"Love, taken seriously, is outlawed".
Why write novels?
dreams, visions and dark
sentences
rewrite history
after all everything
through him
came up
as
a sparrow
before him;
became
and
apart-from
him
became
not-even
one-thing:
chaos
in the clearing
knowing nothing
you invented
mystery (almost
a skepticism)
Gehenna of
la vida cotidiana
the punishment?
return to the paradise
of the earth
earthy assassins
------ me
hired gun
who works
to be ecstatic
alone
and kills
(Tush, you shall
not die)
snakes
and risks
all for
this return
our each
day's bread
give us
today
whose work is
criminal
(against the norm)
whose pleasure is
criminal
(against the law)
invents wildly
paying
scant attention
to connectives
'till
over his head
and
under his feet
the true
and
lively
word
burned
in his mouth
and
the darkness
it not overcame;
and the
first
secret
was learnt
in the
Orient.
David Colledge, Santiago de Chile, August 2002
