no such thing
as culmination,
for there aren't any limits 
to those things 
which stay hidden. 
All of the options, 
all of the spurs 
and passions that we weigh 
are measly little bulwarks 
against the pure flood
of confusion. 
true, then—
there really is 
no extent 
to what is possible;
there are just a few
prerequisites. 
Firstly, that the beautiful 
must stay shackled 
to the temporary; 
and second, 
that an absence, the instant
it is felt 
must then remain 
unbearably 
present 
for the duration.
