i stole this, this is the truth, and it is difficult

faro....

i
am so
full
of all

i am so empty
of
every thing

i wish
my heart
of fire,
naked,
could run.

and you
would not fear
nor destroy
but protect
and shield the flame

i wish
i could cover
your loneliness
and warm
your cold feet

which must
walk the earth
and cross
fields of stones.
i do not
want them hurt

now
i run
naked
in the dark
dancing
between the trees
of my forest

Corcubion is here.
I am the faro
exposed
to the cruel wind
and to the sea

and to the white shit
from seagulls
laughing from above
about my
selfishness.

who am i
that i want
to stay.

when i reach there,
there is not there.

this is all
and nothing.
this is nothing
and all.

Platero and me....

 there is a wonderful thistle in my mouth. it tickles me.

Centaur reading

if you want to nourish a bird

If you want to nourish a bird, you should let it live any way it chooses. Creatures differ because they have different likes and dislikes. Therefore the sages never require the same ability from all creatures. . . concepts of right should be founded on what is suitable. The true saint leaves wisdom to the ants, takes a cue from the fishes, and leaves wilfulness to the sheep.

Beatles - "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" Lost Jeremy Verse

Picture yourself in a boat on a river 
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies 
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly 
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes 

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green 
Towering over your head 
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes 
And she's gone 

Lucy in the sky with diamonds 
Lucy in the sky with diamonds 
Lucy in the sky with diamonds 

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain 
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies 
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers 
That grow so incredibly high 

Newspaper taxies appear on the shore 
Waiting to take you away 
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds 
And you're gone 

Lucy in the sky with diamonds 
Lucy in the sky with diamonds 
Lucy in the sky with diamonds 

Picture yourself in a train in a station 
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties 
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile 
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes 

Lucy in the sky with diamonds 
Lucy in the sky with diamonds 
Lucy in the sky with diamonds 

Lucy in the sky with diamonds 
Lucy in the sky with diamonds 
Lucy in the sky with diamonds 

Lucy in the sky with diamonds 
Lucy in the sky with diamonds 
Lucy in the sky with diamonds

the fire
out of which
i am born
is inside

the fire
through wich i was born
is outside.

when i walk
through fire
i see light

i see light outside
i see light inside
i breathe.

i see ashes
rising in the wind.
i let them go.

there are
no feet
but i dance.

there is
no house
but me.

and
there are
wings of light.

i spread
my feathers.
i am free

first cigarette in the office, first day of sun

heart of a child

Zen is to have the heart and soul of a little child.

Takuan



I will forget words.There is no other way.

Dr.F.

but i am nothing

but
i am
nothing
but
a raindrop
falling

i
will
kiss
the
earth

then
i
will disappear
with
the sun

but
to
return

if you're going to try....C.Bukowski

"If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery — isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is."

- Charles Bukowski

Paolo Fresu & Uri Caine - Sì Dolce è Il Tormento

it is beautiful when it is

it is
beautiful
when
it is.

that
is all.
as long
as
it is,
it is beautiful.

for a long time
i had kept my dog
in the house,
my heart.

the roof
kept it dry,
the walls
kept it safe.

sometimes
i opened
a window
to give it
air
and to make
it taste the grass.

sometimes
i took it on the leash
for a short walk.
it feared to run
and followed lamely.

i felt
deep compassion
and i broke
down the house.
we walked out
free,
a couple
hand in hand

it started to jump
and run
and it got wild
and i had to follow.
i did.

we met
another couple.
the hearts
sniffed each other
and we observed.

the dogs appeared
in peace,
we observed.
we cared
guarding the dogs.

then we misunderstood
each other
and the dogs barked.
we started to shout.

four voices
in dissonance.
too much for four ears.

should we educate the dogs
or ourselves?
it started with us.
we didn't listen.

i have no character,
she is a sociopath.
i destroy myself,
she wants to die.

now we have
to pet the dogs.
will they
stay calm?

and can
we take out
the dogs again?
i have no house
to return to.

i walk
in the forest
and the owls hoot.
i stay with my dog
all night
out there,
one blanket.

i try to catch
a shooting star
to bring her light.
she doesn't see.

she will not.
i cannot
penetrate
confusion.

i pet my dog
and wait.
there is nothing else
to do.

when it is beautiful
it is
beautiful.

i will
stay out
for the night.
there is no house.

i will wait
for her
and for
her dog.
the dog
knows best.

Paolo Fresu - Richard Galliano - Jan Lundgren "Mare Nostrum"

went looking, he was out

i don't care
what you call it
heart
mind
reason
death
life

nothing is
reasonable
about love.
the worst is
the i want

no love
if you need
to want.
no love
if you need
words.

i will be,
even crying
i will survive
as a child

i don't give up
i will not die
not now
i will rise

and soar
with broken wings.
i will go
and find

a shaman
to mend them.
he will be me.
i will look for him.

i met him there,
i  met him here.
he blows a whistle
and has brown eyes.

but you cannot,
cannot see his eyes.
