The thickness of things

31 Saturday Jan 2015

≈ Leave a comment

Apache tears

Must bee seen

The crawling blade

That we believed to be the sea

Those bodies that were believed to feel

Untie their incredible prehistories

Like the water on dumb temple pilots

Inner excavation opens a garden of stones

They consent to silence

To the immobility of the leaves before the storm

For a wing to unfold in the light of aging

The bird in a metal flight

Comes like the rain through the observable

I am free cried the bird from love gripped

Just take what is alive

I will burn the stone

The wind mistaken wheat

Silence doesn’t disunite

His flesh in words of core aims and bends

Our intimate orchards

The line takes off

Cutting edges

Of the white hole in the gesture

No door for departure

Use only the faithful and naked Coal

I remember a lovely July

The pure echo of demolished walls

A foot, a wing in Buci

I remember my voice lost in other vocals

And Guillevic

I remember the thickness of things

The hand that holds

The blue abyss

Inks

We will go for tomorrow

Full of doubts and wheat

I wait as only shadow could

Surrounded by the sun

Look for a meaning to eclipses

Forget my decipherable shadow

Let only my stone bear down

No voice left to bend the other voices

My real world is silent

In the unexplored retread of me

Rises a metamorphic seed

The stone

And it birds weigh

There is a story that is told

Then the waves, the stunning waves

I have for her the obvious

Dead shoes

Unknown caramels

And perfumes from Edo

Ovid Metamorphosis and anthropomorphic nature

Ovid is ultimately more interested in the beginnings than the ends…The poems cannot be described as tragedies, this is partly because as in Ovid, Metamorphosis lets the characters off the hook, they are arrested in the moment of intense emotion and released into a visual, vibrant, colourful world of anthropomorphic nature.

To choose a sexual partner today is to choose a surface of redundancy that says: do you recognize me when I talk to you?

This redundancy of the me = me is a black whole which is nothing other than a star that captures  and emits no light.

Spinoza dirait: “Oui, nous pouvons porter secours à la tristesse, dehors, de l’autre côté, râteau à la main” … Parce que ce ne est pas évident que quelque chose émerge de la substance massive, dehors il y a l’énormité d’un instant d’expérience pure = ensemencement. C’est pourquoi j’aime la sculpture de Giacometti: En raison de son pouvoir plastique, je veux dire la puissance qui permet à quelqu’un de développer un procédé original et indépendant, à assimiler le passé, à guérir les blessures, réparer les pertes, et reconstruire sur son propre fond les formes brisées.

Spinoza said: “Yes we can HELP the sadness, out there, in the other side, rake in the hand”…Because it’s not obvious that something emerges from the massive substance, outside there is the huge moment of pure experience = seeding. That’s why I love giacometti’s sculpture: Because of its plastic power, I mean the power that allows someone to develop an original and independent process to assimilate the past, heal the wounds, repair the losses, and reconstruct on his own background the broken shapes.

Israel Eliraz in one of his poems wrote “the earth is not interested in anything that is not seed” and it’s ture, flourishing is the condition of man, capturing the spirit through the body is to put back the man on his feet and dance with the time.

Israel Eliraz dans un de ces poèmes écrit ceci : «  la terre ne s’intéresse à rien qui ne soit semence » et effectivement l’arborescence telle est la condition de l’homme,  saisir l’esprit au travers du corps c’est remettre l’homme sur ses pieds et danser avec le temps.

BY accepting that a perfectly simple idea can not be false, what does it means simple if not form?
