Your Best Shot*
   
  Draw me a dance.
  The waves laugh.
  What starts in the hands
  Was really born in the brain
  Or it makes no sense.
  Welcome to poetry
  Where logic needs to be introduced.
  The spiral consists of circles.
  In another time, we expect a radiant outcome.
  Become the center.
  If you choose the periphery,
  The sun may have to move closer.
  Prayer wheels turn
  But stand in one place
  Simultaneously.
  Let go of that sand mandala
  Once it is finished.
  Either your mantra tells you
  Or I will, whichever
  Your prefer to need to hear.
  Does vocal music begin
  With our first scream?
  Sometimes it ends
  With a later one.
   
  Jesus no longer moves on his cross.
  Had he been taught to dance,
  Would he have had another option?
  Get in touch with words.
  The right ones can
  Return you to your music.
  The earth moves
  But your dance is more varied.
  Even earthquakes may have
  The same rhythm.
  When they throw up their arms,
  Someones fly
  But not very far.
  Their song requires words
  No one understands.
  At their crumbling temple,
  We make new circles
  Around and about our desires.
  Onstage as well as off,
  Health brightens your eyes
  And lightens the spirit behind them.
  A lover who understands you
  Would be a nice bicycle to the next life,
  Wherever he or she is.
  My work is my specialty
  Everyone is involved in.
  Come back full of love.
  It works better than vegetarianism
  Except to some flowers and trees.
  Ring a bell for dead lovers.
  Ask the mind if they appear.
  The past remains friendly
  If you live there.
  Never put on a sorry face.
  Your dance is unique
  Even when you're only walking.
  Everyone has burdens to balance.
  The eagle is land
  But will reascend soon.
  The heart of health salutes you.
  It dances, too.
  Your end could be a new beginning

Fodder of dead hours

The curve of a voice resonates

What immovable thing ignites

A blood-stained potbelly

  Omar Khyam as a terrorist
  Forgets his Rubaiyat and hides.
  Poetry in motion--a song,
  A car, a truck once carrying
  Poets to their readings,
  Goes forward without hearing appeals.
  Use that seatbelt next time, poet.
  If you die, you fly.  But
  The highway to the sky has collapsed.
  We consulted a potential earthquake
  But there was no response.
  Remain in charge of your own intelligence.
  What could have been done but wasn't
  Hasn't shown it's face for years.
  Pay your price; bear its responsibility.
  We have other burdens for you to sign onto
  If you answer to the description: fool.
  Pine for your own dead opinions
  As they follow you after you die.
  A public case for my removal
  Drowned under the test of time.
  The rest of your decisions have been shredded
  By forces beyond their own humanity.
  Your pet goat has asked to be cooked
  But our leaders insist on sheep.
  You didn't know you took action.
  Your witnesses speak softer than words.
  Words have exhausted their appeals.
  The fanatics have eaten all their fans.
  Setting the record straight
  Now requires more than a marriage
  Of imagination and circumstance.
  Our staffers are standing by
  To accept your gratitude and record your pleas.
  Your regime has been initiated into the truth
  And has been found to be beyond incorporation.
  Convenience as hyperbole
  Searches for a new planet it cannot find.
  However far back you go,
  The past rejects you and remains mute.
  The future has learned its lessons
  And refuses to appear while your shadow remains.
  So your attempts to turn a blind eye or a deaf ear
  Summon only some uncertified doctors
  Looking for medicines yet to be created.
  They can debate eagerly or without enthusiasm
  But their experiments have crashed into the void.
  Room is still available inside
  Hoping that you will care to join it
  Before or after your next lie.
  The need to compete just died of starvation.
  There is no chance for its resurrection.
  It disappeared without leaving your trace.
  No serious job remained for it to do.
  We feel no emotion but joy from its departure.
  The night backs us up in our determinations
  Even before today's sun goes down.
  Up and downscale retirees laugh at its wake.

Loops for Shakers*
   
  Round and around you run inside me.
  Were this a tango for three,
  A tree might join in.
  Jagged edges resolve.
  A solution opens to silence
  Then closes again.
  A mountain dances
  With some hills.
  The clouds stretch out
  Then pass under.
  A pause that refreshes lingers
  Until it touches the outer soul.
  A kind of musical sleep
  Looks for its dreams.
  Will it find them?
   
