the flat cuts
the flat wraps
the flat stretches
the flat borders
the flat contains
the flat is transparent
the flat is always truth

the flat can be painted on
but only the flat can clean the flat

the flat can be layered upon
the flat
upon the flat

the flat is covered
in hundreds of oppressions, thousands of histories
of veil. the flat is the raped virginal pale
(eternal) out-of-time forever instant
return.

the flat offers to the human
but the flat is opposed to all that is human.
the flat beckons the spirit,
but the flat, being immobile, requires abandon.

the flat is not a glaze;
it is what remains when the glaze is washed away
the flat is not representational or abstract
the flat is that upon which representations and abstractions
are
foisted.

the flat is that with which the architecture of space is scaffolded.
