This page frames violence and struggle as a rotating field of body, weapon, cross, blood, and circular control.
The page reads like compressed battle theology. The body and the circle matter as much as the knife or gun, so conflict becomes both material and ritual, something physical and symbolic at the same time.
Titled 'Emperical', the prose-block stages combat as a rotating field of 'the wheeling of body', 'the disection', 'the cross', 'the knife, the jagged bottle, the / gun', all fighting 'for con- / trol of the circle', so violence becomes both material and ritual.
