“These graphisms are original forms. They are ‘signifiers’ with no ‘signified,’ though that does not mean that they could be described as arbitrary… They serve as support, as ‘empty structure,’ so that the other, the one within, might fill each empty signifier with his own signifieds and build his own story…



I ‘write’ (inscribe) my books, which are perfectly illegible, and that tenuous structure of ‘emptinesses’ is filled when the ‘reader’ comes along; it is not until that point that it could be said that what I ‘write’ constitutes a ‘message’ and the ‘empty signifiers’ signs.”

- Mirtha Dermisache

- Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, 1922.

_{THURSDAY MARCH 19 1222P}

DEATH IN V PARTS

I

HOW SMALL CAN I GET (?)
BEFORE I DISAPPEAR (?)
I LOOK AT DIRT
I LOOK AT COFFINS
(THE END IS ALWAYS NEAR)
SEE FATE WITHOUT FEAR

II

EVERYTHING IN TIME
EVERYTHING IN COLOR
TO LIVE, TO LEAVE
TO NEVER HAVE ANOTHER

III

DID IT SO IT’S DONE
NOW IS IN THE PAST
TOO CLOSE TO THE END
AFRAID WE CAN’T GO BACK

IV

DON’T / WON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS
UNTIL IT HAPPENS
DON’T / WON’T KNOW WHAT WE HAVE
UNTIL IT’S TRAGIC

V

I HAD TOO MUCH TO THINK TODAY
I FORGET TO REMEMBER
THEY NEVER STOP COMING
MAYBE SEE YOU TOMORROW
