Golden Star Of Faith
© Surazeus
20230320
With sacred sorrow of the wretched wood
sad refugees from war still seek the good
elusive as frail butterfly of love
that long evades divine gaze from above
when whistling bombs of arrogant desire
fail to shatter crystal church of the choir.

A 1966 #documentary featuring #PhilipWhalen & #GarySnyder. Each gets some biography focus and then each reads their #poetry.
Both were key members of the #BeatGeneration and both read their poetry at the Six Gallery in #SanFrancisco on October 7, 1955 when Allan Ginsberg first publicly read his seminal #poem Howl. Both, also, had/have strong #PNW & #Oregon ties, and both were #Buddhist, fyi.

John Cooper Clarke's 'I Wanna Be Yours' is apparently the world's favourite poem. He's a good bloke is Mister Clarke. I saw him at that gig at the Ally Pally in Crystal Palace in 1980 (pictured in the article). He was brilliant; but also really friendly and down-to-earth, happy to have a chat and give me an autograph (which I lost about 5 mins later, of course). Good to see his work getting the appreciation it deserves. 😀

let us upon our shoulders then
carry every happening
we found and swore was ours to bear
never once complaining
let us well encouraged go
down into the car park
kiss that which we’ve never owned
setting off alarms
let us rest a while here
set into our waypoints
strapping all our luggage down
pretending it adores us

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

watching this film, originally in English and Mandarin
dubbed in German and then in Russian
not quite eliminating the previous audio tracks
would probably be a bit easier if it weren’t also subbed
in Dutch over Cantonese over English
rendering the experience occluded holographic
four fragmented linguistic elements variously known
as one might know cooking oatmeal and French toast
where historically French toast has been any number of things
while oatmeal, beloved oatmeal, sometimes utterly lacks oats
in a mélange with eggy cinnamon, while the French breads
sometimes don’t even egg a little bit, even in the closet
finding myself on the streets again, angry teens RDXing cars
tanks getting ready to roll, but not rolling yet, economic collapsar
spinning in radio silence, glitches of radio screams
punctuating interstellar distances where we’ve been dreaming contact
everything between included, photographic intersectional
a sophit lie-down, upside-down, soft-silenced
where we’re watching this film we’re in, knowing it’s coming
knowing it’s been, knowing in iron cornices filed down to wire
magnetized, shaken to blank, baby syndrome regurgitating memetics
screening truths that are truths that are truths that have never been
gyrations at umbilicus end, it’s not fashion, it’s not ism, it’s dance
threshing striations towards homogenous obliteration, unpeopling
we have always been watching this film, we have always been in it
saying there is no film, there is please gods no film, where are my people
everyone pointing at painting in egg-wash, baking down fixations
motivations in let it not be real, let the reveal be concealed eternally
burn cinnamon, burn the itch, burn the ever-loving ash out of the
[insert people here] until we can look the other way, everyone like us
we are not watching this film, we have never been here
fill the trenches with everything we might have known
dark matterless prolapsar, where are my people
where are my people, glitch-signal out
broken E-R bridge, white light
white light
where are my people

Why is it when some people see power, money, or fame
Something clicks off in their brain
They throw out their compassion and morality
And fully embrace a rich person's brutality
They see something usually quite deporable
But because that person doing it is rich, that makes it adorable?!

Morning observations 19/03/2023...
Bright. Breezy. Yesterday a bastion of invincibility, the village kids cardboard fort lays scattered & tattered in the calles; a ransacked ruin of a fallen empire of fun. The monotone drone of a single prop plane provides the bass note to the mornings concerto. Cats laze in quiet corners...

