Untitled ("Later it came in a room all of us would like")

A compressed closing gesture that brings the book's title logic back into contact with Christ, force, and judgment.

The poem returns the collection to its opening coordinates — Hitler, Christ, the River Snake — but now in a room 'all of us would like,' which transforms political evil into something domesticated and desirable. The claim that 'Hitler has no door in this measurement' suggests a moral mathematics in which certain evils simply do not fit the available frames.

The Centaur standing along the River Snake is the poem's most mythological image — half-human, half-animal, positioned at a boundary. It suggests that judgment itself requires a hybrid perspective, neither fully rational nor fully instinctive.
