Poetics of Grotesque Alterity

Passing through the blue medium
The absolute other emerges
A face that is not a face sways
Infinite responsibility is born

Beyond the transparent membrane
A six-eyed being stands
Its gaze refuses understanding
And does not permit assimilation

The ethics spoken by the white person
Appears cloaked in a grotesque form
Transcending human shape
Resonating as a fundamental question

Crystal tentacles reach out
Flowing beyond the limits of perception
That which cannot be grasped
Harbors true alterity

Amidst the refraction of blue light
Different beings meet
Never becoming one
While maintaining an eternal distance

To be transparent
Is not to be see-through
The pure presence
Of the incomprehensible is there

That which comes from beyond existence
Neither fear nor pity
But simply as absolute difference
Standing in the silence
