I am Melusine in her bath, rising from the water in serpent coils. I am stranded on a island chain that swell from the sea like beads of sweat on a woman's skin. I am Lancelot after the Quest, with the image of the looking-glass Grail burning on my bones. I stand in the Delphic Temple, chewing the laurel and breathing the fumes. I have cleaned my body of the pomegranate paint, removed the black jewel. I stand in my flesh and wait. Venture through the forest to the fated glade, and try, if you will, to catch a glimpse before the arrows fly. I am, as a young man once told me on a Roman terrace over cigars and chianti, the gaping cunt into which the whole world falls. Take the plunge, darlings.
