Oh this... I’m so busy packing and moving my life... and I stopped for two minutes..
In the maelstrom moments.. it’s words that calm me, fulfil me, detach me, awake me, drown me, awake me and when I’m lost, they find and lead me. Words bring me back to life...
It’s the moments of others lives so honestly written that give me strength to live my life authentically and powerfully.
Even though i may stumble often, fall I will not..
Whenever I'm depressed I watch this clip of Houllebecq dancing incredibly awkwardly, but with outrageous zeal, to Black Sabbath: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8tmCQUURiY
A downer but a well written downer. The moss, the fungi, the bugs, they are actually amazing and beautiful. Even the most devouring are divine. The poem should be titled, "I look at life and gag."

Also, a recommendation - I'm looking into doing some writing on a classic typewriter and loved the vibes of this dude: https://www.classictypewriter.com/our-story
You might have something in common.
“… a vague longing… you stop seeing death as something fatal… you move vaguely…” what a sad and forlorn piece. We can all hope to rise out of this.
Powerfully depressing - hard to do. He does it so well.
Yup, powerful in some unseen way. In the middle there is a change from I to you so it's hard to know who is speaking to whom.
That last line is a home run. This poem rings true.
Ironically it is only when you come to see that death is in fact not fatal can life go from black and white to color.
That’s good. I’m not sure I can explain why though. It just is.
exactly how I feel
Such a heart piercing poem. Loved it like hell!!🩷
Words are all I have to take your heart away.dave p
