Joseph Ceravolo: Come Clean
August 1, 1986
Everything upsets me,
sick people suffering,
friends leaving, friends parting.
Even having to tell you this,
having to admit that
I am burning out like the edges
of lava. But I think it is related
to you as I try to understand,
because I am not brilliant
like a nuclear formula.
But I think it is related to you
and only music seems to breathe,
only insects seem to speak.
I do not want to be a fool
who struggles within my own breast forever.
sick people suffering,
friends leaving, friends parting.
Even having to tell you this,
having to admit that
I am burning out like the edges
of lava. But I think it is related
to you as I try to understand,
because I am not brilliant
like a nuclear formula.
But I think it is related to you
and only music seems to breathe,
only insects seem to speak.
I do not want to be a fool
who struggles within my own breast forever.
Now the sun is coming out
and the sting within my breast crawling away,
troubled, spiked with insanity
and the sting within my breast crawling away,
troubled, spiked with insanity
Everything is sighing, even
the trees without the wind that you possess.
the trees without the wind that you possess.
Joseph Ceravolo (1934-1988): Come Clean, 1 August 1986, from Collected Poems, 2013

Following the timeline of Muhammad Smiry in Gaza huddled with his family in the dark in somebody else's house through a night of air raids and broken windows and insistent bombing now close now moving off - was a very spooky spin through déja vu ville.
ReplyDeleteThis is what is known as Mowing the Lawn. Four years ago just now, the last concerted trim took place. We all recall Shujaya, unless we don't.
The mention of American made weapons in the "Activist" text Smiry cites put us in mind of a little anniversary coming up on Monday.
