leitmotif blues

this is so hard  harder than leaving childhood  epiphanic  but

life ahead from here  backside of the mountain  to where?  25yrs

in the tall yellowhouse  mouldering   35  in smouldering marriage

 

today many handymen ransack +amok  trying to match paint and

patch scars  one pipes in  just hide the cracks  bringing to mind the

Japanese art of  Kintsugi

 

the beautiful breaks  humpty-gold in the cracks  dumpster at the ready

for my treasures +me   but  HARK!  the faint leitmotif breaks on thru

i’ve heard it before

 

my soundtrack

my argument

my question

my fate

if one more faux stoic says: amor fati   i will shiv em   your fate is not a

burden if you embrace where you came from  despise your origin story  you

rot  my old mother did (not rot) often saying: we were poor but always had food

 

she said that to all the fancyladies at the rez   they who pranced in their diamonds

+deshabille  shouting  WE LIVED IN WESTMOUNT!   well you ain’t living in

Westmount anymore       bitches

 

why can you never step into the same river twice grasshopper?  by the end you

cannot find the same river  or any river   your leitmotif   your thesis  is now your

final breath  when for the first+last time  you truly live in the fucking moment

 

+ btw  fuck Ram Dass

__

..we do not rush toward death  we flee the catastrophe of birth  

survivors struggling to forget it  fear of death is merely the projection

into the future of a fear which dates back to our first moment of life..

(Emil Cioran  1911-1995)

Spring 2025     let my people go Dathan!
