even a week is sometimes      not enough to recuperate from a novel -     something has borrowed too much time and expects its worth a miracle of a penny found on the road of the eternal walker: long the road toward a majesty of the riches...           whatever novel it might be - and with it,    a paralyzing ****** of doubts - whether sober or intoxicated, not even when: wine and music and a book of poetry suffices... just like now: Beethoven, kalimotxo, and the preferred gems by Frank O'Hara to suit the music... chez jane and blocks... if ever there is something missing in terms of Beethoven: it's a voice reading a poem,   but not reading it, not like a Beatnik who would read in the furore of jazz in the past century...    anything more than what is still not a whisper... and like some farce of the sword of Damocles... the pen of Dickens...         not the labours of a novel, no... not the month's long journey into the labyrinth... music and drinking simultaneously with a novel will never work... but a poem can... my god... some wine some classical music and... words...    when there's music and wine who needs words like labyrinths when:   just on the tip of the hour's passing: a bird in the form of a poem... all i can say in the most mundane phrasing...    but i have capitulated all prior to thrill and audacity for a novel...    a month's labour: and silence...    a soul in such hiding... feels hardly a thought necessary to reinvent itself in its prior activity:    an mingling of wine and music and words: come and go... like all novels:   as much an accomplishment of the writer, as an "accomplishment" of the reader... and is it so wrong to not be agitated with emotion that: a month's worth of base arithmetic sentences - the logic of: once upon a time                as the logic: the end... sanctity of prose:   that sensible nature of that sensible afternoon   of that sensible life,    of that: unlived crucifix       of a shadow's confiscate; routine and sitting akimbo on some far removed stage:   of a sea knocking on the door of earth - seeking rhythm -                           or a heart. as mundane as this language: i'm not going to find a different language to change this evening, even though not awe: or relief... but a paralyzing doubt has overpowered me... and, come to think of it: that's still much more than a heart's worth of sitting's comforts in         the armchair of apathy.

the Quill of Dickens: an observation by Ibai Dalit
even a week is sometimes      not enough to recuperate from a novel -     something has borrowed too much time and expects its worth a miracle of a penny found on the road of the eternal walker: long the road toward a majesty of the riches...           whatever novel it might be - and with it,    a paralyzing ****** of doubts - whether sober or intoxicated, not even when: wine and music and a book of poetry suffices... just like now: Beethoven, kalimotxo, and the preferred gems by Frank O'Hara to suit the music... chez jane and blocks... if ever there is something missing in terms of Beethoven: it's a voice reading a poem,   but not reading it, not like a Beatnik who would read in the furore of jazz in the past century...    anything more than what is still not a whisper... and like some farce of the sword of Damocles... the pen of Dickens...         not the labours of a novel, no... not the month's long journey into the labyrinth... music and drinking simultaneously with a novel will never work... but a poem can... my god... some wine some classical music and... words...    when there's music and wine who needs words like labyrinths when:   just on the tip of the hour's passing: a bird in the form of a poem... all i can say in the most mundane phrasing...    but i have capitulated all prior to thrill and audacity for a novel...    a month's labour: and silence...    a soul in such hiding... feels hardly a thought necessary to reinvent itself in its prior activity:    an mingling of wine and music and words: come and go... like all novels:   as much an accomplishment of the writer, as an "accomplishment" of the reader... and is it so wrong to not be agitated with emotion that: a month's worth of base arithmetic sentences - the logic of: once upon a time                as the logic: the end... sanctity of prose:   that sensible nature of that sensible afternoon   of that sensible life,    of that: unlived crucifix       of a shadow's confiscate; routine and sitting akimbo on some far removed stage:   of a sea knocking on the door of earth - seeking rhythm -                           or a heart. as mundane as this language: i'm not going to find a different language to change this evening, even though not awe: or relief... but a paralyzing doubt has overpowered me... and, come to think of it: that's still much more than a heart's worth of sitting's comforts in         the armchair of apathy.
