To speak an uninterpreted language

Uninterpretable is the God of the painters
Who speaks; language is full of contingencies
(hold them, caress them, treasure them)
Live no season
Nature, CXXIII, Nature LV, Nov, 5 1896
pi pas avec un i grec
gli etruschi meant drink
Drink in order to know no sorrow
kutiu, is close to Albanian, so that
In order to know, smooth the way
(the trains, even taken by chance, know where they're going)
oblivion: or is it imperfect knowledge?
Happy wine empty shall put much mouth.

Lost and cold among white cloths
my first thought, gentle as an instinct: exile
I read pages of books left out of order
is there more than order to a bookshelf?
Some Mayan hieroglyphs are called by definite description
and a number, 507: spotted kan; or names, Chicchan, Cimi
Lamat Venus Muluc Burden Jade Variant
Head with Kan infix is glyph 735 - I report to you what I find
736 is death. It is to be found in Zimmermann's glyphs.
It's got three faces: three closed eyes, rather cunning
they all look like little fish and tranquil fish
Glyph 738 is fish, detailed fish and there is one for turtles
and one for carapace - there is, in the Mayan words, an up-ended frog
a toad; do they mean what they show?
do we see what they mean?
(i discovered two turtles, 739 and 743
but they stand close enough together
after uinal, inverted ahau and before the eagle on side
and the dog with a torn ear)

What did they needed to say when they wrote
do cachorro da pata quebrada?
cib, cib, cib, caban - laviseselk
rupinuvitiave, i scratch myself
gently and go to the streets
uninterpreted and holding a book
or a fabric of buried worms
where i read that in 1901 the Prince of Wales
while touring in Gloucestershire
lunched at Norton Park, the home of an elderly widow
Mrs John Biddulph Martin.
Norton is Liz, Bolaño's 2666 secondary centre of gravity.
A park, a park, me, sleeping amid someone else's books
reading without tears
no interpretation in Green Lanes, just the Black book,
heavy and about Mrs Biddulph - Mme Satan
(she spoke languages).
