“Up against another human being one’s own procedures take on definition.”/ Geryon was amazed at himself. He saw Herakles just about every day now./ The instant of nature/forming between them drained every drop from the walls of his life/ leaving behind just ghosts/ rustling like an old map. He had nothing to say to anyone. He felt loose and shiny./ (((Autobiography of Red, Anne Carson, p. 42)))

I came to explore the wreck./ The words are purposes./ The words are maps./ I came to see the damage that was done/ and the treasures that prevail./ I stroke the beam of my lamp/ slowly along the flank/ of something more permanent/ than fish or weed/ the thing I came for:/ the wreck and not the story of the wreck/ the thing itself and not the myth/ the drowned face always staring/ toward the sun/ the evidence of damage/ worn by salt and away into this threadbare beauty/ the ribs of the disaster/ curving their assertion/ among the tentative haunters./ This is the place./ And I am here, the mermaid whose dark hair/ streams black, the merman in his armored body./ We circle silently/ about the wreck/ we dive into the hold./ I am she: I am he/ {Diving into the Wreck: Poems 1971-1972 by Adrienne Rich}.
