fine with me, says Asia.

(I was talking to Christina yesterday and got on the topic of Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly. Have you heard the record?… I listened to it again afterward and I felt like I am never going to be able to create writing as great as that record. I felt very discouraged. That's when I wrote you the prophecy stuff: “I hope I create. I hope I pray something radically flat and radically open…” because I felt creatively inadequate. I feel I can’t prophesy to the extent I need to, I say. Why would listening to an album make you feel like you can’t create? says Asia. You aren’t Kendrick Lamar. You aren’t making albums. You are Ben and you create as Ben. You will never be Kendrick and Kendrick will never be Ben and that’s OK, she says. I know, but I feel the way the themes and techniques used in that album – the creative techniques – outstrip what I can do with my creative techniques. I’m not doing enough creatively. I have to put in more work. Even then it might not be enough. No, stop thinking like that, says Asia. It’s not about more work – stop using this as an opportunity to punish yourself. Find the direction you want to go in, what you want to get across and then shift your technique accordingly, she says.)

(Talking about To Pimp A Butterfly really depressed me, I say. It made me feel like I’m never going to make work that great. Oh, I see, says Christina. It’s a great piece of work. Lots of people make great pieces of work though. Except me, I say. Why do you discount yourself? What changed when you see someone else’s work? I can’t make something as great. I recognize a greatness I don’t recognize in myself. What do you think he thought as he was struggling writing the album? says C. How many times did he almost trash the whole thing? How much was left on the cutting room floor? Says Christina.)

Ghost stories and urban legends fascinate me: they sometimes frighten me wonderfully. I’ve never told stories around the campfire but I dream myself around the campfire and I mimic jump stories from the collection Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark. Ghost stories pervade waking life and dreaming life and I wake to sleep and take my waking slow. I wake to sleep ghosts inside and ghosts outside, and every ghost speaks stories. I know and tell stories, myth ghosts, and ghost fragments.

I would like to talk about mythology, says Asia. The myths that are a part of religions and how they shape worldviews. Many of the stories in the Bible are treated like and function as mythology. I’m going to be mostly talking about the creation story. God makes the earth, the animals, the plants, the sky, then makes Adam. Adam gets lonely, God makes Eve, God tells the humans not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, the serpent tricks Eve and God banishes Adam and Eve and curses them. This myth shaped the way Christian societies viewed the world and women. Yesterday, I started reading a book called Braiding Sweet Grass and it starts off with the native origin myth. Sky Woman grabbed fruits and seeds from the tree of life as she was falling. She fell to the earth, was rescued by geese, other animals came to her aide, pulling mud from the bottom of the water and putting it on the turtle’s back. Sky Woman dances with joy and her joy multiplied the dirt. She planted the fruit and seeds that she carried with her and she consecrated the earth with other living things. I had to put the book down and grieve the impact of the mythology that raised me. All of the guilt and shame. Being told that I was inherently gullible and naive because I was a woman and Eve was tricked. Told that we should have dominion over the living things around us. The stories we tell are powerful. They literally shape the world around us… How do you reconcile this? What does a nonviolent Christianity do about violent myths? says Asia. I was thinking of several texts from the Nag Hammadi Codex that reinterprets the Genesis myths, I say. In the Apocryphon of John, The Nature of the Rulers, and a couple others, the Woman shows the Man his true nature and gnosis. The serpent is either Zoe, a woman, or Jesus himself. The myths of the Bible are myths of human nature and human history. Its violence is human violence, not Christ. It reveals ourselves at our worst, I say. Funny how they seem to give god the same nature in those early myths, says Asia. I kind of have a theory that those myths are created by and perpetuated by man’s self-hatred. I think there is something about Christianity that is very open to preconceived negative thought patterns. I don’t think Christianity was intentionally designed to be oppressive, I think it was shaped that way by our hatred for ourselves. My brain was like “hmm yes, I am inherently unworthy of love” and turned that into my own personal gospel. You can’t convince me that the dogma of “humans are inherently evil” was created by a people that didn’t hate themselves. Because that means that they believe they were born evil and sinful too, says Asia. I’m experiencing that now, I say. You know I struggle with my value. It’s very possible that has roots in me growing up in a fundamentalist church, I say. I think it’s a bit of an ouroboros situation or a “What came first? The chicken or the egg?” situation, says Asia. Like a feedback loop, I say. Exactly. How did you break out of it? There are probably multiple ways to do it but I took a step back and started untangling things, says Asia. I eventually realized that the feelings of being unworthy were older than when I started going to church. Then worked to untangle that from the religious beliefs that reinforced it. But the problem still remains that there are core beliefs and teachings in contemporary Christianity that can be dangerous for people already in those kind of feedback loops and encourage them. I don’t really know how to reconcile that. You would have to change those beliefs and myths entirely, says Asia.

