old angels. enemies and faces. me; from the dust to what must happen.

Chapter one

Old Angel
"a grill over the night in the front of your head
your eyes, such a splendour
a triumph of understanding.
in all these evenings they are like moths trapped into desperate corners of the spider s nest:
Hanged
Suffocated
Slaughtered"

Me
"how can I stop the Time
who's butchering the living of my sight
making me shaking like a leaf
behind the smile of all the angels?

they can see with their smiles
judging with their smiles
loving with their smiles

I am not capable of finding the right moment as life is running out so calmly
like a prophet getting away into the desert

his face
a gift from heaven
disappearing from mortality's pollution

will you take my sorrow with you?
my mind and my tongue?
will you?"

Old Angel
"faces are cosmonauts and grebes
and they are both admirable
walking on the moon
dancing on the clear surface of the lake

I am circulating through the banquet of the atmosphere. I see everything. I sense Earth and Creation.
and the absence of the Mighty One.
tired.
only to be left in peace.

first you need to take a naked thought. then, count on your old fashioned tape writer. "

Me
"oh, my mum had one; different scripts
and I deal with it even if not any good...
I' ll send it to you...

anyway
anywhere

you ll got them both, Old Angel.
your faces like horned lizards turning up side down to confuse their Enemy; to protect their future generations.

what are all these faces looking for?"

Old Angel
"Life.
Nature.
Love.

and she wrote
asking for nothing but madness, an element of blank and liberating words.

I am somebody to put an eye on
a face that cannot be ignored."

Me
" I am a performing flesh.
madness.
I will open my heart to you

a starving heart
growing old, bronze and
heavy as
the slavery and the shame."
