A continuation of Spears's work-in-progress, set in the sci-fi/fantasy world of Mu. After the ultimate move in a game of Tarot the narrator has fallen into a deep trance, from which he is trying to awaken. He describes his experience in imagined letters to his Love.

“André Spears’s new poem beckons us to follow him down a familiar-looking rabbit hole. Concocted out of a generous mixture of Gene Wolfe’s science fiction, Ed Dorn’s humor, Gilles Deleuze’s philosophical excursions, a little bit of quantum physics for spice, and a unique sense of narrative purpose all his own, the poem draws us into a world of wild and unpredictable adventures in language. 'Foreclosing the Eternal Rerun,' as the narrator proposes, 'with a left-brain wedge,' Spears creates a world of words, the likes of which you will never enter again.” — Michael Boughn
