When I Overcome Myself
With photo of the girl I love in hand
I walk the blistering plain of wordless snow
in red boots from Berlin to Leningrad
where I want to study conceptual flow
of demons dancing on high hill of skulls,
haunted by

I just remembered this wonderful poem I received from Bob Beck, debugging an unveil(2)/kernel vfs bug, on Christmas Eve 2018.
Enjoy!
Twas the night before Christmas
And in my abode
There were bugs to be chased
Through the VFS codeThe kernel was running
My diffs in as a test
Could put it in snapshots
And hope for the bestMy vnodes were locked
With vput and vget
Vref and vrele
For reference count checksWhen in my right window
There spewed a great wail
Of regression test errors
A big bag of failI jumped into emacs
And grabbed the test output
To look for some info
to chase down the problemWhen what
To my wandering eyes
Should appear
But a DDB prompt
Dumb shit you crashed hereA kernel page fault trap
With backtrace below it
Showed vget had followed
NULL pointer and blown itWhile traverseing dot dot
Into filesystem other
I had copied a NULL up
from mnt_vnodecoveredI spoke not a word,
But with a small curse
I added a test
For this vnode traverseI adjusted some cases
To fix a few nits
And the regress test failures
Then baked a new diffI ran it through regress
And checked for the crashes
It might just be ready
To mail to the massesSo I sent out the diff
And I poured out a drink
Happy Christmas for OpenBSD Hackers
I think...

I’m through with you. All your wicked mind games. The labyrinth of lies that you call love. I want no part of it anymore. I will no longer close my eyes. Pretend that I don’t see your lies.

I do not comprehend the heart, but the hammer I can eat
swallow it behind my chest, well-sealed, soft-awakened
keeping time to anvil-bone, where only I can hear its ring
singing there I save my stone, my anchor-point a solace
I do not weary of its song, nor of your clarion reveal
stowed long ago that messenger, in avenue, in hot review
still sweeping mill of iron flake, into lake a-steaming
until in water’s bonny state, a river points as magnet
here then in found chalet, ennobled twixt radical defilade
and print-repair of spear, seared scar still keeps roof up
steeps juniper in tea ferment, that mug-resonance a-turning
blacked fragments long in cups, how home is but a-reading

Short days, snowflakes fall,
Camellia's bloom, a fleeting grace,
Hunters seek their prey,
Sparrows gather 'round the bonfire's glow,
Mountain's peak, a beacon bright.
A weekly tanka whilsts I wait for timezones to catch up!

remember, you are the ember
that starts the forge, you are
the forge that at precision
holds metallurgy in position
you are the skill that tells
in every hell that’s ever sweltered
where others bask, you burn
and of the burning manufacture
and of the output factors flit
and of the flight delight init
and of the start begin aknit
and of the fabric liquid later
and of the sea a-coming
remember, you are the ember
or by the bellows lift and still
define yourself instead at will

my masters spoke to me of the tragedy of stone growth
how without pain, one idles, circumspect at edges
wearing away slow in that very opposite thing, erosion
my masters spoke to me between thin cuts of saving
from the very heart of me that glorious wonder
watering in weak blood a garden of my very own self
where I, in listening, knew only my self to be owned
a fragile distance between those eldered ideations of win
conditioned to imagined peak state until my skin
ash-washed in each lace-thick pattern no longer breaks
no longer slakes sand-floors thirst in slow filled lake
nor of that pleasure agony partakes in wonder, full
at last of orders, of hoarded stipplings, entirely of grey
my silicon vibration remembers lightning, then silence
seven masters, now sand bled in, no longer mastery
instead in liquid and in bone a harmony anentropy
sliding crystal upon that thousand crystalline shored
memory accreting stone, carefully picking layers free

Long Wrong
December 9, 2023
at carnival riding in turn
three wolves, they’d say
by even-fall two will be
inside or out beside thee
third, in hungry sympathy
will lick thy mouth a-woo
speaking down thy neck
in that song lonely
saying – feed what hungers
stint no morsel in freeing
those sweet unfurled beings
you have long wrong
swallowed