I tell stories and to prophesy means to tell stories and knit net narratives. I build a campfire in the night of desert, and ghosts gather to send and receive stories. Stories change and exchange earth into earth.

Myth making is the most sacred things someone can do, says Asia. I think that's true, I say. Do you remember when I said that our friendship does god activity? I think myth-making is also god-activity, I say.

Whenever I feel slightly egotistical about my creative work, this Book and Myth, I read the Zohar and become quickly humbled. Moses De Leon (and the precursors he built off of and the kabbalists who followed and expanded upon the Zohar) wrote the desert dense beauty body without organs. I aspire to write this undifferentiated desert myth, this infinite machine-assemble myth and myths. The Zohar continually reveals grandleon revelation and grand guinol ghost gore, and I copy its monstrous grotesque. I copy its prophetic and punch talon theater revelation, and its hermeneutic and hermetic flame never diminishes.

I raise the cup of salvation: sieve large human skeletons Serpent savle calve halves glacier salvation Salve sifts book of sand halves glacial horror / grotesque gods Cup clowns Taryn trickster torture porn cluster terror (Taryn terror trine counterpoint augmented aporia) (aporia terror / reconstruction of the Pythagorean cosmos according to the plane of the octave) Cup calves Taryn glacier pornographies (nightmare thrills beyond belief! The mammoth monster that terrorizes the earth! MONSTER FROM GREEN HELL Today it’s destroying Africa… Tomorrow the world! Man-eating lions! Stampeding elephants? Razor-jawed crocodiles! Screaming savages! … All powerless against the marauding unknown monster that crushes all before it!)

What myths do you think we are creating together? I say. Like what specific stories do you think we tell about each other, our friendship, and the world? Share yours first and I’ll think about mine, says Asia. The story of the Book first of all is a story of Ben and his relationships, I say. It began with his relationship with Christina, then with Taryn, and now with Asia. Specifically concerning our friendship: it is a story of recognizing harm and destruction, surviving and growing despite the difficulties and obstacles, and now our pursuit of the unconditional. Our friendship is a myth of perseverance, unconditional care, growth, and also the power of creativity. It is about overcoming previous constraints (confining religion, mental illness, emotional abuse and manipulation) and becoming healthy, loving, open, inclusive, creative. We were previously caterpillars and we underwent metamorphosis and are butterflies and moths. Our creativity is a myth of new spirituality: one without violence, without destructive gods and creeds. It is anarchic spirituality and a kingdom of the now, without hierarchy. This again is part of the unconditional, our pursuit and practice of unconditional care and agape run throughout friendship, creativity, and work on the Book, I say. I agree with the ones you listed so far, says Asia.

