the Sekhu (or body)

Matthew Ross Davis

"Number seven is Sekhu, the Remains."
--William S. Burroughs
The voices read the following mesostic, written using the key word "William Seward Burroughs" and writing through some of the final paragraphs from his book "The Western Lands".: 

             the old Writer unpacked the machine
       formulated a sIlent
                    aLive
           the fulfilLment of his wish
                  a wInter tornado
  rip the universe apArt
            let it coMe down

             see the Snow
                    rEach out
                 the Winter crystals closer
          incredibly A scratch
         chittering cRy
          slides the Door open and blackness pours in

            what can Be done with words
mustached scimitars hUnt tigers
                  ivoRy balls with
     sides and the tiRed fuchsia
                   shOps selling english
                fortnUm tea apes clinging always
               in tanGier
                    sHadows are falling
                 pleaSe it is time
