I cherish every
word you give
me though
you give me not but a few, and
it's not the void,
the sparse, the lacking, the...
that brings me back and back under
tornadoed, pinched-off knees
weak through to plasm tenuous as
you shyly try to outcheshire the missing-out-
on-you-world but as a fool's fool I am unfoolable.
I've downloaded
the automatic refresher, and
purchased a yottabyte
hard drive so I might
divine genesis, gestation, birth: the
bell ringing your heart's hand-
maidens, and at what hour, what
angle of sunlight, I can see through
foreboding uncertainty,
through Beam courage holding
belief's straggling hand giving
us Heart we
just dug: letting the
cat out of your eyelash,
ringing the mys-
tery out of your skin,
airing into being a stranger I
know, whom
you carry in maze
goddesses enw(/t)ombed;
I pray you know-- to
gods divined wholly
in spirit, effigy, tribute, idolatry, through
saccharine lonely-fired castles
--that you might meet you, and we
might smile so big our
waxing, saltypink faces break off in-
to eternal combustion engine bread.
But this is myth:
ROYGBIV to pitch-white;
Lies under flashlight
hurt worse than sunbright
conspiring.
Losingfull loneliness
enlarges the heart in-
to authoritarian delusion.
Heart
subsumes every. Heart colors
Heart into blank. Warm does
not feel Cold. (Warm is
gullible)
"in the poetry of the poet and in the thinking of the thinker, there is always so much worldspace to share that each and every thing - a tree, a mountain, a house, the call of a bird - completely loses its indifference and familiarity." - martin heidegger

- "Seeing that before long I must confront humanity with the most difficult demand ever made of it, it seems indispensable to me to say who I am. Really, one should know it, for I have not left myself "without testimony." But the disproportion between the greatness of my task and the smallness of my contemporaries has found expression in the fact that one has neither heard nor even seen me. I live on my own credit; is it perhaps a mere prejudice that I live? ... I need only to speak with one of the "educated" who come to the Upper Engadine for the summer, and I am convinced that I do not live ... Under these circumstances I have a duty against which my habits, even more the pride of my instincts, revolt at bottom, namely, to say: Hear me! For I am such and such a person. Above all, do not mistake me for someone else!" - Nietzsche, Ecce Homo
