Tango de la Materia, No. 41, Epitome No. 4

Newark Bay lifts in secret

The winds of southerly

Now zephyrs of times’ past

Howling starving streams of an Eastern light

Through the farthest Western gate

Smart to breathe so deep and fast

As the waters have arisen

Battering the sills

A golden fate on Russian snowdrifts

The sadness was a nip sweeter

To journey on by train

And allow the time to marinate

A patience we once knew

At last the supper last is true

We can foresee to the horizon

A second coming post the colors’ fall

A pale face in resurrection

Why so gaunt?

Has the fast wrought so deep into the breath of intellect

Has rendered impotent?

A message sheathed in ice

For the people we once love

To melt into an imagined scant

Only the wrapped arms of dear Old Europe

Can offer celibate

The Western set Far Eastern dance so still

Alone alone he moved himself

To an offering a heartbeat

The release was as imminent

And he fell on just a moment

Preyed by candlelight sonata

As for the wind just keeps on battering

On high westerly cantata

She is flickering out an ocean

Do you see the river flowing?

The wisdom of a broken trust

Is not at all a wisdom

As it would rather scant exist

Self effacing

And the wisdom is a farce

That on counterpoint decrees it

Lost to the world outside

A river blowing howls downwind

So soft spoken in its utterance

The (air-lines) of Newark port

Scatter dreams across the world

A memory (ought/might) taste so sweet

I can (nestle/nibble) it unfurl

And the voices have ceased calling

The souls of passions lame

In the flickering material

I’ve chanced the dread too late

An aching hollow pure distilled

Alone alone at last

Had falls’ a minimal

A celebrity in white

Purring at the gate

I want a flight from Newark

Of cordial glass stairs croaking heavens’ late

A parched dismemberment

Mumbling eerie fate

Epitome concurrent

With the peaks of sunny straits

The conquistadors of enlightenment

Spiriting discreet

Travelers of the setting suns

Touching base in Siberia

Where the Far East laps

A most distant neighbor

And rises shoots up from the tundra

The brick city conduit

Herein a free air would have buried seeds

For eternity

An industry never to repose

On the currents of free market swells

Rather fights in bitter freeze

Against the concrete entropy

Existential plateau

A tidal pool of crevice

Waiting on the winter crack

To emancipate the rose blush scent

Of flowering empiricism

Lacerating angelic elegies

My imagination is waning

And when I look out upon the window

I see a figment of world as pure concept

As an image that’s been gone

An ignorance that burns

A knowledge that flies so far and wide

As to just disappear

Skating on thin ice

Beneath an origami star

Held so fragile dear

Though I must fear

That she’s unfolding far too brief

Changing hands immediate

Wherein the market sets her pace

Slipping the weathered hands of industry

And falling tides from grace

A golden dust of snow

Remembers well the Bay of San Francisco

Setting sail on tides too low

Wings breakered ’pon cliff’s jagged face

Touching base a crucifix well battered

Anticipating the brick oven

A city of angels fallen latter

Mon Alouette,

Be my guard on this still (steppe/

Step hesitant to fathom)?


He tangoed with a Catolic reality

Hath been branded heart and mind

And pinch of soul

The Renaissance man

Au François

Popular pomp is a dilettante

A proper wisdom knows it foolish

Thinking wise

As secrets are like seers

Prefer to be dark lights of ambient thought

Than coy eyes of aging knowledge

Please excuse my devils’ advocacy

My imagination is a Slavic ghost

Basking peels of romance languages

The Mediterranean green

A whitened sun

A waking dream of being woken

From (insanity/jabberwocky)

By a once lover

The cordial brevity

Much too dry for my tongue

Our only kiss my muse

Rape me

Fuck me

Pierce me

So that my fury flows once more

And I can burn at last

The flags of my fantasized countrymen
Abandoning the solidarity of our childhoods

Love once was and for all

For empty rooms

We sleep no more

Come on you once were lovers

Now make a scene the spheres can sing

Was an ode to shame modernity

The truest avant garde

Gouging copulation

A gruesome abstracting

Bodies mangled in the passions

Trailing innards on the canvas

A cannibal’s milieu

Any man can give his blood

But to this love would give it to?

This razor thin does dance

Blades’ Shakespearean tragedy

The wanton lust for lovebirds’ song

In the desert a corpse of language

Flittering trivials of the romance

As life comes manifest

I grew tired of the mainland tug

I wanted rather many rivers to clothe me

Unfolding the crystal of true heart

The Platonic essence of transparency

Out damn bloody spot!

My lady invites my once lover’s mole

If severed an endless swell

Tainted Va Lázni

The feast of the angels’ opaque

Šialenstvo

All things settle on the brink of fall

The silhouette a gentleman

Hung for madness’ sake

As poets do

Mica, mica, parva stella,

Mozart Annishka

The starry flocks of liberty

Dobre Večer Sterrenacht

Iron bound thanks God the rain

Does settle us this beauty

The swans the dark and light

Convening on the golden grey

(In mask/en masse)

And we drew an ace from fortunes’ drift

To chance the moment of our rhapsody

Prost za vas

Na zdravie
