blue meringue by Summer 2000

what is blue meringue? it speaks to the concept of returning.
physically, mentally, emotionally
returning: revisiting, coming back to –
another meditation on death and rebirth,
tangled & nested ideas unearthed & planted, watered & tended,
a homecoming both comforting and strange,
where inescapable monotony becomes inevitable tragedy
and back to tedium once again
the inherent asymmetry of the path taken,
and the uncertainty of where "point A" really was/is. and
returning: passing back to, giving back –
plumbing the unimaginable depths that a function can take you
when defined in terms of itself.