I Wrestle Gods The Inconsistency Principle

You could be thinking of something entirely different and then tune into the process that’s going on somewhere, says Peter Maxwell Davies     I think of something and the something sinks into difference something tunes tine time tunes difference desert microtones and oscillations

The inconsistency principle The inconsistency principle plays palimpsest The inconsistency principle pulses pink palimpsest inconsistency imposed inconsistency I play inconsistency and I prepare the palimpsest in overlapping pulse participations I participate in inconsistent myth and I myth palimpsest participation I act as an inconsistent sorcerer and sorcerer dark subverts masquerade movement I move palimpsest ragtime serpentine syncopation Inconsistent sorcerer saw subvert terrain vain vein venous venom fissure Terrain plain pink temporary terrain but I sleep inconsistency I tighten titan titanium inconsistent torture garden

(Here on or now new terrain rain helium: I crosshatch helium hectic hydrogen I crossbeam helium novella novena / I subvert terrain retail remains)

I write subvert remains terrain I write inconsistent rhizome inconsistent (are these sections considered transitions emphasize repetition look closely at the most interesting details and amplify them) I crossbeam back steel in the hour of chaos / to write means to confront an unknown face

Terrain traces rhizomes and I traverse the rhizomic terrain. I travel terrain circular ruins and the ruins appear as new difference with every glance: every glance gleams the rock corpses of god. I travel rhizome rapid rough rhythm as Christina’s dreaming. Christina dreams me and I’m only a sort of thing in her dream. She dreams rocky rhizomes that rival my writing pink plateau. Plateaus palace rhizomes and I journey their palimpsests.

You could be thinking of something entirely different and then tune into that process that’s going on somewhere, says Peter Maxwell Davies I think something and something sinks into difference Something tunes dialogic detunes difference desert microtones and oscillations I tune into desert process and write erosion Write tune dune dime noels process demon possession My process goes nowhere but desert

An inconsistent desert directs desert dominant sevenths An inconsistent desert details four-part counterpoint in a chorale coral Christianities I discover the Christian desert daylight Christianities coupled rhizome and palimpsest Desert diameter disclosed the Christian desert inconsistent and multiple

I tune into an inconsistent desert process and I write inconsistent erosion Erosion doesn't erase but coalesces chronologies and christianities / Christina dreams circular ruins Erosion invades its own erosion but explodes earth rhizome elemental air fires

I continue to drink and dream Christina’s inconsistent desert. Desert diodes collide and spark pink plateaus and pink palimpsests. Palimpsest drones Christina desert overtones. Overtones dot deserts and the daemons dust taryn tasmanian devils. Christina as devil tempts me in deserts and her erosions unearth immediate Kingdoms: Kingdoms draw drawl additional deserts.

I tune into desert process punk palimpsest and I witness elephant erosion (I who died dreaming of an elephant I who died dreaming the elephant elephant Elephant erode et aleph specter on cipher: cipher grey on grey granite cipher cipher grey on grey Christina garden god cipher grey on grey griffin garbed god / god becomes garbed in my tongues KING FELIX)

I turn into the desert process cipher KING FELIX and palimpsest KING FELIX Write tune dune dime novel process inconsistent demon possession (and the unclean spirits came down and entered the swine, and the herd, numbering about two thousand, stampeded down the steep bank into the sea and were drowned into the sea) My processes go nowhere but desert / my desert drive and drown in sea My processes go nowhere but scherzo insect wings northwest wing Insects inject entirely different tonality diamonds tonal torsion twist and shout taryn insects (I’m about to send you a bug that looks like a bottle of goth nail polish, says Asia. I’m wheezing, why is he shaped like that? Goofy hot topic shopping ass, she says. He’s been working out that badonkadonk, I say.)

I talk of entirely different insects I talk of entirely different dung beetles fire deluge of the desert The Christina desert detours and defers desert difference inverted dome stations of the cross Stations of the cross crosshatch Christina dreaming and Christina desert difference / subterranean univocality

Subterranean desert inhabits dream elephants: aleph elephants habitation, wooden create in wheels territory territory lacunae loop Taryn elephant Elephant infers difference hangman helios / It is Re who created his names out of his members

