As infinitive, capitalized, and rising in the green pond (1913)—For eight years abroad, Clarice Lispector’s
Occasional photograph in fur was misassembled glamor for contact comfort, against the inhuman variabilities
Of central air—Now, with the foundation off, and the deck fanned, as Heinrich Böll’s Leni, the one with a flower on her breast—
That she was a thirty-year-old woman, and too often in the place of imminents who slam the door to no one,

That which had only been seen by terrestrial telescopes, like the cockroach’s collaged blind fertility of its gaze, originating from an earlier stopover at the perfection of the planet Mars (1960); Marsilio Ficino, whose ascendant Saturn contacted all the roundels of his chart, found the Red planet’s orbital velocity disconcerting the cosmic scale—Clarice Lispector,
G.H., reenters the room, with its sweeping intentions at the July 14, 1964 Mariner-4 flyby of Mars—And it became a now, fifty years, exactly, the ninth wave of plasmaspheric wind to Pluto—The salt of life, on the page of a breast
