#bernard
a quote of Bernard-Henri Lévy
~~~
the divers’ recovery, diverse,
shipwrecked salvage from different locations,
auctioned to the highest bidder,
tho the excised excerpts are exceptional,
none come to do the bidding,
for the provenance of words
belongs to all, and to none
~~
“so oft we trifle words,
expel them from the country of our body,
without passport and earnestness,
as if they were the cheapest of footnote filler,
day tourists, to be treated as leavings,
refuse for daily discardation,
barely noting their fast comings and faster disappearance,
but leaving not, a mark of distinction”
“the addicted pleasure words granted to we privileged few,
like every enslaved soul to the mind, which I am, I am,
evening dreams, midnight thinkings, sunrise seeings,
how can I infect and thus protect the young to the liberty
to love the crafted content of our human essence to better
comprehend that a moment caught on tape of our shared
words is a holiday, a celebration for the ages...and every molecule,
becomes a human tuning fork in concert, in pitch identical, in blood tainted with the simplicity of we are all the same, only words, this will transmit”
“murmur me, with soft downy charms,
these words discovered
recoursed and intended well to
pointedly offset and contradict
their very own tumultuous discovery uncovering,
tear tongue me
with calming, lapping word wages,
hymns harmonious and fine homilies,
a call, a request,
a bequest
to sedate my shrill life
“some cells, microscopic, preserved digitally,
aged to imperfection, thrash my eyes,
making me speak in tongues I do not recognize,
but fluently possess, no wonder there,
the memory place fairly empty,
room aplenty for passerby's and the imagery
of the vaguest of dearly departed
skin is not the only mot shed,
sloughing of woeful words”
“speak them slow and distinct,
for they arrive slow to you,
a trickling of refugees for your sheltering,
harbor them as full companions,
protected by natural law,
provision them well,
prepared and ever ready for a quick departure,
moor these words at the embarcadero,
for the next restless leg of endlessness,
which they themselves will inform you
will last longer than eternity,
long after there are no humans to speak them”

Reaching
Across a Canyon
is Easy,
when I'm too drunk to see the distance.
And sometimes I find myself
Drunk enough
to Fly across
to the other Side.
But in the sober morning
I look across
at you,
my arms tucked into my sides,
my wings disappeared,
and I wonder
if you'll Ever
reach across
for Me.

Maybe today I feel
More like ****** rap lyrics than art;
Like talking from my ******
Rather than my heart.
You told me
You'd **** me again when we got back.
We've been back for days,
Where's your **** at?

Sometimes, I think about you
and I have to
********** furiously
thinking of you and me.
Something about the way you
raised your eyebrows as greeting
Makes me suspect
it's a mutual feeling.

Be yourself
There is no one else
Be who you are
and say what you feel,
because those who mind don't matter,
and those who matter don't mind
And I don’t mind
I guess I Shouldn’t
cry because it's over,
But smile because it happened
It might overcome the sadness,
But i never quite escape the nostalgia…
How do you live,
With these broken memories in your head,
And happy feelings in your heart?
No one ever listens
How do I move on with the weight of my past on my back,
The comfort so welcoming
I always cry
Over the things that don’t matter
Hiding the hurt,
hiding the pain,
Hiding the tears that fell like rain…
So long ago, and yet,
Time is weird in my head