Bertolt Brecht - Über Schillers Gedicht „Die Bürgschaft“
O edle Zeit, o menschliches Gebaren!
Der eine ist dem andern etwas schuld.
Der ist tyrannisch, doch er zeigt Geduld
Und lässt den Schuldner auf die Hochzeit fahren.
Der Bürge bleibt. Der Schuldner ist heraus.
Es weist sich, dass natürlich die Natur
Ihm manche Ausflucht bietet, jedoch stur
Kehrt er zurück und löst den Bürgen aus.
Solch ein Gebaren macht Verträge heilig.
In solchen Zeiten kann man auch noch bürgen.
Und, hat’s der Schuldner mit dem Zahlen eilig
Braucht man ihn ja nicht allzustark zu würgen.
Und schließlich zeigte es sich ja auch dann:
Am End war der Tyrann gar kein Tyrann!
#BertoltBrecht, #FriedrichSchiller, #FriedrichVonSchiller, #DieBürgschaft, #Literatur, #literature, #Ballade, #ballad, #Gedicht, #poem
Ich sei, gewährt mir die Bitte, in eurem Bunde der dritte! (Friedrich von Schiller, 1759-1805)

Die Bürgschaft (1798) - Friedrich von Schiller
Zu Dionys, dem Tyrannen, schlich
Damon, den Dolch im Gewande:
Ihn schlugen die Häscher in Bande,
"Was wolltest du mit dem Dolche? sprich!"
Entgegnet ihm finster der Wüterich.
"Die Stadt vom Tyrannen befreien!"
"Das sollst du am Kreuze bereuen."
"Ich bin", spricht jener, "zu sterben bereit
Und bitte nicht um mein Leben:
Doch willst du Gnade mir geben,
Ich flehe dich um drei Tage Zeit,
Bis ich die Schwester dem Gatten gefreit;
Ich lasse den Freund dir als Bürgen,
Ihn magst du, entrinn' ich, erwürgen."
Da lächelt der König mit arger List
Und spricht nach kurzem Bedenken:
"Drei Tage will ich dir schenken;
Doch wisse, wenn sie verstrichen, die Frist,
Eh' du zurück mir gegeben bist,
So muss er statt deiner erblassen,
Doch dir ist die Strafe erlassen."
Und er kommt zum Freunde: "Der König gebeut,
dass ich am Kreuz mit dem Leben
Bezahle das frevelnde Streben.
Doch will er mir gönnen drei Tage Zeit,
Bis ich die Schwester dem Gatten gefreit;
So bleib du dem König zum Pfande,
Bis ich komme zu lösen die Bande."
Und schweigend umarmt ihn der treue Freund
Und liefert sich aus dem Tyrannen;
Der andere ziehet von dannen.
Und ehe das dritte Morgenrot scheint,
Hat er schnell mit dem Gatten die Schwester vereint,
Eilt heim mit sorgender Seele,
Damit er die Frist nicht verfehle.
Da gießt unendlicher Regen herab,
Von den Bergen stürzen die Quellen,
Und die Bäche, die Ströme schwellen.
Und er kommt ans Ufer mit wanderndem Stab,
Da reißet die Brücke der Strudel herab,
Und donnernd sprengen die Wogen
Des Gewölbes krachenden Bogen.
Und trostlos irrt er an Ufers Rand:
Wie weit er auch spähet und blicket
Und die Stimme, die rufende, schicket.
Da stößet kein Nachen vom sichern Strand,
Der ihn setze an das gewünschte Land,
Kein Schiffer lenket die Fähre,
Und der wilde Strom wird zum Meere.
Da sinkt er ans Ufer und weint und fleht,
Die Hände zum Zeus erhoben:
"O hemme des Stromes Toben!
Es eilen die Stunden, im Mittag steht
Die Sonne, und wenn sie niedergeht
Und ich kann die Stadt nicht erreichen,
So muss der Freund mir erbleichen."
Doch wachsend erneut sich des Stromes Wut,
Und Welle auf Welle zerrinnet,
Und Stunde an Stunde ertrinnet.
Da treibt ihn die Angst, da fasst er sich Mut
Und wirft sich hinein in die brausende Flut
Und teilt mit gewaltigen Armen
Den Strom, und ein Gott hat Erbarmen.
Und gewinnt das Ufer und eilet fort
Und danket dem rettenden Gotte;
