(Nebuchadnezzar on fire falling over a waterfall (1966-68) Arthur Boyd)
Epiphany V
– Imants Ziedonis (my translation from the Latvian)A full glass slopping over, a full mug foaming over. Can one serve that on the table of polite society? I was yeast, I met yeast, and we didn’t know what to do to each other, for we needed flour. I knew, that no one eats yeast. People eat bread and drink beer, but yeast isn’t eaten, when it has not yet found its flour. I have to be dissolved in water and mixed through flour. Just like that. Initially I was very dumb, I wanted to be eaten – pure yeast. To be eaten eagerly, at once and with the wrapping paper still on. It was the same for you.
Ever in excess. This is that fullness and completeness and satiated indecency. As always, in excess.
