EXTRAITTo the Minotaur's ReflectionIntoxicating breath, your animal quiet, a dancing in the ear, the broken-minded imagescreams. Labyrinthine stepsin this consciousness. A natural exilefor a beast with no country. This the unthought known, the acrobat's instinct, the innocence of language lost. Remember the sacrifice at the heart of man. In the belly of the beast the ceremony begins, the hidden sin trembles, the sword's fury.
