"Rising" - Lhasa... because angels come and go...

navigating the WEB
jackson pollock - number 1 (lavender mist)
the spider wondered along the thin fragile web
hoping to find
a frightened captive fly
just to have a chat with.
this immense void the web incarnated
boggled him also.
he felt alone,
all day sewing his web strings,
no one to talk to,
no one to ask for an opinion or advice,
no one to share his web with.
and the web,
this overwhelming web,
kept growing
day by day.
none to find at any end of any thread
the days went by.
in the morning
he takes his coffee
around the north-western corner,
watching the sun blazing up the sky.
he feels relaxed.
at that time you need nobody to talk to,
too early for words or even glimpses.
at brunch
he strolls along the south.
it's warmer there around eleven.
besides,
you can listen to a Parus Caeruleus
wondering by that time of day.
it's cozy.
at noon
lunch is best in the west.
a John Wayne feeling overwhelms you.
the five o'clock tea
is yet the best to be
pendulous to a branch
along the northern tree.
and so
at dinner,
the last meal of the day,
accustomed to be lonely,
he creeps unmissed
in a corner to the east.
he can't stand losing
the following morning sunset.
'cause that may be
his only friend.
laying low he falls asleep
waiting.
stumbling in English
my tongue
is searching
for some sort of language
to be able to speak in.
wracked among words
of no specific culture,
belonging to no one
and all
at the same time
i do find myself.
nobody told me
when i first came here
the need to be assigned
could ruin
even speech.
why do i bother?
oh, the hell, why do i bother?
heaven and hell alike
need no confinements.
nor do i.
God
bears
different names
only because of us.
He's still the same
with no other otherness
than the names we named Him.
what art configuration
do i need to perform
so everyone
can hear me?
can you imagine
the titanic battle
that crams into my mouth?
can you hear my tongue breaking?
hoping to find the right words...
words... words... words...
my poor sweet Hamlet
how do i catch thy arduousness.
now is the time for our battles
the language to be broken
into so many pieces
there'll be no language left
no more!
all understanding all.
no boundaries left to cross
not even words.
and
then
i can rest my tongue.

never gonna give up
phone photo by me
never gonna give up smoking
(or should i?)
and dreaming by the way...
never gonna give up making bad jokes
in inappropriate moments
(not my fault actually, i'm made this way)
and laugh at all life saves for me
never gonna give up drinking tea
(nor coffee for that matter)
and enjoying each warm embrace
never gonna give up talking 'bout myself
(my selfish self-seeking person)
and listen to all the stories around me
never gonna give up kissing in the morning
(though any time is good for kissing)
and staying late in the night watching you sleep
never gonna give up wanting love
(cause hate i'm full of it)
and making love,
or at least trying to,
as much as i can
never gonna give up smoking
(that's for sure)
and i know i want so much...
i want a long lasting life
for the fun of it!
