Face upstream.
The current brings what you need.

Snapshot into the light

The streets are lined with camera crews
Everywhere he goes is news
Today is different
Today is not the same
Today I make the action
Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light
I'm shooting into the light

Bringing this object to light

Where the weird things are


Quiet now
Sun's just up

You're in luck

There
In the tall grass

See it
The necktie and coffee cup

Another there
And there

No, I don't know how many in this ambiguity of curators
They're difficult to pin down

Something's happened
Better go now

The ambiguity is circling
They've smelled the self-aggrandizement of trustees
Down there by the bog

You don't want to see this
Run

Direction



Begin with Virtue 
Taking full Responsibility 


And you reach Victory 

But your third step is your first 
And with Death begin anew 


Undetoured by Chagrin 
Neither by Confusion 


The Twisting Path ends in 
Perfect Clarity of Thought, 
Directness of Action, 
And Eloquence of Speech.

Magnifique, vas ou je vais. Vas! Vas! Vas!

"These moldy books.
Your monstrous looks.
No more.
I can't.
I won't."
His hideous heart had only blossomed once.
She claws the ancient unchanged flower from his paw
And sends it spinning slowly to the floor.

Never let go

At the head of trooping thousands
On mid-summer's night
Rides my sleeping love Tamlane
Their cold and lonely moon-struck eyes
Cannot see me hidden where the three roads meet
I leap
I have his stirrup
Drag him down
I throw my scarlet cloak around
Lions
Fires
Serpents
Floods
Do not let go
Do not let go
Do not let go

an offering for the third of June

Here Now
Dead North vain Cassiopeia hangs
 Balancing The Scales due South
Twin Brothers  live and die in the West
East the Archer kneels
 The Plowman drives Zenith fields
And at my feet 
All of Paradise
