for an egg to become
ends the ruin of what-is that gets conceived for an egg to become
for what-is before what gets conceived ecloses the egg into what-begins like
the generation of what a corpse will become, that is the one first final & infinite
& now fatal & in love

between the god & me

The presupposition: that the first hole is immortal & that it fills all subsequent holes such as a grave, pupa & uterus, for these, barren of the things they bare, grow for eternity

The argument for embryos: to become begins the ruin of what-is (this, that never exists!) yet conceptus of the what-begins to breath—the generation of all that breathlessness becomes, for all this becoming done before the animal dying is itself a death before a "life" that is like this in that it is always coming to some resolute emptiness—but unlike the becoming whole full of endingness, this "life" has none & will never like the dead bear an imago so that the life made bare can be a hole, a place where what-begins ecloses (those whose life is this death that gets lived like the buried among them) for to begin is but an instant and yet the desideratum of eternity & the barrenness there, grows a desire for that hour
