1) The White Bobber Pigeon [de: Favorita Caf de Miraflores, Lima, Peru] The White Bobber [Pigeon] bobs (up and down), as he slowly walks the sidewalk (in Lima, Peru): pacing to and fro (bobbing his head forward and back): to and fro"eating crumbs that Juan throws onto the walk in the front of his restaurant; amazing I think, to watch this dumb creature walk right up to him, eating (not even chewing), swallowing those big hunks of bread: this white dirty-winged pigeon. Somehow I get the notion this White Bobber pigeon can reason: is he entertaining me and Juan? Perchance he has forgotten he's just a dirty winged pigeon? #1346, 5/11/06, 5:45 PM Thursday, at the Favorita Caf, de Miraflores, Lima, Peru. 2) Everlasting [The Drunk] Tail of his eye
Eyes like dirty yellowish
Clay marbles"
The tail end"fixed
Whispers (bs) then waits
"Help!"
Like a hog with his
Throat cut; a
Cigarette shaped into...
The weeds"wiping
His trouser-cuffs
The shadows crawl
Up to his knees...
Wrist-deep, it sinks into
His flesh!... #830 11/27/05 [found after misplacing it, 5/9/2006] [Commentary] It sometimes gets to me, watching nature mix with its creatures and humans, all mixed together; the earth saying: let's become one; the earth breeds, breathes for us, as it does for the lesser creatures than us, I do believe. It is alive, amongst many other brothers and sisters it has in its solar system. And our solar system is part of a galaxy, which is in comparison to a larger body, surrounded by constellations and the Universe as a whole; perhaps the universe is the body, and earth but a cell within it, no more. If Earth is wounded, so are its nuclear family: Mars, Saturn, and Mercury, and so forth and so on; it is earth's birthright, to be part of the bigger picture (in that capacity), to support us, as w are weaker, but blessed beings from the Most High; we are quite dependent on her, are we not? As if she was a mother, our unspeaking mother you might say; should she have an abortion, God help us all. |
