Fisherman's knot


le pêcheur se tient à la limite du flot - eau qui dort - poids des monts - mots tus, ne pas laisser frêmir l'appât - attentintemporelle - attentat soi

Quel est l'imbécile qui un jour déclara "l'espoir fait vivre"?

Yesterday, I had a dream.
It was dark all around, and little by little I pulled myself up to the gates of heaven. I hoisted myself up by my bootstraps, holding my breath so as not to disturb the clouds - and my hands slipped and bled, but skin held and skin pressed, and when skin met the warmth of golden sun, I knew I'd reached the doors through which all paths could be sublime - sublimated from solid earth to scent -
and for one supreme moment, I rose above the clouds and saw the open gates, threw my mind ahead to lit the way, then the lights went on again - and I saw the rope I'd been clinging to was but a whisp of discarded air - and I fell, hard, back to reallife in the blink of an eye -
and with this blink I woke up , angel-cursing profane once more.


Sleep does us no good.
So let's stay awake the whole night long...and all the nights that'll be...mind masochists escaping the solace of nightmares.

pas de problème éveillé je crée moi même mes cauchemars.

oui moi aussi !

I'm waking with the roaches
the world has surrendered
I'm dating ancient ghosts
[the ones I made friends with]
the comfort of fireflies
long gone before daylight

and if I had one wish fulfilled tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
if God lent his voice to me to speak
I'd say: "go to bed, world!"
