Translation of page “K” from The Alphabet of Angels.
FOR CENTURIES I WANDERED SLEEPLESSLY over frozen mountains and lifeless oceans, through silent cities and neighborhoods, their museums, monuments and cathedrals; each laid out for me in a vast, flat grid, one curiosity for every square.
I climbed the Tower of Babel, removing each of its blocks, one by one, and laid them out on the desert floor. I dismantled Rafael’s School of Athens, brush stroke by brush stroke, chipping away its layers of color soaked plaster until nothing remained but an empty wall of grey. I weighed each stone of the Great Wall and reassembled them in the form of the ancient temples of Alexandria. I followed a single wave through all five oceans from beginning to end and rode a sandstorm across the desert then a breeze through a forest of aspens. I stretched out the rings of Saturn, measuring them each from end to end until they touched the sun.
Romano placed his hands on the table and opened his palms. In each I found nothing. My heaven was empty.