  We're at the threshold
  Of a new cliff.
  It speaks to us.
  We hear it softly.
  A glance of sunlight
  Pierces the dark
  And is absorbed.
  What we let in
  Arrives without announcement.
  A tune begins
  Then echoes
  Before it can complete.
  This road runs never
  The same way twice.
  If you ask the rain,
  It explains.
  Horizontals.
  Back  and forth.
  We go on breathing
  Until we leave.
  On the verge of bliss,
  The kiss we get
  Is from air.

  The day Buddha's birthday and Easter coincide,
  I see a play called Before God Was Invented,
  Expecting nothing.  Joe Franklin, the host
  Of a long-dead show called Memory Lane
  Strides past me in the waiting area.
  Audience members are prized
  At old Theater For The New City,
  Even the dead and rearrived.
  Am I a pirate of penance
  Attending a so-called Pagan play?
  We sing to all of me.
  Why not take that high note, baby?
  What a noisy trance you dance to.
  Before the nuclear family,
  Did nature create it's own bonds?
  Cavemen Bodhisattvas lost in a time warp
  Show their muscles and choose women.
  The ghost of Frank Zappa
  Seems to be their leader.
  Carried away--maybe he's just sleeping.
  Prometheus gave you fire
  Then skipped out, happily, into the dark.
  Time remains mean when moving slowly.
  Silence gilds the beautiful young body boy.
  Loud fervor fails to impress the moon.
  Pretty boy hides behind temporarily happy bush.
  Flowers shiver from his touch.
  Follow your own feet without tripping.
  Up in a Central Park of the Pleistocene
  The animals don't want to be eaten
  Though the women  men want to fuck.
  Oh sod, thy earth is dirty, dirty
  In the eyes of near-sighted beholders.
  Two tribes per zoo
  May not be viable long.
  Where did they get a rope in prehistory?
  Someone knitting, knitting in the dark?

  Serpents dance.
  It's a moving trance.
  Why do I keep thinking
  Their light is a dog?
  Thoughts pass so quickly
  But take up a lot of time,
  A permanent handclasp
  From an angel's discarded clothes.
  Show me that plough
  And it's fruits.
  While reptiles inform us of their state,
  Do we placate them or just watch, huh?
   
  Don't force it, the light seems to say.
  Excess could be bliss
  But how is it defined, now?
  If darkness prevails, then what?
  There may not be any more answers
  To these questions.
  Voices in the night
  Simply go on talking.
  Hieroglyphs in space
  Start to resemble the stars.
  Sorrow is of no use at all.
  Run the race backwards if you can.

  There will still be sound.

There may be or should be limits to the use of alliteration when it defies or 
some would say perhaps transcends sense into senselessness.  Those who follow 
beyond this point do so only at their own risk even if others are carried along 
with it, at least temporarily.

The Tyrant of Art*
   
  I'll be your master
  If you insist on being my slave.
  Look at the world.
  If it looks back, smile
  Your most natural, unspontaneous smile.
   
  Expecting difference erases it.
  Leave good wishes behind
  Long before you die.
  They rot after you're gone.
  Be free to express ugliness.
  It becomes you
  Until you move on.
   
  Life is a hardon
  Only to a very wry horse.
  Leotards don't fit on a lion.
  Infamy fits anyone.
  Stones cry tears
  When rain obliges.
   
  The question eats the answer
  And is freed.
  Look beyond the object
  Of your desires,
  Empty as a friend
  Who has let you go.
   
  You're fired is not yet an opera
  But it soon may be
  For mid-level, middlebrow bores.
  Books are different.
  Something has to happen in them.
  Motorcycles don't have minds of their own,
  Only nostalgia for the dead.
  Confession boxes have been replaced by ATM's.
  Their action is similar
  Although the results are more real
  When the cash spot is pressed.
  Emotions were nice, weren't they?

