  1. precipitate

    from the roil,
    from the boil,
    the slush of forgetfulness
    frothing; the casting
    vapor wafting off;
    a hard and shining dust
    in the bottom of the pan –
    for now, not now, too hot to touch,
    but when it cools –
    when it cools –
    we’ll learn what exactly
    was drifting around in there.

  2. Poem: Stay Away Stay Away

    Stay away stay away 
    Stay away, darkness around him
    Darkness around you all, stay away
    There's nothing fruitful in it
    There's nothing wholesome in it
    There's nothing shaking in it,
    Waiting to come out
    It's all a “white tomb” inside
    And broods “of vipers”
    It's all dust and death so
    Stay away stay away

  3. fingers in the spokes

    there is an allowable amount of horror;
    a simmer agreed upon,
    a subset of families dragged
    away in the night, a volume of dogs
    shot point-blank by the state;
    human is the excuse-making animal.
    given a slow enough stalking
    even a flimsy doe will turn and scream
    and kick; will try anything
    to alert, to defend.
    but our threshold are high.
    the factory consumes hands;
    every day, one or many –
    but so long as the product is good,
    who bothers to care?

    Αφορμή ένα ρόδο του εσωτερικού κήπου. Με την ευωδια το χρώμα και την ομορφιά του θύμισε ζωή. | SearchingTheMeaningOfLife

    Αφορμή ένα ρόδο
    του εσωτερικού κήπου.
    Με την ευωδιά
    το χρώμα
    και την ομορφιά του
    θύμισε ζωή.
    Ήρθε απο πέρασμα
    με την πνοή
    το φως
    και το άγγιγμα του αέρα
    των εξωτερικών παραθύρων.


    Αν και αόρατα στις αισθήσεις,
    μιας κι είχα την ίδια ταχύτητα
    κι όμως έθρεψαν ζωή.

  13. Once More With —

    his eyes went glassy, glassy, grazing
    out in the back nine, his fingers reaching
    down and plucking mustard
    like they used to retrieve tees;
    the man with placid face has
    gone delicious; gone divine;
    become something more than man,
    something less than food,
    something caught in
    history’s mouth, something
    ground in the gullet of a tale
    as old as time.

    […]Αργόσχολοι πλούσιοι  Την κλέβουν  Από εσένα, εσένα κι εμένα  Καμιά ιδιωτικότητα  Ώσπου να ξεγυμνωθούν οι ίδιοι […]

    [Hellas | Veria 2025]

    Έτσι για να παίξουν
    Την αθέατη εξουσία
    Αδιάκριτοι
    Αργόσχολοι πλούσιοι
    Την κλέβουν
    Από εσένα, εσένα κι εμένα
    Καμιά ιδιωτικότητα
    Ώσπου να ξεγυμνωθούν οι ίδιοι
    Να πληγωθούν όπως πλήγωσαν
    Έτσι ξαφνικά.

  23. kathy acker: get rid of meaning

    https://p-u-n-c-h.ro/koenigbooks/kathy-acker-get-rid-of-meaning/
    American author Kathy Acker was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. Working through an experimental and avant-garde tradition, she wrote numerous novels, essays, poems, and novellas from the early 1970s to the late 1990s. As a postmodernist, plagiarist, and post-punk feminist, she continues to inspire generations of writers, philosophers, and artists. The book GET RID OF MEANING, edited by Anja Casser and Matias Viegener, is the first comprehensive publication on Acker’s work from an artistic and literary perspective. It includes previously unpublished material from Acker’s personal archive and other collections. The publication is the compilation of a multipart research project including an exhibition and a symposium at Badischer Kunstverein in Karlsruhe.

  24. 7 Birds

    The pair of blue jays let me know each dawn when they want their unshelled peanuts, my voice gilded and held in their throats when I finally speak up and answer their call.

    For Nelson (May 16, 1944-July 13, 2005)

    If I would have my life to live over again,
    I would find an old stone wall in disrepair
    and I would spend my days seeking the tumbled
    down stones hidden in the grass.

    By day I would rebuild the wall. At night I
    would lie in its lee. I would not be afraid
    of the snakes and rodents disturbed from
    their dark places in the cracks between the
    stones where they sleep.

    And when my life came to an end and the wall
    was as yet unfinished, I would not moan. I
    would lay myself down against the rocks and
    let my body fade away into a place of rest in
    the cracks between the stones.
