for A.K.

"Since its movement engenders
and dissolves them all"

subsistence or substance
forms the content

back into itself
being-in-and-for-itself

words joined by hyphens often
correspond to a single German word

anything that exists emerges (recollects)
its reflection seems to be lost

self-identity, however, is pure abstraction
thereby essentially a thought

but this is thinking
the cunning assurance of

saying I might finally be
in the end a human being

saying this nothing
or at least false

saying rightly saw the moving principle
the negative, the defect, the void
