Dreamcatcher's Hazard

Norwegian: ”Og kjærligheten ble verdens opphav og verdens hersker; men alle dens veier er fulle av blomster og blod, blomster og blod.” TRANSLATED BY ME: English: "And love turned out to be the origin of the world and its master; but all of its roads are filled with flowers and blood, flowers and blood."

Knut Hamsun's 'Victoria' (1898) on love
A Letter To My Aunt Discussing The Correct Approach To Modern Poetry To you, my aunt, who would explore The literary Chankley Bore, The paths are hard, for you are not A literary Hottentot But just a kind and cultured dame Who knows not Eliot (to her shame). Fie on you, aunt, that you should see No genius in David G., No elemental form and sound In T.S.E. and Ezra Pound. Fie on you, aunt! I'll show you how To elevate your middle brow, And how to scale and see the sights From modernist Parnassian heights. First buy a hat, no Paris model But one the Swiss wear when they yodel, A bowler thing with one or two Feathers to conceal the view; And then in sandals walk the street (All modern painters use their feet For painting, on their canvas strips, Their wives or mothers, minus hips). Perhaps it would be best if you Created something very new, A ***** novel done in Erse Or written backwards in Welsh verse, Or paintings on the backs of vests, Or Sanskrit psalms on lepers' chests. But if this proved imposs-i-ble Perhaps it would be just as well, For you could then write what you please, And modern verse is done with ease. Do not forget that 'limpet' rhymes With 'strumpet' in these troubled times, And commas are the worst of crimes; Few understand the works of Cummings, And few James Joyce's mental slummings, And few young Auden's coded chatter; But then it is the few that matter. Never be lucid, never state, If you would be regarded great, The simplest thought or sentiment, (For thought, we know, is decadent); Never omit such vital words As belly, genitals and -----, For these are things that play a part (And what a part) in all good art. Remember this: each rose is wormy, And every lovely woman's germy; Remember this: that love depends On how the Gallic letter bends; Remember, too, that life is hell And even heaven has a smell Of putrefying angels who Make deadly whoopee in the blue. These things remembered, what can stop A poet going to the top? A final word: before you start The convulsions of your art, Remove your brains, take out your heart; Minus these curses, you can be A genius like David G. Take courage, aunt, and send your stuff To Geoffrey Grigson with my luff, And may I yet live to admire How well your poems light the fire.

. "That there Is'belle's house stinks wunderful turr'ble,"croaked Emma Beiler at their quilting bee. "Jah...vell," sighed Rosanna Yoder. "All them there katzes , ain't so?" Accordingly the two ladies set out to pay Travis and Isabella Salter a visit, only to be politely told that they had were in the process of taking some cats to a local shelter. Two weeks passed and to the Amish folks' disgust the odour had merely intensified. "Them there Englisch are chust liars!" Potato Sam spat the words out along with a *** of chewing tobacco. " Ach, vell," sighed  his wife Rosanna, unaware of her heavily sweating underarms. The Ordnung  strictly forbade deodorant as well as perfume. "Reckon I best  mosey over and see fur myself." Travis opened the door with a tired sigh. 'Chust thought I'de ask vhat fur stinks yer house up so vonderful tur'ble...Izzy tells us youse gettin' rid of them but-" A puzzled look crossed Travis weary face as he glanced toward the kitchen. Irritation gripped him, not lessened as Rosanna glowered at Tabby washing her face on the couch. Then a waft of a familiar scent, overpowering, drifted toward him from the kitchen. Brussel sprouts enhanced by -. With all the stress, Isabelle was increasing her calming herbs, mixing the powders.... Valerian? "Good evening, Mrs. Yoder." He motioned her toward the door, locking it firmly behind her. For a long time after she was gone he stood staring out the window.

