The Living

reside inside the Great Oblivion

The Deceased have forgotten us

in an ex-world

The Universe is a forgotten realm,

suspended on the undulating motion

of an insect in July

Lowered into the Ginnungagap of the Now,

the Tow Hitch of World & Beings

is hauled across the Seabed of Nothingness;

the entire Unreality of Time gathered

'round the Singularity of the Real,

days light as lightness, heavy as weight;

the World Heritage of the Night

left under the Silence of the Zodiac

The World constitutes the Layered Amnesia

of the Dead

that we must inhabit;

the Remembrance Habitat of the Already Finely-Dispersed

under our feet, in our tissue, and about:

Conjured-Up Reminiscences

out of the Day-&-Night Structures of the Years,

space moulted, fears left ajar,

all Un-Spoken collected

in the mute Wordlessness of Vast Volumes

In but One Being, Everything and Nothing amasses;

in One Only the Memory is sealed:

The Peacock Spinner

masters the Entire Materialization of Reality

through the damp Northbothnian evening,

in the Billowing Gravity Waves

across the Road to Gunnarsdjupträsk

(from Alder Trees & Sallow on the north side,

towards the Amnesia Greenery

on the south side, by the southern part

of Västiträsket Swamp, heavily overgrown)

to shape a cocoon for itself,

to hibernate perhaps Three Winters as a pupa,

Remembrance of the World preserved, silent, inaccessible,

before the Metamorphosis of the All

into SATURNIA PAVONIA;

a Gold Plated Blast of Dawn

across Land & Sea, Forgetfulness & Heraldry,

Maintained & Abstained in a Sleeping Memory,

sensed by poets Anna Rydstedt & Jenny Dahlén,

both Herbary Shamans

in a kind of Sense & Moderation

securing the Lattice Work of Cerebration,

calming all of us with the middle name ”Forgotten”:

Anna Forgotten Rydstedt / Jenny Forgotten Dahlén,

Ingvar Forgotten Nordin / Anna Forgotten Nygren /

Sune Forgotten Karlsson / Dellaree Forgotten Östnäs /

Lars-Erik Forgotten Kjellström & eight billion Others

Saturnia Pavonia embodies Sleep Awake;

its Noctuidae-Flown Fairytale Recollections;

Reflections in Obscure Spatialities;

its phases:
eggs / larva stage I / larva stage II / larva stage III / pupa & moth;

Carrier of All Memories through Global Amnesia

while everything leaves