Experience is greater than God since He probably
  Doesn't exist and it obviously does.  Every morning
  When I sit for meditation, I lose track of time for
  An hour, since I no longer cheat by bringing my watch
  To the cushion where my posterior rests.  It's amazing
  How much quickly the hour passes while watching
  Whatever happens inside the body.  It could even
  Be said to be an experience outside of time,
  If that didn't sound too pseudo-mystical and
  A slight bit pretentious.  It's also interesting
  Perhaps to note how much more quickly time
  Passes as we age.  But that may require
  Another poem at a different time.

Epilepsy Time

Epilepsy TimeI have a small, white scar  Running up the middle of my left hand,  I got in India thirty-five years ago  When I fell off a Himalayan cliff  And tumbled twenty feet down.  I climbed back up onto the road  And walked until I found some people.  The blood was pouring from my hand  And my head. I was carried  To an Indian army hospital  Where I was sewn up under local anesthesia,  A little of which wore off  With each stick of the sewers' needle.  The scar has receded over many years.  Now it is whiter than anything else on me.Tom Savage  10/26/06

Therefore  I can safely say that if someone  Were to discover more, previously  Unpublished work by this great writer,  I would devour it hungrily as soon  As it became available in English,  My French not being and never having been  Up to Proust, unfortunately, in the original French.Tom Savage  9/5/06Sheila Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:my lapdog whines near center field  I think often in maps without possessing internal geography  where she has been implies my father is your notary  do you waltz?  against my better justice there are lord's prayers all around us  give me a shawl to widen how near warmth will be  hypotenusereveals the closest thing to peace  you are the closest peace I curl up I find  exceptions to the rule sleep now what  are you thinking are there memories   aligned with how the weather prompts   my squint to match your integers  damagine impromptu frostsheila e. murphy

What realm do you speak of, here?  Some Chinese Buddhists believe in a Heaven  And pray or meditate for it, though I'm  Not one of these. I've written plays about  A Heaven designed specifically for artists  To which they must apply after dying.  I don't think you mean this either.  I wish you many more blisses than  Apparently you've had so far,  If poetry tells the truth here  Which it doesn't always  As I'm sure you know. Anyway  Don't go looking for it by  Going blotto. Surely  We know that's the road  To no peaceable kingdom  Any of us would want to reach.  As for the "pure land" I alluded to  At the beginning, I know little  About it except to doubt  That that was what the Buddha  Was asking us to look for

To answer the question posed by this entry would require much of Western philosophical thought and all of Eastern religion. Either there just isn't room for even a reasonable response to this question or, I could say, what is real is two eyes staring at these words on a screen.Alan Sondheim [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  yes yes what is real.I will look in Samuel Johnson's Dictionarythat is Samuel Johnson, L.L.D.no I won't, I traded 8 cartons of booksfor the 1799 edition, 2 volumes probablytwenty pounds. these indentations areborrowed from python.Samuel Johnson knows what's real, relatingcode primarily to codicil; he was more orless unfamiliar with machine language,but good with assembly. leave it to himto go up a step.so it's economics, these valuable bookswhich are difficult to read,

You spelled Draconian properly though it may be with a capital D.

Re: practice is a nice one here's an old one also for scriabin

2006-08-21 Thread Thomas savage
Hey Steve, nice to see you're a fan of Scriabin, one of my favorite composers, especially for the piano. His music for the solo piano has always seemed more interesting and moving to me than that of Rachmaninoff, whom everyone loves. Of course, R's cello  piano sonata is incomparable. Still, over all, I think Scriabin comes out the winner if there is such a thing as competition between dead composers, which I doubt.[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  scr i a bin ( the black mass)- we put our hands to these dead we are born not of the buried but of these unburied dead- Charles Olson Le Preface these dead/ they walk again within usslow poemslyrical etudesdramatic re-awaken//ingsrepeated stones falling fromolympus{})){))})it is this lightthat allows us to be borndead

House of Sand*Postcards from the sky and the sea  Dry and harden into dust.  The skin of a beach  Could be you, soon.  Get some in your eyes  Then close them.  The sky covers itself.  You cover me.  The crater in front of you  Is for corpses.  Everywhere there are children.  A labyrinth of circles  Winds you closer  Until it stops  And you stop, too.  Shadows make a desert thrive.What real music is like  Has always been difficult to explain.  When they got to the moon, they found sand.Tom Savage  8/12/06
