Art History With the Infinite Being, or, Blood in the Water


Somewhere, sandwiched between
Male children being fed to snap jawed alligators and
Egyptian magicians poisoning their own water with
Red dripping liquid, (where does non-life come from?), this we know:
Blood was retrieved and
The Nile was poisoned with too much life, (if you could remember the future
You would know: “The life of the flesh is in the blood[1],” and with this knowledge
You would have the power to wonder
Who was atoning for what?)




[1] Leviticus 17:11
