But sometimes the ointment is made of flies
living on the sour scum of our culture's
skein: immediacy represented
earth falling [a correction]
as we find ourselves in a world
| Death |
Life |
| Harmed |
Not So Harmed |
if we are damaged by our own deaths
or if
instead
it is only others
who bear that weight;
it is heavy, it spills over
"...since A does not exist at the time in question, 'A' apparently fails to refer." Harry S. Silverstein, "The Evil of Death," in John Martin Fischer (ed.), The Metaphysics of Death (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1993), p. 106.
Thus, we move backwards past ourselves.
