Joseph Ceravolo: July 3, 1986
The purple plant, leaves thick
with hair's texture and shine,
has shot a flower,
pink, purple, yellow feelers
shining in the
magnificent conjunction of two long leaves.
A flower, only a flower of mortality
to conjure up the night's pre-dusk
when chip-chip-chip in flowering voice
tzell-tzell-tzell-tzell-tzell
answers across the branches, throat extended.
What's this praise, this crazy wine
this evening gale of inner voice,
all-too, all-too, all-too, all-too purple happily
that conjures up the flower that has no sound?
Joseph Ceravolo (1934-1988): July 3, 1986, from Collected Poems (2012)

Joseph Ceravolo: Bad Thoughts
July 15, 1986
On the sleeves of the dark dropped
on our innocent heads is murder,
rape and casual insanity.
But don't look now or it passes
like a wind tied to trees,
where gods of sacrifice knife maidens,
country leaders deny genocide,
or religiocide in the dark corners
On the sleeves of the dark dropped
on our innocent heads is murder,
rape and casual insanity.
But don't look now or it passes
like a wind tied to trees,
where gods of sacrifice knife maidens,
country leaders deny genocide,
or religiocide in the dark corners
of golden temples to their one and only god.
Hypocrisy lives well with riches
and the night lives within us
in the grinding sacrificial wheels of destroy.
Cars and planes, electronics
and computers develop dying intelligence
in the twilight disguised as dawn while
squirming through the hole in the wall
is a roach that remembers earth.

from Ravi Waste Inventory
from Ravi Waste Inventory: Gandi Engine Commission: A Tentative Collection Project (Lahore, 2018).The
Gandi Engine Commission is an experimental, site-specific workshop that
navigates through the Ravi river in Pakistan to explore themes of
development, destruction, waste and toxicity. Drawing on the Persian
meaning of the, word ‘ravi’ as ‘narrator’, and taking its name from a
decommissioned sewage treatment plant, the project, recreated in the
exhibition ‘Climactic: Post Normal Design’, was designed as a workshop
and a walk to reflect on the waste and refuse that the cities produce
and dump into the river. The commission was structured around the
following issues: colonialism and conquest, pastoralism and
productivity, detritus and development, living with discarded things, and
a soundwalk. The walk culminated in a site specific video projection
in a park near the plant, and brings attention to the local and global
circulation of waste in the service of neoliberal capitalism, and its
relation to the continued suffering of the people who live on the banks
of these flows of refuse.

Ortega was a hero to our family - the magic of the name Sandinista.
Always the second time as farce.
The second temple was not like the first.