[ Yeah ] But I would beg to differ Cause it would take [twice] the listen Care to listen? Just to see things Different And at the same time? Shuning the carnal mind's version of seeing Dou-ble Vision May call it [ Twinning ] Which is.. the true definition of being Dou-ble Minded So.. to combat this? I would just never Mind [It] ( meaning ) There's no rules or bars of Confinement For no 20 or Eye is missing from my INTUITION Raised suspicions? Well., Just hoping that you will tread.. carefully And stay Centered As you enter my center of words and.. penning As I write the vision I'll make it plain and simple No Subliminals Or either I'll keep it at minimal While maintaining the Visuals As usual As I keep on gaining in WISDOM

1-english I gargled solids much like boulders of the throat. Upon a dreadful goat, the lamb was slain in name of said reign. To diminish the waters drenching fields of green and brown, rugged earth, and jagged cliff. Up nor down no liquids found. I am placed to flummox the hard matter of dirt and swallow whilst hurt. 2-norwegian Jeg gurglet tørrstoff mye som blokker i halsen. Etter en forferdeliggeit, ble sauene drept i navn sa regjeringstid.

Laughter reaches new bounds When you ask/ax me " do I have pasketti on my face?" Like a wild aminal you crawl Over and smear that pasketti On my cheeks Like 60's rouge Never meant to leave the Avon catalog. cute comf-ta-ble sweaters Swath lithe body like soft down Byrds outside singing Dancing in green foil-age. Go join them, Eyes chatoyant and comely. With pasketti still on your face You chirp like them byrds, Such ebullience fits in with the robins.

Metathesis
Weaving words, so carefully. Every syl la ble, crafted. Spectacularly laced, though the unforgiving blue lines. Wonderfully chased by the deadly silent black pen. These words, meaning or no? Mischievous and deceiving. Or hopeful and believing? Where do they go? Where do they lead? Follow them, yet could they be seen? Fortitude and fragility. Miles apart, yet undeniably the same. In the world of words, it's all just a game. Coincidental rhymes, and sentimental times, or simplistic virtuosity, and complicated philosophy? These worlds in words, are never as they seem. But who are we to judge, when the words in the world are never what we mean?

Words
This is the part      where everything                         changes. This is the part          like an orchid                 requires patience. This is the part       where the universe                                     bends                       ¬                       and you fold                                                                the paper                                                         into                                            flowers. Cover me in chrysanthemums. This is the part         where our knees become inch worms      under the table. Cover me in dirt. This is the part       that   comes   on   slow   at   first       then       heavy       urgent       pulses       rush       through       us       adding       impulse       to       injury             manipulating     our insides               twisting        folding             contorting   every nerve             until they RIP. But the pieces don’t get rest. This is the part     where the lions roar     like violets showing their teeth     at the sun.     They nibble the flesh     without breaking     the skin.     It’s paper thin. This is the part     where I ball up my paper fists     and wrestle with the tiger lilies     while you remain at war with my tulips. This is the part     where we dig up the dirt     and we ruin us. This is the part     where the dandelions B U R S T     like supernovas     and suddenly ev-er-y     syll-a-ble            counts. You said     Everyone's b/ r/ o/ k/ e/ n in some way. You said     when you were young     you saw the miracle of birth for the first time     and you've been turned on     ever since. You saw life spring from the womb. I think I saw you mesmerized by the way things bloom. You tell me      about your birds and bees      like how getting your head rubbed      at the hair salon      turns you on. Well, this is the part        where I rub your head        and turn you on. This is the part      where I see your dark side      and learn the true meaning      of the blue in your eyes. This is the part      where you flip me over and tell me "Don't stop." I don't stop. Why would I stop? I can't stop. And     this          is           the              part                  where                         we                             fall   A        p           a         r            t. Tell me you don't want this. Tell me you don't want this    and I'll leave this bed of marigold and     change   my       form. Tell me you don't want this    and I'll never hold your gaze                                                           to¬o                     l   o    n      g                                        again. Tell me you don't want this      and I'll unfold myself from your side      along with the paper flowers.      You can take back the roses      **** the daises      but leave me the daffodils. Tell me you don’t want this      and our forget-me-nots      will forget us      and our bleeding hearts      will bleed us dry. Tell me you don't want this and I'll rewind the movie play it BACK from the beginning only this time we'll pay attention.      I'll silence the lions      and put them BACK in their cages.                                         I'll bend                       the universe          BACK into shape. But tell me you want this and this will be the part where we pick the paper petals                                                   off  the                                                            stem and                                                                       watch them                                                                                        fall like                                                                                                 cherry blossoms.                                                                  He loves me.                                                                                 He loves me not.                                                                      Forget me.                                                                                     Forget me not.

