A statement about civilization for Gilles Deleuze


A statement about civilization:



That Freud tried to “cure” the Wolf-Man
Rather than allow him free
He never knew
The dead tree
The true howl
Of humanity.

Maestro
for John High



lyric dreamer
standing
only
in the

OPEN

translucent tissue
tongue and fossil
moment
to all

Time

i have always wanted
to travel cross country
from Istanbul to Vienna
Baron von Munchausen, Time Bandits
from one gate of civilization
to another

and

what is in between
but this moment
this quivering translucent
moment of ephemeral
eternal tissue
co-creating
life

Just Some Buddhist Doggerel




Until
you are ash
your voice
is not
black
light.

Until
you are ash
you do not know
your voice
is
black
light.

Always
black light
not always
ash.

You
Your
Ash
Not know
Voice
Is
Black
Light
Always
