The flower necklace,

she throws it away, doesn't want --


to be manacled.
Novel "Midnight's Children" (1981, Salman Rushdie), chapter 2-5 "Love in Bombay"

Collection "Low gear"

Everything flows, a coming
and going of opportunities
Flags blow everywhere
but I don't put poles
of certainty around me

My work and my relationships
are fluid, my fate
is not in my hands
not even in the lines
that fortune tellers read

Pleasure for myself
idealism for all
between the flippers and
the facades of the day and
the dreams of the night

The flippers of catastrophes
and consequences bang
on the bonces of power
the wheels of money and
the cannonballs of contempt
Heraclitus (Ephesus, 535-475)

"Panta rhei": "everything flows" like water

"Panta chorei": "everything changes place" through the "Pyros Tropai", the "turnings of (the eternal) fire"

Mama, of course, conceded
sometimes, not often
I hope, out of love
      
being a little bit less mutual
for the moment

I didn't know anything about that
I was romantic
did not think about children
      
awakened by tumult
in the parental bedroom

At home was safe, I didn't pay attention
to those other women
available to men's eyes

that was a different world
of advertising and loveless ***

but now I notice, I see
female bodies
as human bodies
      
only having themselves
as owner

I am that I am
And I have none to blame if I end up lame
I am not the same
My transformation is persistent and I've won the game
I have conquered myself...

I am a creativist
Words are keys I play when my guitar is not weeping
I swim in ink as I think deep
Drinking on the brink of slumber and words keep me from sleeping

The depth of my thoughts is beyond human comprehension.
I am more than a poet.
If you take a journey in my mind you will get lost
I’m empowered to create so I don’t think like the rest!
Nobody knows you, even your parents don't know who you are. Go ahead surprise your self and the world around you. Up-rise and become what you really are.
