Here, the deep intimacy built between so-called predator and prey (self and other, self and self) tangles and untangles in an endless knot of relating. Here, a narrative of emergence arcs towards lyrical decomposition: \"when the end comes i will bend you like a star \/ and kiss you sticky the curves of you animal \/ until we the last island drown.\" Here, sounds, forms, and images pulse together with blood's electricity. These are words to read aloud, to wrestle with, to be cornered by, to hold.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-- D.
