Blues of People

In imitation of for love, Juliana Spahr

If he or she is clumsy in places, those are clumsy places
and when he or she says I have a lover or a husband or a wife, we or I feel sad,
or is it just clumsy?
can't one make it simple, or at least simpler?
or why can't it be that way for just one moment?
I am writing this on a hip pocket pad, a waterproof one
but I am not crying, never crying
and it never rains when or where in some northern or southern or western

or eastern city I am writing
to tell you I've got a crush on you
cootchi coo
the waterproof cost me extra
the words are extra; they don't come with the pad
the crush, the love is extra
and you are extra.
oh, wake up.


note: nobody "has"...this is ? 'clumsy'..

Genesis - Visions of Angels

Standing in a forest, gazing at the sun
Looking at the trees but there's not even one
See a rippling stream that smiles and then goes by
Run to feel its comfort but the water's dry

I see her face and run to take her hand
Why she's never there I just don't understand
The trumpets sound my whole world crumbles down

Visions of angels all around
Dance in the sky
Leaving me here
Forever goodbye

As the leaves will crumble, so will fall my love
For the fragile beauty of our lives must fade
Though I once remember echoes of my youth
Now I sense no past, no love that ends in love

Take this dream, the stars have filled with light
As the blossom glides like snowflakes from the trees
In vengeance to a God, no-one can reach

Visions of angels all around
Dance in the sky
Leaving me here
Forever goodbye

Ice is moving and the world's begun to freeze
See the sunlight stopped and deadened by the breeze
Minds are empty, bodies move insensitive
Some believe that when they die they really live

I believe there never is an end
God gave up this world its people long ago
Why she's never there I still don't understand

Visions of angels all around
Dance in the sky
Leaving me here
Forever goodbye

Visions of angels all around
Dance in the sky
Leaving me here
Forever goodbye

Visions of angels all around
Dance in the sky
Leaving me here
Forever goodbye

Martin Heidegger, To be a poet

“To be a poet in a destitute time means: to attend, singing, to the trace of the fugitive gods. This is why the poet in the time of the world's night utters the holy.”

Martin Heidegger, If I take death

“If I take death into my life, acknowledge it, and face it squarely, I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life - and only then will I be free to become myself. ”

Martin Heidegger, Why is love

“Why is love beyond all measure of other human possibilities so rich and such a sweet burden for the one who has been struck by it? Because we change ourselves into that which we love, and yet remain ourselves. Then we would like to thank the beloved, but find nothing that would do it adequately. We can only be thankful to ourselves. Love transforms gratitude into faithfulness to ourselves and into an unconditional faith in the Other. Thus love steadily expands its most intimate secret. Closeness here is existence in the greatest distance from the other- the distance that allows nothing to dissolve - but rather presents the “thou” in the transparent, but “incomprehensible” revelation of the “just there”. That the presence of the other breaks into our own life - this is what no feeling can fully encompass. Human fate gives itself to human fate, and it is the task of pure love to keep this self-surrender as vital as on the first day.”
