InterWritingWiki — Writing Dubuffet’s Titles

"swoon the epitaphs, mostly illegible and howl and how!, the talmud’s ancient marginalia, make
decrepit text the only one. Famished, pause to carve small symbols:
hunger in a haunted burnoose..."

and my decrepit text is gone, wrenched and encrypted
for how long,
in fragile paper skirt, the mummified word wrapt in its own
ashen paleography

detroits narrows strangulating a thin shunt
or stent or oration of silent paleographers
impoveriches passing number

encrepit in creche th hard glyph hungrily
skrytchenly crept englypted thus
ingrown th dry wasp's wizen spiralingual

kabbalistically listed all desiccate
still th living tongue in'ts archaeology
yet digs th ashy dust excrypting

to reveal the dancingfloor inspiral from the epitaph
the marginal become the virginal
at musick's centre singing

i finish thee respect
fully
darkling decrepitude
darling text
