i totally appreciate this allen. i guess what i got from it was how there is an opportunity to energize the gap between poem and title, and how that gap is (perhaps) recapitulated in the reality (from what i can ascertain) of the Rudrayamala being a lost text. there is also the implicity of the process inferred by the gap being like the process of the construction of a mangrove island (the gap being the "is-land") born by the accretion of perceptions or somesuch. all that kind of thing happens really fast when i write, so i suppose its not entirely valid, but from what i read you work along those same lines sometimes.* I also like radical geographic displacement within a single text, to find structural parallels say between tantric history and mangrove ecology, not to illustrate some telos, but just as a kind of model of 'some' process which might become actant as object or objet in some other 'native' system..
