Tennessee Williams part VII

VII. You and I

Who am I?

A wounded man, badly bandaged,

a monster among angels or angel among monsters,

a box of questions shaken up and scattered on the floor,

 

A foot on the stairs, a voice on a wire,

a busy collection of thumbs that imitate fingers,

an enemy of yours. Your lover.

Tennessee Williams part VI

VI. The Ice-Blue Wind

 

Being expert on the zither

he gave concerts twice a winter ...

 

His fingers knew The Ice-Blue Wind

that single score and nothing more.

 

But what of that? It did suffice

to close him in a wall of ice,

 

Tinged with distance, always blue,

which somehow warmed him through and through.

 

Long, long after all had gone,

and in the hall crept winter dawn,

 

He would strike a final string,

take a bow and proudly shin

 

Up a column up to the roof,

in union with The Absolute.

V. Wolf's hour

 

Well, it's three A.M.

after an hour's sleep and a blond youth who declined to stay with me.

Wolf's hour of night is not well-spent alone.

 

Nevertheless there is this bit of comfort:

in my hands' curved remembrance there remains indelibly

the unclothed flesh of the youth who refused to stay longer,

and I could settle for less,

God knows if not unknowing.

Haïku - Death

 
DEATH
 
I am dead again
Dead without grave or any wreaths
My heart still beating

Asking God to take me there,
Quick - without regrets, remorses.

 
 

Galaxy Accrostic et Haïku

 
 
M illiards years before
I deal way was born
L

K
nitting of shining stars
Y
ellow and white lights

W alking in heaven
A

Y
ears after years it stays

-----------------------------------------

So far from us is
A galaxy called Milky
you can read it just

In raising your eyes towards
Sky and find the peace in heaven

Tennessee Williams part IV

 
 

IV. Liturgy of Roses

 

This is for you for whom bloom certainly roses ...

 

and all of those doors floating open on those who have roses

going to those who have roses, in chambers which those without roses

possess no license to enter.

 

Roses, all roses, the immense impartiality of all God

and all roses,

orifice emptying, never emptied of roses.

 

Because you are tolerant only of those who have roses,

Your eyes ... saying, These roses, all roses, my roses,

Though still in the arms of those who came bearing roses.

 

And by the same token confessing: My tongue, my tongue,

not your body,

my body, my body, not yours,

while murmuring You, while continually murmuring

You, you, you, which is translated to I

no matter how murmured to whom.

Part III - TENNESSEE WILLIAMS

 
 

III. Winter Smoke

Winter smoke is blue and bitter:

women comfort you in winter.

 

Scent of thyme is cool and tender:

girls are music to remember.

 

Men are made of rock and thunder:

threat of storm to labor under.

 

Cypress woods are demon-dark:

boys are fox-teeth in your heart.

Tennessee Williams (part II)

 

II. Cruising

 

Noontime youths,

thighs and groins tight-jean-displayed,

loiter onto Union Square,

junkies flower-scattered there,

lost in dream, torso-bare,

young as you, old as I, voicing soundlessly a cry ...

 

Androgyne, mon amour,

shadows of you name a price

exorbitant for short lease.

What would you suggest I do,

wryly smile and turn away,

fox-teeth gnawing chest-bones through?

 

Even less would that be true

than, carnally, I was to you

many, many lives ago,

requiems of fallen snow.

 

Androgyne, mon amour,

cold withdrawal is no cure

for addiction grown so deep.

Now, finally, at cock's crow,

released in custody of sleep,

dark annealment, time-worn stones

far descending,

no light there, no sound there,

entering depths of thinning breath,

farther down more ancient stones,

halting not, drawn on until

 

Ever treacherous, ever fair,

at a table small and square,

not first light but last light shows ...

Androgyne, mon amour.

miss you

MISS YOU ...

Miss you yesterday,
Miss you today & tomorrow
Miss you in heaven ...

Miss you before and after
Miss you now and for ever

you and I (part 1) Tenessee Williams

 

 

 

I. You and I

 

Who are you?

A surface warm to my fingers,

a solid form, an occupant of space,

a makeshift kind of enjoyment,

a pitiless being who runs away like water,

something left unfinished, out of inferior matter,

 

Something God thought of.

Nothing, sometimes everything,

something I cannot believe in,

a foolish argument, you, yourself, not I,

an enemy of mine. My lover.

PLANES

 
 
P owerful means of transport
L iberation for travelling
A nswer to your speedy life
N oisy sometimes over our heads
E eagle, Airbus, Concorde or Rafale ...

Because I love you

 

My love, because I love you

(extrait de 4 mariages et un enterrement) William H Austen

 
 

Stop war, let silence the quarrels and tensions subside.
My love is dead this morning.
Make stop engines, make airplanes land and boats rest at the port.
My love is dead this morning.
Do turn off televisions, radios and close your newspapers.
My love is dead this morning.

Make extinguish the fireworks, the bonfires and the limelight.
My love is dead this morning.
Make stop songs, cries and moans;
My love is dead this morning.
Make silent birds, dogs and all animals.
My love is dead this morning.
Turn off all lights, neon lights and lighthouses.
My love is dead this morning.
Stop the waves of the sea, turn off the sun and stars.
My love is dead this morning.
Stop the race of  Earth, the growth of plants and the development of seasons.
My love is dead this morning.
Ask the life a pause, death to wait a bit and stop its course.
My love is dead this morning.
Give to infants their bottles , ask the children to silence and adults to give them an example.
My love is dead this morning.
Comfort the wounded, comfort the dyings and  calm the livings.
My love is dead this morning.
Stop the discussion, stop the laughters and hold your tears.
My love is dead this morning.
Do not move, don’t  make more noise and remain silent
My love is dead this morning.
Do keep a candle as a glimmer in the dark.
My love is dead this morning.
If you manage to do that, just a moment, for a second,
Then you will understand what calm
and what appeasement I felt during every moment with her (him)

against the war

 

AGAINST THE WAR 

The insanity of each battle,
And people attack each other
And people die..

Somewhere, Miles away,
Families cry,
And tears show no preferences,
They visit everyone
Along with pain
That decides to stay a bit longer...

God shows no preferences
at Paradise’s gates no passport is asked
Just the identity of the soul,
Nationality: the Tribe of kindness.
And when angels are given their wings
No questions are asked,
The colour doesn’t matter,
Archangels are blind,
The nation doesn’t matter,
Archangels come from Heaven
And Heaven is a miniature of the Earth,
All that matters is the beauty of the heart,
Archangels have studied Art…