Subversion is the very movement of writing: the very movement of death I write towards a death and I writes towards my death I write lengthy death personal letters procedural laboratory I look at no mirror but my face earth erosion My face laps lime stone cool clash karst Face karst clash klang no mirror but mirror awl apparition emphasize repetitions I urge an actual earth repetition no mirror I urge earth erode emergent repetitions I urge use repetitions unify ark invisible mirror marauder mirrors Use word urge bare blue nodes now where driven mad the sea

I move through many mirrors. I move through mirrors plenitude and pleroma and my meditation on mirrors reveals more mirrors. Mirrors intermingle mirrors and I see through a glass darkly. I gaze through a glass darkly and I focus through a mirror dimly and soon face to face: face to face with Christina. I charge Christina through mirrors and she evades ghost in mirror swinging mirror to mirror the evolution of great apes (living in the forests, more or less sheltered from the light of the sun, sometimes in the darkness of the cellar, clumsily surging from one branch to another, apes are destined by a certain mode of life to never-composed agitation, Georges Bataille tells me in a mirrored desert dream). I chase Christina into mirrored rooms like the climax of Enter The Dragon, and her mirrors bewilder dark, my face full erosion. I remember her face as a transparent mirror: a speculum that doesn’t shine on its own and like a lantern absorbing light and glowing.

Subversion moves very death and very palimpsest: I live very desert death I write towards a desert death and I write towards my very desert I write very rhizome length death desert durations and I sing death letter blues procedural archaeology I look at no mirror swans reflecting elephants and I emerge elephant aleph taryn ass alphabets I emerge faces converge Christina of mysteries / desert Christianities secret subterranean I face subterranean the subverted face: Christina’s mouth gnaws body without organs claws maws ben bodies (My face facets lap bar limestone cool clash karst My face feelers karst clash klang no mirror but mirror awl apparition emphasize repetitions I urge surge saw in earth repetition no speculum I urge surge earth erode faces and faces emergent repetitions Rhizome urge use repetitions unify ark speculum species speculum Rhizome use word pink plateau nudes now where drive mad sea

If god came to me in a vision and said to me, the truth is the SDA church, I say, I’d say fuck you god, and we would wrestle like Jacob did, and I would submit him and wouldn’t let him go until he became inclusive and radically loving, I say. One thing that made me curious about the Unitarian Universalism, says Asia, was a UU pastor saying “Humans don't have to prove themselves to God, God has to prove himself to humans.” I’m paraphrasing but that was the first time I heard anyone say that God has to be held accountable, she says.

I wrestle gods I wrestle gods rhizome riot process pink beat body without organs Wrestle rhizome ruin a scanner darkly Wrestle dark desert god I go ghosts or ghastly grinner Wrestle process I go ghosts gout old english alliterative verse Dark gall wrestle ghost grip jump ghost gunshots

It might be a thematic idea or a purely structural idea with its pivots: a big time span, with departure points and arrival points, but you don’t know what’s between them, says Peter Maxwell Davies

Anthony Braxton gathers his ghosts trance music ensemble, turns over the hour-long hourglass and the performance goes

I too improvise ghosts I improvise ghosts accelerating and decelerating I improvise ghost gore / transparent blood transparent banishing circle I improvise book ghosts primeval giants (subversion improvises the very movement of writing: it improvises the very movement of death)

It might be a thematic idea or a purely structural idea. The theme throws the theme Christina cornerstone and stone stacks themes. Theme stacks theme stone and the stonehenge stands stonehenge. Theme timber and timbre sounds Christina tetragrammaton and her names make the myth machine theme. I see the machine there in dream and the dream dives themes.

It might be a thematic idea or a purely structural idea. I trade theme for theme and I insist on an inconsistent theme tissues palimpsest (the theme always means Christina) (The theme always means Kindred) I wrestle with the theme god theater tetragrammaton

I wrestle gods the inconsistency principle I wrestle the inconsistent Christina, and I write towards a death and my death I oscillate microtonal death and desert Christianity and the Christianities queue catacombs cataract ben hinnom body without organs

The theme god and the theme death wrestles inconsistency
