Inertia Creeps

•March 3, 2009 • 1 Comment

In my home no chrome as clear as
See me now with my nearest dearest
Been there when I’m over careering
Room shifting is endearing
Between us is our kitchen
Would you found my irritant’s itching
Been here before
Been here forever

Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps

“I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.”

Lady Lazarus…

ab17f1708c652f997d1043ea825033aa

I have done it again.
One year in every ten
I manage it—-

A sort of walking miracle, my skin
Bright as a Nazi lampshade,
My right foot

A paperweight,
My face a featureless, fine
Jew linen.

Peel off the napkin
0 my enemy.
Do I terrify?—-

The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth?
The sour breath
Will vanish in a day.

Soon, soon the flesh
The grave cave ate will be
At home on me

And I a smiling woman.
I am only thirty.
And like the cat I have nine times to die.

This is Number Three.
What a trash
To annihilate each decade.

What a million filaments.
The peanut-crunching crowd
Shoves in to see

Them unwrap me hand and foot
The big strip tease.
Gentlemen, ladies

These are my hands
My knees.
I may be skin and bone,

Nevertheless, I am the same, identical woman.
The first time it happened I was ten.
It was an accident.

The second time I meant
To last it out and not come back at all.
I rocked shut

As a seashell.
They had to call and call
And pick the worms off me like sticky pearls.

Dying
Is an art, like everything else,
I do it exceptionally well.

I do it so it feels like hell.
I do it so it feels real.
I guess you could say I’ve a call.

It’s easy enough to do it in a cell.
It’s easy enough to do it and stay put.
It’s the theatrical

Comeback in broad day
To the same place, the same face, the same brute
Amused shout:

‘A miracle!’
That knocks me out.
There is a charge

For the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge
For the hearing of my heart—-
It really goes.

And there is a charge, a very large charge
For a word or a touch
Or a bit of blood

Or a piece of my hair or my clothes.
So, so, Herr Doktor.
So, Herr Enemy.

I am your opus,
I am your valuable,
The pure gold baby

That melts to a shriek.
I turn and burn.
Do not think I underestimate your great concern.

Ash, ash —
You poke and stir.
Flesh, bone, there is nothing there—-

A cake of soap,
A wedding ring,
A gold filling.

Herr God, Herr Lucifer
Beware
Beware.

Out of the ash
I rise with my red hair
And I eat men like air.

Sylvia Plath

My Count,my Resume..”Bonjour Tristesse”!

•February 2, 2009 • 1 Comment

It is the grief that I must face?
For all these years holding an ace
in my hand
Oh of what lovely lonely games we lied
As a salvation routine, drowned in misbelief
So even though I care
To learn again to love embracing an affair
Once more in vain
I will be deducing the pain,
Since,
In pure mathematics of safety I dive
Paying tribute to every unimportant drive
Until
The so-called revenge summons my name
My whole name against whatever I bear
And I am called of, I am
Zero,
rename me if you can.

Bonjour Tristesse…


“In the name of Fashion”-Prada’s-Multi Million Social Primitivism

•January 26, 2009 • 7 Comments

“Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal. At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses.”

[Stephen Bayley (b. 1951), British design critic. "Fashion: Being and Dressing," pt. 2, Taste (1991).]

“It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic, by fashion.”
Yves Saint Laurent.

WELL, A ONE-LINE QUOTE-A WHOLE LESSON FOR MADAME PRADA.
