constantly attempting to carve away all of the mountains in its path.

.

tributaries, gullies, streams.

2 streams meet at a confluence: curves, known as meanders.



A river does not just flow, it changes the surface of the Earth.

Wild Eyes

.

This morning at 4:00 a.m. I woke up to the blaring porch light shinning at me through my window from across the parking lot behind my room.

I was thinking about the river, the mucky green color of the water and the bare light bulbs above the plastic screen doors, covered in flies, mosquitos, nats at night like a moth to a flame and then I was thinking about the back deck of the lake house, moss on the black metal, the sound the insects make in the night.


I used to spend so many hours in those waters. I thought about my swimsuits, the two pieces the one pieces, my lungs sometimes aching from so much swimming, my reflection in the sliding glass door, my friend telling me I had a pretty body:

becoming conscious of my body,


the leaking pools of youth.


I felt my heart racing and I knew I was a child.


Today I felt my eyes racing and I thought I was a child for a second there and then I felt this separation in my head, separated by the time and the distance and the everything in between now and then, I felt like a child in another person’s body: becoming conscious of my body.


When I was a child I always used to imagine that one day I could wake up as someone else, with the same mind but in a different body. I remember that I figured that it must be so close and so easy to just switch like that because all that was separating us was skin and I felt like the power of my soul was enough to jump out and go anywhere.


I suppose that in a way we choose what we remember and I don’t know why I choose to remember what I do. In the moment of the separation my life was flashing before my eyes: the plastic trays of cafeterias, the white tea and the woman from the green café who picked lilacs from my front yard and told me how to boil the water to steep the leaves without burning them, the summer heat, the intensity, the girl who threw that rock at my car.


I was thinking about my father and about my mother and how I am the child of the river and the waves of the great lakes.


I was the child of the river and the waves of the great lakes.

Like a carrot I will be everything God can’t see

Oh, what do I mean

God can see everything

I mean the angels, I mean the half-gods

I mean the flowers, don’t ever let them see me live forever

Don’t you ever let them see

That I am all root here in the ground

Estados Unidos debe ser un país lindo porque todas las canciones de amor que escucho en el taxi cuando voy a lugares están en inglés, y vienen de Estados Unidos.

Canciones de amor increíbles como de un planeta insondable.

todas las canciones de amor me gustan

todas las canciones de amor me gustan

The world had been created to comprehend itself

as matter: table, the torn
veils of spiders ... Even consciousness—
missing my love—

was matter, the metal box of a furnace.
As the obligated flame, so burned my life ...

What is the meaning of this suffering I asked
and the voice—not Christ but between us—
said you are the meaning.

No no, I replied, That
is the shape, what is the meaning.
You are the meaning, it said—


.



Isn’t it always like this?
Something uncontrollable becomes the hero,
Taking off its dress, the ice plants
Sunburn from the center out
So we can see that their deaths

Of splendid rust and yellow are not ours,
We are allowed again the glare
Of the sand, the druid hills,
The grasses brushing the legs, though
Just to have felt it once would have been enough.

"It happens very often that a man has it in him, that a man does something, that he does it very often that he does many things, when he is a young man when he is an old man, when he is an older man. One of such of these kind of them had a little boy and this one, the little son wanted to make a collection of butterflies and beetles and it was all exciting to him and it was all arranged then and then the father said to the son you are certain this is not a cruel thing that you are wanting to be doing, killing things to make collections of them, and the son was very disturbed then and they talked about it together the two of them and more and more they talked about it then and then at last the boy was convinced it was a cruel thing and he said he would not do it and his father said the little boy was a noble boy to give up pleasure when it was a cruel one. The boy went to bed then and then the father when he got up in the early morning saw a wonderfully beautiful moth in the room and he caught him and he killed him and he pinned him and he woke up his son then and showed it to him and he said to him see what a good father I am to have caught and killed this one, the boy was all mixed up inside him and then he said he would go on with his collecting and that was all there was then of discussing and this is a little description of something that happened once and it is very interesting."

then let's keep dancing

I came to this world in order to do something and I haven't done anything and the whole world is gonna end.

-E. Decorsey down by the river.


.

My knees became water and when he told me not to cry because they would think that he was trying to hurt me I felt the ocean in my abdomen spill out from between my legs and both of us were drowned.

.


'I'd like to have a pastry. We can have it on the go. Sure. Just let me get my wallet. I have zero dollars so we are even."


.

Crossing the pink bridge under a blue sky the boy in the black and white said, "I'm going to be in a major motion picture."

.

almost espasmo, the heat made it palpitate.

.

"he had a thing for asphyxiation. he wanted to push my head under the snow but i wouldn't let him."

.

I don't believe in the power of love. I don't believe in the wisdom of stone. I don't believe in a god or the mind.

and I'm not alone.

"
There
where i put my hand.
There
where I close the door behind me.
There
where I unpack my bag.
There
where place incites me, chides me, invites me.

I breathe, smother, burst away."

-Nathalie Stephens in
Absence Where As


.

felt like the girl in the river who wades from one bank to the other with a minnow in the hand slowly opening.

.

Treehouse song
Just an impression of you next to me
And the terrible sound of the clapping of leaves

thoughts of a young girl
by John Ashbery




“it is such a beautiful day I had to write you a letter
From the tower, and to show I’m not mad;
I only slipped on the cake of soap of the air
And drowned in the bathtub of the world."

you're trying to fool somebody but you wind up fooling yourself.






Someday we'll all fall down.




going to go jump in a great lake, burn sparklers, eat cake, set sailboats on fire with rainbow bombs and too much gin.

which actually sounds more like this: Now She's Gone by Felt (same name different band).

. “If I were just careless and began to have the conversations with myself

if I were a blank page of time

a page of time

that everyone around was folding

so everyone all around just kept folding

parts of me all around up

downs and ups and ups and downs

soft little rips
of visions of morning













WHICH MORNING?


























ALL THE ENDLESS MORNINGS AND

ALL THE ENDLESS VISIONS OF THEM ALL




















IN

C

utting delirium out

love is not even

little bits of shredded papers














WHO SAYS?






















HE



SAID IT SO.


















in any way and sleeping through that or the invitations to,

all strange men and woman having conversations

and having conversations

all kinds of conversations and all of them kind of

all of the conversations beginning to be had all

at once in swift ecstatic rotation

spinning and spinning and spinning

feet

flickering off feet flickering the fuck off for what seems an eternity for what is only three minutes really


until sinking to the knees.











the reason i called is to tell you about my dream I had a dream of you last night. Did you. Yes you were this old Indian guy standing on the back porch
and there was a pail of water there on the step with a drowned bird in it--
big yellow bird really huge you know
floating with its wings out and you leaned over and said,
Come on now
get out of there--and you took it
by one wing and just flung it right up into the air WHOOSH it came alive
and then it was gone.

LOVE IS A FOG THAT BURNS WITH THE FIRST DAYLIGHT OF REALITY

Gullivera y O Palhaço

.


O Palhaço

Gostava só de lixeiros crianças e árvores

Arras trava na rua por uma corda uma estrela suja.

Vinha pingando oceano!

Todo estragado de azul.



Gullivera


La mujer más alta de la ciudad es seria

y muestra una sonrisa perversa a deshoras

cuando ofrécete un bombón que otro regaló

cuando gravita las cosas al rededor

y dice ‘liliput yourself in your little place’


No sabe la mujer más alta de la ciudad

que la altitud puede ser un peligro

y que tienes ardiles para coger seres así



¿pero para que tú quieres capturarla

si puedes tenerla sin suelo solo aire?
