I had not slept. The journal lay open on the desk, its pages curling in the damp air. The phrase enabe disabe had become a splinter in my mind, a word that refused to be extracted. I whispered it aloud, and the syllables felt wrong in my mouth, like a foreign tongue that had been carved into my palate. The Japanese, the journal said, had understood the current without needing to name it. They had called it ki or prana or nothing at all, but they had never tried to burn it out with fire or drown it in neuroleptics. They had let it flow, and in that flow they had found a kind of immortality—not of the body, but of the thread that connected all things.

I thought of Kopernikas, who had insisted that the universe was a closed loop, a snake eating its own tail. He had drawn diagrams on the walls of his cell, circles within circles, and in the center he had placed a single point—the grail, he called it, the left-handed grace that could rewire the broken circuits of the brain. He had died, I was told, of a massive stroke brought on by the fire of his own conviction. But the journal in my hands, written in his hand, suggested otherwise. It suggested that he had simply stepped out of the loop, into the space between the lines, where the blue agony was not pain but a kind of music.
