A Primer

LM Rivera

A feverish involvement

 

in the archives

 

necessitates a nearly

 

irrational form

 

of concealment,

 

a counter-privation.

 

 

Could we not say,

 

then,

 

that the archives emerge

 

before all thinking?

 

And should we not say,

 

from the significance of this

 

emergence,

 

that there is no

 

note-worthy investigation,

 

that does not derive,

 

answer,

 

or return

 

to the archives?
