#19. Short items of epiphany while listening to Blind Willie Johnson

❦ 1

Any violence registered as so soft

Ends in circle of that skin bag of ground bones

Dangling jingle jangle on top of a flagpole,

White skirts to the entrance of the sheepish village.

❦ 2

I lost the chance, missed the mark

Time strayed me, for I let flail the spur and rein.

❦ 3

Principally unhappy

Laying to waste all that is, beyond far what can be had, plus all those there were not;

Make those dry grass, dry leaves a cloister

A warm slot of rest to pretend dying in -

But you have no aptitude at all to die,

You but desire to pass away into murky, torpifying nothing, not

Never had you wanted to see nothings wrangle with themselves [and that death itself howls and sleeps to brim, from the jarred scars from the heights of vertigo emptiness, the well-endowed sloops in the basins of wide, wider, high sea sadness]

Gallope, jostle, ramble, these deaths on their own fields and ranges that know and love them; drink they them each other to rot fervently for they have Body that lives to feel even while dying, being dead, gone all traces and imprints -

But it’s clear that you have no such Body.

You easily passing thing, [you, not yet an adept, a will or a tool-to-be-rider under any deaths]

For so, as in desiring home, you desire as predicted an unfeeling passing, perfect oblivion -

But oblivions are never perfect [which is plainly known to you too],

And dying unfeeling is β€œas if not dying at all”, so,

Do you yet covet life? Is to the core of these

Superficial corps and outgrowth of deathdrive, still there; the core well self-position within earth, is here

Your retained self-coveting desire for more life?

Shame to your earth, your growing beings;

Shame to your life,

Shame to your ineptitude that knows nothing of any strand of a yielding, patient softness;

Principally undeserving of death.

Feel instead β€œthis” β€œyour” lifedeath!
