Dream of Life. (thanx Melanie!)


   "Violet Dusk

Autumn dusk, violet...
Two poplars, in the background, in silhouette:
--Apostles in vestments of violet--
The whole town violet.

Autumn dusk, violet...
Lazy, frivolous people in the street;
The whole crowd looks violet,
The whole town violet.

Autumn dusk, violet...
From the tower, war-lords in the plain, long-haired;
Forefathers pass in troupes of violet,
The whole town violet."

--George Bacovia


Our momentary feat, of putting everyone on wheels, rendered unthinkable else, & the cornerstone of every philosophy. Stubborn music, among the mute and uncontested winds.


    "Super Fat Tuesday" (Pessoa II.)

Bring the waking dream severe delight
and closed eyes fled from out this severed scene (seen)
will rise and gather sustenance from insight.
Our Rubicon has not yet flown. Take sunscreen
into the valley (which is a state of being);
take ammo of truth (all you believe, is lies).
There's Aceldama beyond all dime foreseeing
and i did not invent these trilobite eyes,
up a creek and cased in concrete dreadnought:
i drove through, and took all night. You see,
i only found out late.
                Ignore this rot.
The Way Through came in a dream, and said to me,
"Only lately forgotten, nor buried deep,
are those we've wronged, and this is why we weep."
