Subject: MB: "i asked you to come ..."



(resonance of an empty space)

*here we are then once again ... every time and the first time ...
already a meeting again for us ... always too late for us to meet ...
it's true, because there is  ... did you hear the sound of their voice?
... *

again, welcome.

* ... surprise us.*

could i begin, addressing him? ... exquisite, and grave apparition.
only, perhaps in his place, an other would 
come and respond ... and she would remember ... and he would remember
... perhaps one could, remember ... *there are ... still ... writings
... absent ... from ... what remains ... of him ... displaced ... here
... in memory ... of him ...*

before beginning ... a curious rumor is going around ... an *imagining*
... disturbing the silence behind words, and the winds behind silence
... in fact, one begins to *imagine* ... perhaps speaking *is* unwelcome
here ... unless ... nothing is coming to pass ... strange, and
estranging movement of the un, of unmovement. 

*welcome*, one could (perhaps) come to believe, i am approaching ...
here, a terrible silence ... a silence no one could answer for ... *the
silence being ... over there, near where one could listen and interrupt
... as though a conversation had begun, somewhere else where no one is
speaking, where no one is (there) ... and he is the one who awaits a
response ... no one here is responding, until the interruptions begin
... and he becomes involved, standing over there in the silence where no
one is waiting ...*

one could perhaps *give* ... an *adieu* ... 

there is fear, *fear of the fear*, of wondering what would happen here
should no one be there, in the absence of an other ...

*do you remember how things happened? ... *

quietly,
