#3
About the body of the Father--which is about your body, too--almost all of both of you is immediately taken up into my father's metonymical body where the triunal integration of you--God, Priest, Father--is dismembered into parts of him that still stand in for entire fields of me where I am missing.
My father is missing.
So I keep asking, though not aloud, do you know what you are doing? The father as signification and as the end of signification, as law and as the end of law, the father's name, the father's no: he is so unwieldy. And so often absolute. Entire fields cleared, every limb of him erected in his stead--monuments, dwelling places, towers--where else am I to put you but in the places he prepared? And in such close quarters?