Da stürzet die raubende Rotte
Hervor aus des Waldes nächtlichem Ort,
Den Pfad ihm sperrend, und schnaubert Mord
Und hemmet des Wanderers Eile
Mit drohend geschwungener Keule.
"Was wollt ihr?" ruft er vor Schrecken bleich,
"Ich habe nichts als mein Leben,
Das muss ich dem Könige geben!"
Und entreißt die Keule dem nächsten gleich:
"Um des Freundes willen erbarmet euch!"
Und drei mit gewaltigen Streichen
Erlegt er, die andern entweichen.
Und die Sonne versendet glühenden Brand,
Und von der unendlichen Mühe
Ermattet sinken die Kniee.
"O hast du mich gnädig aus Räubershand,
Aus dem Strom mich gerettet ans heilige Land,
Und soll hier verschmachtend verderben,
Und der Freund mir, der liebende, sterben!"
Und horch! da sprudelt es silberhell,
Ganz nahe, wie rieselndes Rauschen,
Und stille hält er, zu lauschen;
Und sieh, aus dem Felsen, geschwätzig, schnell,
Springt murmelnd hervor ein lebendiger Quell,
Und freudig bückt er sich nieder
Und erfrischet die brennenden Glieder.
Und die Sonne blickt durch der Zweige Grün
Und malt auf den glänzenden Matten
Der Bäume gigantische Schatten;
Und zwei Wanderer sieht er die Straße ziehn,
Will eilenden Laufes vorüber fliehn,
Da hört er die Worte sie sagen:
"Jetzt wird er ans Kreuz geschlagen."
Und die Angst beflügelt den eilenden Fuß,
Ihn jagen der Sorge Qualen;
Da schimmern in Abendrots Strahlen
Von ferne die Zinnen von Syrakus,
Und entgegen kommt ihm Philostratus,
Des Hauses redlicher Hüter,
Der erkennet entsetzt den Gebieter:
"Zurück! du rettest den Freund nicht mehr,
So rette das eigene Leben!
Den Tod erleidet er eben.
Von Stunde zu Stunde gewartet' er
Mit hoffender Seele der Wiederkehr,
Ihm konnte den mutigen Glauben
Der Hohn des Tyrannen nicht rauben."
"Und ist es zu spät, und kann ich ihm nicht,
Ein Retter, willkommen erscheinen,
So soll mich der Tod ihm vereinen.
Des rühme der blut'ge Tyrann sich nicht,
dass der Freund dem Freunde gebrochen die Pflicht,
Er schlachte der Opfer zweie
Und glaube an Liebe und Treue!"
Und die Sonne geht unter, da steht er am Tor,
Und sieht das Kreuz schon erhöhet,
Das die Menge gaffend umstehet;
An dem Seile schon zieht man den Freund empor,
Da zertrennt er gewaltig den dichter Chor:
"Mich, Henker", ruft er, "erwürget!
Da bin ich, für den er gebürget!"
Und Erstaunen ergreifet das Volk umher,
In den Armen liegen sich beide
Und weinen vor Schmerzen und Freude.
Da sieht man kein Augen tränenleer,
Und zum Könige bringt man die Wundermär';
Der fühlt ein menschliches Rühren,
Lässt schnell vor den Thron sie führen,
Und blicket sie lange verwundert an.
Drauf spricht er: "Es ist euch gelungen,
Ihr habt das Herz mir bezwungen;
Und die Treue, sie ist doch kein leerer Wahn -
So nehmet auch mich zum Genossen an:
Ich sei, gewährt mir die Bitte,
In eurem Bunde der dritte!"

No, they really *are* just all called "Of Mice and Men", that's the whole point!

And no one's staging a riot?
And when did we start believing

caturday comes
on soft little weekender socks
some short, some long
some all encompassing
right to the whiskers
a cry against empty
in short shifts floofing
some aloof, some spoofing
their feelers, their everything
all astonished, all together
all laid back, all together
all in their alltogether

as luck would have it
sometimes we just get lucky
Some get no such luck...

The magic remains.
