ιδρώτας
κρύος, ζεστός, εναλλάξ
τα σεντόνια ίδια για μέρες
τα άλλαζες αλλά τίποτα δεν άλλαζε
κλειστά παράθυρα και χυμένα δοχεία
φωνές από το δρόμο
χρειάζομαι μια άδεια
χρειάζομαι σωτηρία
πονάει ακόμα και το χαμόγελο που μου φέρνεις στα χείλη
είναι σαν δρόμος προς τη σταύρωση
κουδούνι- πόρτα – σωτηρία
δε χτυπάει χάλασε
(καμία σωτηρία)
έπεσε η κολόνα
(καμία σωτηρία)
απεργεί η ΔΕΗ
(καμία σωτηρία)
μου κάνουν πλάκα τα παιδιά της γειτονιάς
δεν έρχεσαι
δε φτάνω τα φάρμακα
σε κούρασε αυτή η ιστορία
μιζέρια, αποχή, αδιαθεσία
το δωμάτιο μύριζε οινόπνευμα και σεξ
τώρα μυρίζει οινόπνευμα και βιξ
δεν ήταν ποτέ ρομαντικό
τώρα σίγουρα δεν είναι
υπερβατικές φιγούρες
τούνελ, άγγελοι και φώτα
δεν πεθαίνεις αλλά τίποτα δεν είναι όπως πρώτα
υπάρχει σωτηρία, άλλη μια εγχείριση, άλλη μια ένεση
άλλη μια σχέση που σκοτώσαμε πριν πεθάνει
«θα περιμένωμ μέχρι να ξαναρθείς, θα περιμένω»
το τεστ είναι θετικό, πεθαίνω
(καμία σωτηρία)
*Άσκηση πάνω στο Fever 103 της Sylvia Plath
Pure? What does it mean?
The tongues of hell
Are dull, dull as the triple
Tongues of dull, fat Cerberus Cerberus a hound in Greek and Roman mythology that guards the gates of Hell (Hades), often represented with three headsWho wheezes at the gate. Incapable
Of licking clean
The aguey aguey characterized by an acute fever, accompanied by shivering or shaking tendon, the sin, the sin. The tinder cries.
Of a snuffed candle!
Love, love, the low smokes roll
From me like Isadora’s scarves Isadora’s scarves American dancer Isadora Duncan (1877-1927) had a known longing for flowing scarves. She died in a freak car accident, most likely by strangulation, when her long scarf wrapped around her neck became caught in one of the wheel spokes of the traveling car., I’m in a fright
One scarf will catch and anchor in the wheel,
Such yellow sullen smokes
Make their own element. They will not rise,
But trundle trundle roll round the globe Choking the aged and the meek,
The weak
Hothouse Hothouse a heated greenhouse where plants are bred baby in its crib, The ghastly orchid
Hanging its hanging garden in the air,
Devilish leopard!
Radiation turned it white
And killed it in an hour.
Greasing the bodies of adulterers
Like Hiroshima Hiroshima Japanese industrial city which was the first of two cities hit with an atomic bomb by the U.S. in August 1945 to end World War II. Many survivors of the attack later died of radiation burns or sickness. ash and eating in. The sin. The sin.
Darling, all night
I have been flickering, off, on, off, on.
The sheets grow heavy as a lecher’s lecher a person with strong sexual desires; lustful kiss.
Three days. Three nights.
Lemon water, chicken
Water, water make me retch.
I am too pure for you or anyone.
Your body
Hurts me as the world hurts God. I am a lantern——
My head a moon
Of Japanese paper, my gold beaten skin
Infinitely delicate and infinitely expensive.
Does not my heat astound you! And my light!
All by myself I am a huge camellia camellia a plant native to Asia, with large flowers typically red or pink in colorGlowing and coming and going, flush on flush.
I think I am going up,
I think I may rise——
The beads of hot metal fly, and I love, I
Am a pure acetylene acetylene a colorless, flammable gas that produces a high heat under pressure, used for torch welding and the cutting or purifying of metalsVirgin
Attended by roses,
By kisses, by cherubim cherubim plural of “cherub”; high-ranking angels mentioned in the Bible, often depicted in paintings as winged babies or toddlers., By whatever these pink things mean!
Not you, nor him
Nor him, nor him
(My selves dissolving, old whore petticoats)——
To Paradise.
