What
Gives My Freedom?
What
gives? What gives my freedom? When the sky is a big blue lantern, raised
by a strong maiden, to view the planet's happiness from happiness on high
early in the Spring-- Going by? Pass this way! Toss with me to the wind
a while a ballast: ten thousand million billion things. Away! A wind screefs
the sky, then rain, a gentle reminder: let go: Die. Gently. Each rain
trajectory a sweeping scan, lazy exclamation mark, and as it touches down
in your ears/soul/shell: all is well where wind and willow linger. Dip
a finger. Lull. Loll.
When we
layed back lackadaisical, you and I, on grassy dunes above the beach,
and towers of white clouds yonder played out our lighthearted majesty--
When with a palm-cup of sand held, global gold drift from fingers, when
wind among firs was drifting sufficiency. When a river removed its shoes,
I went barefoot to meet it, prepared at first to download, to deposit
in this old bank my old account, or unaccountable, what was thought of
rot down there, the river said, and the riverbank, but bliss? Here I said
is the model of my bliss! Who sang songs out the long twisted cave
of my ancestors, spun their Ariadne's thread to this flying shuttle, carpet
that I am, that "weaves itself"? Who in the promotions of Karma
uploaded into music--a "piece" of music--or a whole of music?
Who was the Fur Elise radiated (maieusis) in raptus trance by Ludwig
Beethoven, here from the CD, here from the Walkman cassette? It was the
body who wanted a different name, because the name flew out to the "biography."
To what extent is the body biography, this biography? What, precisely,
may be the poles, terminals to arc the medium? What is not media? What
is not downloading, uploading, sideloading? Re-loadings in the high summer's
buzzwords, wasps, honey soldiers off in their cups, AWOL? Shaking gold
dust from their feet.
