A question of hs*

Are you hungry. No, I ate.
Are you angry. No, I hate

* Thanks to Michael Cunningham

Weathered

Going slow is the way to go.

But if going down, do it fast
Go out with a blast.

I can hear him

Everytime someone puts on a mask in this world
Dionysus laughs.

Roses are red

at a street, Stockholm

Every other Guy

Fawkes would be proud.

Anthesteria

I sleep very little and each day I wake closer to madness.

Do not you understand?

I love you with no me in it.

The everlasting pain

He opened the box. The things inside of it did not hurt anymore. That hurt.

Evil

To do is not to be.

Dispersed

I have no feelings of my own

First,

I saved my body
and
then
my body saved me.

the power to make someone happy is a terrible one.

secretkeeper: a gift

...so, all the rivers flow to me
and I flood no land.

Note to self

Before you plunge, know the horizon.

A hundred posts

Discourse, which belongs to the essential state of Dasein's Being and has a share in constituting Dasein's disclosedness, has the possibility of becoming idle talk.

I confess(ionalism)

My mind is not right



Robert Lowell (March 1st, 1917 - September 12th, 1977)

Skunk Hour

(for Elizabeth Bishop)

Nautilus Island's hermit
heiress still lives through winter in her Spartan cottage;
her sheep still graze above the sea.
Her son's a bishop. Her farmer
is first selectman in our village;
she's in her dotage.

Thirsting for
the hierarchie privacy
of Queen Victoria's century,
she buys up all
the eyesores facing her shore,
and lets them fall.

The season's ill--
we've lost our summer millionaire,
who seemed to leap from an L. L. Bean
catalogue. His nine-knot yawl
was auctioned off to lobstermen.
A red fox stain covers Blue Hill.

And now our fairy
decorator brightens his shop for fall;
his fishnet's filled with orange cork,
orange, his cobbler's bench and awl;
there is no money in his work,
he'd rather marry.

One dark night,
my Tudor Ford climbed the hill's skull;
I watched for love-cars. Lights turned down,
they lay together, hull to hull,
where the graveyard shelves on the town. . . .
My mind's not right.

A car radio bleats,
"Love, O careless Love. . . ." I hear
my ill-spirit sob in each blood cell,
as if my hand were at its throat. . . .
I myself am hell;
nobody's here--

only skunks, that search
in the moonlight for a bite to eat.
They march on their soles up Main Street:
white stripes, moonstruck eyes' red fire
under the chalk-dry and spar spire
of the Trinitarian Church.

I stand on top
of our back steps and breathe the rich air--
a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the garbage pail.
She jabs her wedge-head in a cup
of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,
and will not scare.

Robert Lowell
