MovingPictures: The Phantasmic Turn

I am Become Death

   "Death toys with life, life toys with death. Which of the two succumbs? It is not we who defend ourselves against death, it is death that defends itself against us" - J.B.

For I certainly am me, but not Me;
I am me and yet non-me.

Resembling the lustful entwining of client and prostitute - false lovers in shame of their union.

For I certainly am I, but not I;
I am I and yet non-I.

Resembling the paranoid tip-toeing of unfaithful partners - false lovers in horror of their shadows.

For I certainly am;
and yet I am not.

Resembling the  beautiful tragedy of dysfunction - false lovers in denial of their irreconcilability.
