O Demogorgon

Jul 31, 2019 13:53

At the point
Of origin lies
Recurrence
An unmasking
  of the essential
Inversion of genesis
Contriving illusionary
Dichotomies out
  of beginings
    and ends.

The Demi-gorgon of origin
from the land of Oregon
and the beats are gone!
As laid out in Genesis
your poetry is prescient
to make a fine essence

Thank you for accepting my offer, and being so generous with your readings and comments!
I did study Creative Writing, at Ohio University-Athens, graduating in 2012, however, fat lot of good that has done for me. . . at this point in my life I have made approximately $5.91 from writing, in total! Not that writing is about money though, far from it. . . Quite the opposite, in fact. . . Especially if we want to give Ferlinghetti the revolution he has been waiting for, no? Also, I dig your riff on this one! 'Demi-gorgon of origin from the land of Oregon' is where it's at, man!

that stuff mostly just rings in my head, no thinking required
as a painter, sound is like colour, it has moods and emotions and paints images and associations, i guess
that's why i am so attracted to music as well
thanks for your friendship. it's mutual
regards

Your comment reminded me of Rimbaud's "Voyelles" :

A Black, E white, I red, U green, O blue : vowels,
I shall tell, one day, of your mysterious origins:
A, black velvety jacket of brilliant flies
Which buzz around cruel smells,

Gulfs of shadow; E, whiteness of vapours and of tents,
Lances of proud glaciers, white kings, shivers of cow-parsley;
I, purples, spat blood, smile of beautiful lips
In anger or in the raptures of penitence;

U, waves, divine shudderings of viridian seas,
The peace of pastures dotted with animals, the peace of the furrows
Which alchemy prints on broad studious foreheads;

O, sublime Trumpet full of strange piercing sounds,
Silences crossed by Worlds and by Angels:
O the Omega, the violet ray of Her Eyes!
