the restart
The woman, the idea, the female one becoming the other, the other the female one -- according to the attributes given them -- becomes transcendant, inaccessible, seductive. But if the void is the highest point for her, she draws everything down with her. "By herself." She fulfills the desire for nothingness. By playing with, acting the figure of death. If in fact she is acting. But so much is attributed to one who has nothing of her own. The risk: nothing is left. Erase that, by asserting that this was only a game. Then -- the restart, the repetition, the recurrence -- perhaps not in a simple way. Is she giving herself? Or giving herself out to be?
