When I write about myself

as I sit near the sill of my window; eyes of my home

the scent of jasmine tinges the air; my sensual bridge

that the bonfire blistering days of summer seasons approach me, I know

that the tiny rocks that rattle in the basin of my guitar

must be lonely and without sound to keep them company.

 

when I write I feel quaint

more so than thinking,

more so than living?

when I write about myself

I only tell the worst parts

and that keeps me hungry

where is the good?

 

knowledge cannot be attained

when one's mind is weary; give up the geist!

and revel in insanity. You will,

you will, always in time you will.
