Skin Song

Posted on May 13, 2020 by ubu507

crosscurrents

She was so full of grace
That there was no limb of her body
That did not feel particular grace

The overcomer of senses
Bedewed with the dew of divinity
And the song of bare skin

This she has made known
To me in her glory
Penetrating deeply into
Her eternal nature

She was far and near
High and low
Present and yet hidden
She made herself accessible
Yet no one could grasp her

— Heinrich Seuse (ca. 1295-1366)

her body radiates awareness
not nothingness but something
all she has in her hunger a
desperate whimper she
rode around in buses
being female

The Queen Of Heaven Of The Dawn

In Countless Forms Behold Her

Uncovering a revelation of the divine
Undoing manifest creation
Communicating across the abyss
In a great bloom of exultant flesh

Literocity In Suburbia

Posted on May 5, 2020 by ubu507

suburbia

They were all escapees from the city, driven to the country by a desire to live apart from their neighbors, only to discover a new kind of neighborly intimacy and torment in each others’ beds.
