on skeppsholmen...

they march no more down these halls - the young swedes of a naval order...
outside, the dark trees shield the statues low and the tall ships...
they see a light on - the light that casts shadowlinks in a tight room...
a hollow box, a fulfilled sack - the season's ending in a corner...
the solstice is rounding up, the days lengthening -
and so begins the music again...

for the love of books and blooms

  

el dia de la rosa...y por amor...
a little belated for wishing all a lovely Sant Jordi day [April 23rd] dedicated to St. George the patron saint of Catalonia - and a combo St. Valentine's and Mother's Day...roses for mothers, wives and girlfriends and books in return to fathers, husbands and boyfriends...
el dia del llibre is also in remembrance of Cervantes who died on this day in 1616...

entours-trône-estompé


a baconesque pop-pope perches on the punk-pink throne...
what fetish entozoon soon emerges to empyrean calculations,
to slither under the silky chasubles of phlegmatic apparitions...

eau d'europe

"...'tis some cold, black pool, where in the scented dusk..."* oozes an oily dirge...
"j'ai vu le soleil bas taché d'horreurs mystiques illuminant de longs figements violets...
...mêlant aux fleurs des yeux de panthères à peaux d'hommes!
j'ai vu fermenter les marais, énormes nasses où pourrit dans les joncs tout un Léviathan!
...eschouages hideux au fond des golfes bruns... 
moi qui trouais le ciel rougeoyant comme un mur qui porte, confiture exquise aux bons poètes, des lichens de soleil et des morves d'azur..."* 

"si je désire une eau d'Europe, c'est la flache noire et froide où vers le crépuscule embaumé un enfant accroupi, plein de tristesses, lâche un bateau frêle comme un papillon de mai."*

[*selected lines and verses from "Le Bateau Ivre" by Arthur RIMBAUD, 1854-91]
[alone in a small secret chamber in the Marais, softly scented by Eau d'Europe and the breath of two frenchmen...]
