carry that weight

lucinda william’s lantern jaw seems to have resolved itself

she southern gothic  me jewish gothic  +other similarities

who doesn’t wish they’d gone on the road like lucinda?

 

..happy shall be he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones

against the stones..  (Psalm 137:9)

 

leave the gothic homestead   of love  and hide you in a cellar

from the nazis redemption   i recently read that: not only are

you haunted by your own ghosts  but by those of your ancestors

 

chains jangling   bonyghost fingers pointing at your 3rd eye

..the result is to produce ghost-like secrets in the family

unspoken but indicated by so-called cryptic behaviour

by non-verbal para-speech and sometimes by being

incorporated materially into household objects..

(Mariá Török  psychoanalyst  Budapest  1944)

 ie., the zaida’s rocker  the bubba’s chicken pluckers  mother’s

 paris gowns..

 

jewish gothic makes Ebenezer’s posse pale by comparison   bloodrites

schmaltz   ovens  etc.,  (we even have the pedophilic driver of the getaway

car in Canada’s biggest bank heist!)    ABRUCH

 

but here’s the secretsauce people  according to my gnomic +jewish

meditation guru  you  DON’T  have to carry that weight   like Faulkner

who lucinda’s father considered an asshole   meditation teaches:

 

ditch the past   it itches like headlice   scratch   but don’t allow

boreholes into your soul   a good bottle of  chlorhex  shampoo  should

kill the girls  in bubba’s brothel

 

the road to hell is paved with

madaunts  mistresses of the fathers

+the renowned beauty of our women

 

RUN
