The Light on the Hill, Part 40

I want to know everything then from the light on the hill. I want to know everything the strange bud has to tell. I make the magic ink of myself and he writes it down.

When there are no more walnuts or spittle, I will make the ink of metal, of blood, of semen, of feces. I will read what all of it has to say.

Nothing will escape my ghoulish generosity. I will give everything to rest in the security of new knowledge. I will die if I must, but I will be certain about something before it is finished. He will spell it out for me without prevarication, if the threat of death holds any sway. I’m uncertain. I don’t know how these mild confrontations work.

Give me the threat of death and I will be decisive. Perhaps man functions the same way. Do men think obedience greater than justice? I mean really, when it all boils down?

Survival is compromise. All things bend. These are ways of understanding through which I can express myself. I will bend the branches till they sing.
