 “And the ancient order of love and engagement

The “Aman Name” of sorrowful lecturers

And the unreturned oath and magic of dust…”

Setting a different appointment with other words in expressing what the poet wants to indicate. An image of the oldest type of being is brought to the present time and the more we advance, the more we find out that the words act with no tongue (i.e. they themselves show the meanings) and that they are farther in the mind known time.

We begin with ancient and the ancient order; get discharged in a universal space of engagement and love. We get the “Aman Name” in its opposite description of identity that is added up with characteristic “sorrowful” ,like a closed image of a picture and after that we enter a world from an endless time in a way covered like the cosmos-“oath and magic of the milky hung non-returning from dust”-.                                                                                       We observe these words and images in the present time from distant and indefinite tenses ,and all of these tasks look like making the most elementary words with the images that the poet wants to take advantage from the internal identity and the hidden energy in a hidden surface for being virgin and primitive -without using them for a specified tense-by drawing lines in the present time and after that discharging them in the present time.    

keeping the collection of images ready requires correct use of the words fertilized nucleus  and a language contrast that the poet makes it with the word ”again (second-timed)”.

 “In the hour it arises

Will get stretched

Vibrating on cheeks and the spoiler rotation of the skirt

You stop

, observe

, drink tea

And sit on the rainbow-like chair …”

reaching another conception with another Image from the word” hour” in a bed that turns to a movement instead of time, the “wave”-with its circular shape instead of the known shape of a wave and the bed in which it is born” sea”–is indicated in the bed of the “hour” by the language of the poet so that we get the meaning of the tense from the complexity of the “wave”. This image becomes stretched in the next line, its movement becomes more compressed and the volume of its existence reaches being fluid ,this fluid volume will be made to vibrate in a very limited-type bed and comes to its subjective role in the word “spoiler””- in the circular movement of the wave-type place of the characteristic of the conception of the reader from being overactive in the image of the ”skirt”-the role of the word construction changes immediately and its movements comes to a stop and after that in the next line ,we must experience observing, in the next line you drink tea and it returns to the fluid surface again and the poet separates it from the surface of evermore to make it act ….””Vibrating on the chair like a rainbow” and after that a pause of the movement for a moment so that we get involved in the active action and reaction of the words.           

A poet can get a separated grammatical role from a word –where he is chosen from being supernatural. He goes forward and explains it in images again in order to catch something from it and it becomes past participle right at the place of the subject and after that changes into the subject and turns into subject again. This means that a word is busily changing its grammatical and effective role in a bed of permanently limited words beautifully without causing a crack in the game.

This is the very activation of words when the method of selecting them is completely different from evermore. The poet brings a word out of the timelessness, records it again and places it in the elective frame of his eyes in order to use it in his favorite way not in a way in which the word exists. We take a look at the replacing of the grammatical roles in the lines above again.

 “he” has the grammatical role “subject” even when omitting the word in connotations for perceiving the sign of connective conception between the meanings “will get” and “stretched ” .A slight change occurs in the “vibrating” and “spoilers” and we get a three-tensed reflex in the three verbs “stop” ,”observe”, ”drink tea” and the word slightly returns to its  role “subject” and ”object” and in fact submits itself to changing the role and it is affected by the game of  language in “you sit” and ”vibrate” again.

The game is delicately designed so that the reader doesn’t suspect the changing of his role over the surface of the game and he himself submits himself to this role changing and in fact accompanies it. The role changing must be accompanied with signs from a level to other levels and I will talk about it in the part which is related to the signs.

these samples are enough and I want to proceed to the next part with saying the point that words and words construction- which have the internal and outer identity -can affect with their simplest shape so that the reader will be able to  put himself in the domain of the presence of the words easily, and a work must become activated in other language processes so that the word will be able to take a seat for itself in the capabilities of indefinite tenses and in fact it is more suitable  to say “stays connected” and submits himself to producing  ,acting and reacting  inside the text-a bed that a work turns to creating spaces in itself and also turn to be discovering other images.
