THE ZODIAC

 

Remaining through morn

in the bedroom sleeping bag

at the farm outside Niemisel,

apprehending something big

when winter stands as fallen from the skies

(before the badly insulated Per Albin house

from the1930s

has been warmed up

through collected efforts with firewood

out in the boiler room

right across the courtyard)

is presumptuos

 

The Big Thing hangs in the balance

as it is

The small thing isn't particularly small either...

 

The entire Universe is layered in the different keys

of incredible departures

and far too many arrivals to keep track of

 

For each heartbeat in every cardiovascular system

the Universe stands blushing

in billions upon billions of galaxies

 

Each opportunity stands aggravated

on the MIG/MAG-welded surface tension of each instant

 

The Dead are point blank goners,

and all stray ideas would gather

in one single disappearance

if the costs went down

enough

for us to afford engaging the geothermal heating

 

But each existence is a gyroscope

on which everything depends,

from thought to action

and along everything in between

 

The Sky arches;

the Body – duly assembled and mechanically elegant -

strolls off, in act & purpose,

in step with daily & hourly

 

In the aftermath of everything

follows its consequence

 

Refluxes torment the overall experience,

but once a year, Dr. Stina Schell restarts

the blessed prescription

 

 

Around us, the constellations are always at hand

in Stockhausen's TIERKREIS

and life undermines itself

 

 

My Self is a peephole

The Universal Alter Ego is on its knees, gazing

 

Come to think of it;

if I remain up in the bedroom

yet an hour,

Anna will have stepped out

into the mad cold

to hammer the wood burner

unto its maximum:

This one's a little all over the place. There are bits and pieces here I like though.

The whole however kinda just didn't even phase me
