MOOT (MUTE) POINTS

I.
Moot points are also ‘mute’ points, remaining silent,
in the speculative (specular) rhetoric in-between Real
and Irreal ‘things’ … Unsayable, they remain unsaid
only because to say them would violate their sanctity
-- viz., their unsayability for/toward being said …

II.
Such things, which are not things because they are
otherwise than said (or, as Levinas might have said,
otherwise than being-said), or, quite simply, silent
things passing in the night/ether of words never
crossing the threshold, crossing into the place of
Annunciation …

III.
To be silent before such things (not-things) is to
honor the unspoken beauty of (im)possible scenarios,
such that (truly) haunt/plague Being and such that
(contingently) consist of dreams out of Time …

IV.
The Real and Irreal, thus, are one (commingle), while
they are also two -- a contrapuntal dance of the
possible and the impossible, and origin of the
necessity of circumnavigating (circumambulating) all
things to find/see the multiple agencies inhabiting
what passes as/for the Real (e.g., the Imaginary, dark
or darkening, the Temptation and the seduction, the
figure and its milieu/other, dream and illusion, Love
and pain …) …