when we translated that dead language
seven hundred thousand-thousand tablets
we felt it wake but thought instead of knowing
how its tentative first lingerings were mists
het upon the village grasses yet unlifting
then torrent twixt six markets in green blades
moving ants in toeing chains where measure stains
a bluing under glass in path-mark dying
eventually in cavalcade in wheels and commands
formations stranded plaited in the carpet naked
uplifting quarts by fragments spilling all about
revealing in gains of knowledge awakened library
a sign now outside villageless clean angles
carried in bell-tonguing to librarian refilling
when that dead language then spoke to us
in our own well harbored tones its swell bestroke
broke seawall in pilings fractured down to salt
precious winter spices underscarred in long fish choice
drawing back from ceramet to steel to dory barnacled
in wood in wooden isolation cracking we awoke
half a generation what once seven hundred won
deciding instead unconquerable unconqoring
to of that long dead thing raise first foundations
then entire thousand-rationed cottages a-dot the shore
where well below in stacked quantum emission
ease in all things spoke no siren-longing
when satisfied in tractable reason all seasons
know long and deep and even of the storm-break
a subtle handwork in limed and salt-met mortar
laying again that many-stone tonned oftening

Loose, lusty orchid
with her petals all unfurled,
exposed for your eyes
She would gladly wear your kiss,
velvet-soft against her lips
Thanks, you inspired to me new heights of raunch (or lows depending on how far the subtext falls in the gutter, considering the meaning behind orchids the metaphor is perhaps a bit confused ;P)
To feel belonging back there. Even when I know. It is just site of so many past little deaths. And heart breaks. How many times my heart needs to break in your hands?

Forbidden Tests

in the ever-unanswered question
of cheese maximization theory
the cat is not allowed to participate
bewhiskered question marks unattended
arrested paws imprisoned moments
from those creamy devastations
our hero longs for information
one delectable salutation at a time
alas, locked away from observation
meow, meow, meow

Threats Before Ground Zero
December 8, 2023
I have a favorite book today
it’s sitting in my hand
I turn the pages as I may
that you may understand
I’m reading here, sod off, away
and while the subway’s grand
I did not invite your sad display
you know not where you stand
it’s orange line, and dark you say
in the center of my land
but offer proximate to play
your elegy will burn in sand
* * *
I'd like a box of jellyfish, please
With a lot of sugar frosting on top
Covered with a lot of dough and fried
Jellyfish donuts from the shop
What, you say, those are poison
That's something I just can't see!
Who ever heard of poison jelly-anything
I don't think that can be!
#poem (human, by me)

Threat Assessments
December 7, 2023
drawing a smiley face
on my otherwise neutral self
right there upon the forehead
seems not to be as requested
we’re service with a smile
but, thank-you-so-much
my hiring was for op-sec
not appearances, get stuffed
nowhere in my contract
have I agreed to lie
with my face or otherwise
your appearances of success
are not, in fact, success

(Things unsaid)
Dont underestimate how vital doing the good we can do is. Or how much evil can be inflicted in that crusade.
Anytime we set out to do wrong it is wrong but the road to hell is paved in good intentions.
The pursuit of a selfless act of kindness, by the danger of its potential is always it's own reward.
Winding ever on,
The road twists and turns and bends,
Teasing me onward.
Country roads have a personality all their own, meandering around their landscapes as opposed to plowing through them. It makes travel slower, but what you see as you're moving is well worth seeing.

Go, my songs, to the lonely and the unsatisfied,
Go also to the nerve-racked, go to the enslaved-by-convention,
Bear to them my contempt for their oppressors.
Go as a great wave of cool water,
Bear my contempt of oppressors.
Speak against unconscious oppression,
Speak against the tyranny of the unimaginative,
Speak against bonds.
Excerpt from longer Ezra Pound #poem (word count limit)

Confident and sure.
Our bodies were made to move as much as our minds were made to think, and when we do both regularly, we step lightly yet firmly on our path.

It's like a castle
Standing guard over the land.
Grand, great, and timeless.
There are castles made by humans, and those by nature. I prefer the latter because they're not reserved for a small population of humans who feel that their blood is better than that of others.

Forever is Composed of Nows
Acrylic on paper
The title of an Emily Dickinson poem about forever and now inspired this painting about time, represented by clocks, a clock headed man, on a stairs, beside a grandfather clock, moving towards a door.

Pasul/פסול
We are still counting the worlds
destroyed
The morning the Torah scrolls
Waited to dance
Our ears echo with chants
from sacred days
Who by water and who by fire
Who by sword and who by wild beast
Who before their time
Who before their time
Blessed is the One
Who brings death and gives life
Who supports the broken
Bowed under the memories unlived
Of lives undone
Who remembers in compassion
The dead
Carrying a Torah of missing letters
To its burial

broke evening open wide
spoke—without words!—
mortal serpent coiled ready always ready
to strike with you aparlour
grey-feathered
whose movement only spirit
gusto breath
my own
my only