Ineffable
Alas! At the dawn time, Pinky sees Doe and Buck, Stiff on a gummy fold’ble pad: And each roll to 'scape each made, Stripped their skin so callous. Shortly, a bigger mice arrived, Not nosy, taily and clawly, Threaded fearsomely and made’way Dear Doe and Buck for life. (Flashback) Pinky: Oh Precious Father Why oust you and Doe alone, Long during dusk decend, Yet make us hide astaya’day? Buck: Curious and cutie Pinky, The world a’day; nice and bright, Is but an awaiting dreary ambush. And a’night: a bit dreary ambush. Doe and I: nosy, taily and clawly, Will make something in your belly stay. Pinky: Oh! Precious Mother, I’m nosy, taily and clawly. I can raid with you a’night, And swift through ambush a’day. Doe: Anxious and eager Pinky, A full fall from far a sky, Is as the voyage a’day. And a breath once expelled Is as the raid at night. You WILL a’day get crashed, And MAY a’night **** breath expelled. Buck: Curious and Anxious Pinky, The raid a’day and a’night, Is as the sides of fate coin: A home-hole return, Or a home-hole no return. Ding **** Oh Pinky, It’s time for our raid. More shall I learn you, If my side is home-hole return. (Off Flashback) Then whispered and cowered the other Watching mice:“The coin’s ‘no home-hole return."

NO HOME-HOLE RETURN
Why do I do this? To both you and myself? Why do I crave your approval? Why do I need your respect? Can't I just be strong? And move on? Nope. I still need someone to tell me I have potential. I still need someone to let me know i'll make it big one day. I still need someone to give me that little but of encouragement when I'm too hard on myself. I still need someone to sit me down and say, "I believe in you". I still need someone to give me advice. I still need someone to look up to. I respect you so much. We had our differences but all in all, you're still my role model. But to you, I'm nothing. Hurtful words roll off your tongue so beautifully. I don't understand! One day you think I'm amazing The next, you're telling me im just mediocre I may say your words are empty to me ....But I hang on to every last Sy-lla-ble

Apathy and Approval
~ her coach, like Cinderella’s, was what brought her to his side. but what she'd failed to see, is that a good man may not be, quite exciting as the bad boys way back home, so she packs up all her shoes n’make up, headed home where she can wake up. now its coach that takes her, and all he sees are fading lights; as that red-eye in his mirror is roaring, down the runway then is soaring, off into a stormy night. he used to think that fairy tales were promised, that all a woman really wanted, was a knight in armor shining. but now he knows that love can't grow, when all its seeds are tumble weeds, that roll on down the open road; just looking for a good time man, a handsome cowboy and another rodeo. now all he’s left with is, trying to make some sense of this; all her lying to him, why she left him crying for, all the good he thought she’d brought. but sometimes it takes some time in silence to see what damage has been done, to see the cold side of a woman, that all her prettiness and fun, is a terr’ble substitute for love.   he used to think that fairy tales were promised, that all a woman really wanted, was a knight in armor shining. but now he knows that love can't grow, when all its seeds are tumble weeds, that roll on down the open road; just looking for a good time man, a handsome cowboy and another rodeo. this i promise, know it well; good-time girls can’t cast a spell, that lasts a lifetime, when a fellow needs a love line, nor can they ever heave a lifeline, when all the chips are down. 'cause, when someone else is drowning, and everybody's yelling ’bout a fire the house is burning down. that’s when she does what she’s best at... running out of town. no, a good man needs a woman, who will always be around.   ~ *post script. please don’t ask where this one came from... he does love country music and it may just be one too many catastrophes he’s had to watch; it’s certainly not about his own woman, for she has been his privilege to love and care for now just shy of forty years.  no, maybe it's so many lives exploding, love imploding... sometimes it feels like so few know what love really looks like anymore!*
