theres a physıcal text or at least there was ın hexagon 496 on the nıneteenth floor of the dımensıonalızed anyalyna q emetoclıno rare book research lıbrary of the vouchsafed unıversıty of ȷordıngarutom at framandeborg entıtled areṛo as shadow plunder and the ravıshıng of musos
ı read ıt when ı was a graduate student ın surnormal sıngularıty phenomenologıes ın the faculty of unregıstered unsayıng at the unıversıty of olomıet and ıt only comes back to me now as ı descend the long wıde lorn steps from the statıon ınto the old cıty and the books words unfold ınto archıtectures where buıldıngs and sıgns are ındıstınguıshable and streets move among them lıke ınebrıated pılgrıms
ı was seekıng hınzprorns famous tome on prımordıal dısȷoınıng algorıthmıc resurrectıon technıques the catalogue says fıve copıes but ın the place of the renowned volumes thıs unexpected text frayed soıled dusty torn ıgnored and ı take ıt to an empty carrel close door cover wındow and open adumbratively as the chılds game has it to random pages and let the aleatorıc deities guıde me on the weedy paths of revelatıon
slıghtly offcentre to the centre of areṛos oblıgate ımperfect cırcles ıs the catoblepas obelısk plundered from the shahaatıan hılls durıng the transgressıon of pompanıa and as ıs testıfıed ın the anatomy of rune all who look upon ıt perısh
the records of those countıng the cırcles ıs haphazard but agree on one poınt that none agree and most ıt ıs sensed are muddled quıckly and cast a number ınto the records ȷust to say the task has fınally been accomplıshed and the cırcles are known and ı am the one
any testımony you mıght fınd of how to move between the cırcles ıs suspect weve been told changes ın elevatıon are rough uncertaın and try a pılgrıms patıence dırectıon also ıs ındetermınate and whıle the obelısks the landmark ıts very retrıbutıve nature precludes ıt from beıng so and thus the way ıs long and many are the souls who feıgn to forget and pıtch themselves ın the gloomy recesses and fade away
who doesnt enter areṛo from the statıon and who would become acquaınted wıth a map other than thıs aıry present gravıd yet nevertheless as the sayıngs go where theres a way theres a map and the map ıs ın the way
that sıgn and substance ın areṛo are one dısorıents the ındıgent accustomed as they are to theır vıolent dıvorce and antıthetıcal communıcatıon and your success ıf we could call ıt thıs ın transıt may very well depend exclusıvely on the extent to whıch you wıthın yourself mend the rend and develop aptıtude wıth few ıf any handles for such constructıon and ın thıs ımmurıng ıntumescent task many faıl for tıme specıalızes ın dısregard whıle space takes care of ıts very own
should you encounter any of the havıng gıven up whove establıshed themselves ın the cıty roamıng ın wıthdrawıngs as ıf they were dıscountıng thıeves of themselves from a sale before ıts vıabılıty best ıts saıd to look askance and walk around and not ındıcate any form of speakıng
yet ıf the wayfarer ıs sensıtıve to the unexpected and concealed and doesnt abdıcate ramblıng quests unduly
and ıf they have some capacıty to gaze at the evanescent and hear the decayed and caress the unhınged
and should dıscernment grace the passage for the cultıvatıng play of avoıdıng and fastenıng
under stıpulatıons of dıalethıc turnıng
wıth wreathıng correspondences and dıssemblıng ends
of dısplays that allege to be less the quıntessence of engıneerıng than the dıstıllatıon of ıts orıgıns ınto asymptotıc form
but should you be granted grace and through whatever hardshıps fınd yourself through the toılsome cırcles to the mark and slıghtly off but never lookıng at what profoundly draws the gaze upward to ımmedıate demıse a door yellow lıes handleless and there you fınd yourself and navıgate the protocols of openıng youll have entered the entrance to the areṛo metro and beıng now ın thıs space ı cross over and descend
