Sagittal

Skrift som sådan er det drivende element i menneskets liv, incl. død. Drift er skrift, ridset ind i kroppenes og verdens flader: her hviler driften, her hvisler dybden: se her, i det skrevne, på kroppen eller væggen, hvad der skal gøres, det vil sige hvad viljen skal ville, og kødet skal kunne: det skrives. før det siges, og stemmen er selv skrevet, før den er sagt. Derfor tænker det og brænder i huden såvel som i hjernen, inden taler kommer til. Se, det levendes relikvier peger mod det, der driver os. Hvem skriver dér, det gør øjets, ørets, håndens i vinden dansende gestik, insekter, skygger, ingentings tunger, pile for kræfter, begærets diagrammer, dér, her, se: os selv, hvad vi er gjort af. Skriftens umærkelige snit i sindets og sprogets substans.
