This is the poem "Draft 5: Gap." (A note on the following text: "The little child self" from Mallarme's The Tomb of Anatole, specifically Paul Auster's translation. "An activity. . ." is Regina Schwartz explaining interpretation; the notion of memory as interpretation recently in Mary Jacobus. "It is proper" from Irigaray. The black books are by Anselm Kiefer. "Someone" is the dancer Sharon Friedler; "the form" occurs in Japanese music: "jo"--introduction, "ha"--the scattering, and "kyu"--the rush to finish.)
