Enrico Robusti, La Preghiara non ascoltata dell' annegato/
The Prayer not heard of the drowned

she won the purse
at carnival
she danced around
the table
but when she sat
she fell so flat
that nothing could
arouse her

a man a-saunter
came upon her
and breathed
into her cables
she sat straight up
and with one look
she knew that
she had found him

she stuffed some bills
into his mouth
he chewed them up
like lettuce
and in between
his burps and moans
he told her of
his fetish

nothing could stop
her rush of love
she threw her
feet upon him
and now at home
she stomps and groans
to soothe his
bastard burden

and all the while
the money grows
within his
rum-tum tummy
and one day now
he'll shit it out
and they'll be
all a-gaggle

that's 21st century
love my love
that's carnival
and cash
love is made
on the strawberry moon
and everyone is
a looney tune

for love
for love
for love
oh darling
for love made
on the moon

No restart at Ooi Nuclear Power Plant!!

No way, no how! Hear the camerawoman weeping! 11,000+ demonstrate in front of Prime Minister Noda's office today!



Save the children of Japan from nuclear radiation!

Love is all there is: the rest is self-delusion

Ancient maple by Patricia Scarborough from her Off the Highway Project

Have we a minute to sit

you and I

beneath this

heavily laden maple

sheltered from the rain

chilly wind

or sun

We can speak of the thing

unspoiled before

we touched it

in that devil may care

manner we have

of wanting to possess

everything

Remembering

the war years

that brought us

closer

years of strife and

sacrifice and

and loyalty

burying the losses

What cowards we were

not to love!

What fools in thinking

we were above all that

mincing and mixing

of the inane with the serious

idiot sentimentalism!

We could do it all again

if not for ourselves

If not for self-delusion!

Oh I am off again

on that ancient subject

my will to resist

broken and dangling

from your pretty wrist

with a million charms

like dying stars

yet I would love you again

The other feelings

I have are all

mostly made of sand

a past that never was

a war that never ended

at the biological level

a cell that can

no longer divide

The Death of Sappho

Honoré Daumier, La mort de Sapho (The Death of Sappho), 1843

Take me to the cliff 

I am ready

Head to toe to midriff

Sing me a death riff 

I am heady 

Take me to the cliff

Carve on me your glyph 

I am steady 

Head to toe to midriff

Light me a spliff 

I am thready

Take me to the cliff 

Take your final whiff 

I am bready

Head to toe to midriff

Launch the skiff 

I am eddy

Take me to the cliff

Head to toe to midriff
