    And there ain’t
    gonna be
    any more
    sad parties
    between us two
    because I’m
    gonna forget
    what I want
    till I see
    what I want
    is you.

    Those Everlasting Blues, Alfred Kreymborg

  • no wind can hold me



    Don’t pull the trigger, squeeze it—

    squeeze between heartbeats.   

    Look down the sights. Don’t   

    hold your breath. Don’t hold   

    anything, just stop breathing.

    Level the scene with your eyes. Listen.

    Soft, now: squeeze.

    […]

    no wind

    can hold me   let me   let me

    go   i can see   yes

    o aperture o light   let me   off

    go off   straight is my verb   straight   

    my glory road   yes   now i can   feel

    it the light i am flame

  • AG2019_1530274a or dreams a bliss on this side death


    And is the heart of youth so light,

    Its step so firm, its eye so bright,

    Because on its hot brow there blows

    A wind of promise and repose

    From the far grave, to which it goes;

    Because it hath the hope to come,

    One day, to harbour in the tomb?

    Ah no, the bliss youth dreams is one

    For daylight, for the cheerful sun,

    For feeling nerves and living breath—

    Youth dreams a bliss on this side death.

    […]

    It hears a voice within it tell:

    Calm’s not life’s crown, though calm is well.

    ‘Tis all perhaps which man acquires,

    But ’tis not what our youth desires.

    Youth and Calm, Matthew Arnold
