Shadowy Wings

-

Unspoken softly, the smooth silent story 
spills the secrets. The glow of the moon 
reveals all, yet, starry skies tell lies
in response to my cries
The seconds slip by, drip-drop into the sea,
swishes fwish krrrrksh
crescendos to the break, crux
achieved through beads of raging glory 
O hearken, heed, my angelic one:
 a spoken story
of heaven and hell and of tolling bells;
the beggars music, 
they tell
Who’s story must be tell'd, i sit 
shivering
shaking
 sobbing in the cold,
sipping slipping stripping
goes tongue, mind  body, soul
flies away, splinters, cascading oh slamming,
into the shining sun, exploding her rays
 staying until the day fades,
But the night will not come
Share with me your heel of bread,

a side of your bed, second skin you shed.

I used to be one of you,

 before i was dead.

(From 6/30/15) 3:00 PM Sitting in Recoleta park. Beautiful unbelievably beautiful. Sunny day here in Buenos Aires.

I visited a theatre turned bookstore and a museum, which was free and kinda blah, and now I’m looking up at the massive metal structure of a flower. People are strewn horizontally about on the cut grass, as if reenacting the fallen soldiers on a battlefield. Around 5:45 now…I’m stalling in this café, around 15 minutes away from Linsey’s house and we’re meeting around 6:30. I don’t want to order something else because I haven’t really eaten anything substantial today and I don’t want to fill up on this stuff. And trying to rest my weary dogs I mean damn! Just like Paris. Except I think I’m a little more tired, probably puts me on the same consciousness level I suppose. The owner lad...

Coming Right Up

Coming right up is a trip to Argentina! I too thought one country in South America would be enough, but really that is kind of a silly thought. Because Brasil is kind of the country in South America that is the odd one out anyways. Portuguese speaking and so much bigger than the rest, it would only make sense to go to Buenos Aires as well. Also because Devon said it would be diggity to go visit! Well, exciting to be sure and the word is that the city is quite charming. Back in Sao Paulo for a few days, rain is threatening to crack the simmering humidity but has so far withheld its splashing water so the air hugs us tight. If one wishes to take photos of buildings, Sao Paolo is truly a great destination. There are buildings far and few and in the middle, in the background and in the foreground and to every side. Some are old, some are new, some brightly painted and some streets lined entirely with the dullest gray imaginable. Some are under construction, wrapped loosely in torn baggy...
