A Hieroglyph From the Library of Babel

 

In the vast luminous spaces

of the Library of Babel

serendipity of Light

was merely incidental~

It was the tonalities

the Silences the impeccable Rhythms

engulfing the Fire-Spaces the tornado

the hurricane with a fruity smell

the articulate rain the arbitrary

resonances metafusing all

the clarities to the point of

infinite impeccability.

In the infinite ruins

of Heraclitus’s somnambulisms a lucid

flame resonates the parables

of impossibility in the sacred

liquid books of eternity.

We have to destroy transcend

infinite cosmoses recurring and not

recover our sacred perfections

engraved in liquid hieroglyphs

on infinite luminous walls.

Infinitely pure perfect

now the Library of Babel

is all Light and

the Luminous Silence

of a still flame!

24th June 1997

Note: “The Library of Babel” is the name of a

great short-story by Argentine genius Jorge

Luis Borges.
