Kairos




the sun grows distant in the grey-striated sky,
a hazy stole wads the lacklustre barren crofts,
immured by deepening shadows, the lichens
and squamous excretions of crestfallen trees
acquiesce to the mauling jowls of languor.

then, in a trice, lifted from the hardening soil,
manes laced from aurous phosphenes foulder
across the wearisome pall, flinging vestigial
stabs of conscience cold-eyed into the venal
ingress of the bygones.

cleaving the fabric of time and space apart,
the flaming bosom of this eidolon burgeons
evermore ardently through the effluvium of
crawling chaos, and wounds invultuations
that stumble on her wayfaring.

for, beyond the mephetic parhelia of febrile
lures and gibbous mirages sprawls her feoff
in stark eloignment from mundane designs,
illumed by a twin of lodestars, wellsprings of
elegance and sovereignty.

A Fistful of Buddha

'How did I come into this', he told himself in thoughts, munching on a buttered ham sandwich, matter-of-factly, with the air of a man who has seen it all and came to accept the vicissitudes of life, still somewhat grudgingly. Suddenly, unaware that his moody rethoric question would turn out to be an adumbration of his forthcoming brewing imagination,this lama guy materializes close to him, floating saintly above the floor, all rugose leathery skin, all the bearings of sanctity, and all Eastasian insular smugness that comes with those ruddy chaps. It was one of those reincarnistas , who play with words: dharma, karma but sadly no shoarma to salivitate his appetite running asunder. The lama secreted bliss and smiled patronizing. No less like a magician holding all cards and conning the crowd to believe in his tricks. His speech was sheer catechismus,repeated over time til his voice, now shrill and trembling, buckling under all that panache, could no longer mask that his enl...

Torn-faced gig

There are people who suffer the consequence of a moment of neglect, the tiniest mistake. Overall, when they win with hardship three moves in a row, their action is felt like an act of provocation, and are send every which way but at least six moves in reverse. I gather a long time ago, that I belong to that category of involuntary sinners. Fair play is an abstract notion, the shadows are larger than ourselves and we're outrun by them. Like the haunting of a Black Hound, following the track of its victims, outsmarting their bid for a safe den. And so we're left with this existential crisis, wondering if that's all to it what we call life, do we have something to show for. Are we condemned to reap only the leftovers, in youth and old age, then wither, til no memory about us lingers forth and everyone else just continues with the order of the day. Move over, sucker, you're done for!.. We yearn for peace and serenity, and it hasn't happen yet and if we tas...

Free from their thoughts

In the cacophany of verbage, ready-made fonts and decontextualized quotes salvaged from the wrecks of cultures that crashes against the cliffs of jadedness, there have always come one a soul that took umbrage at those ghosts of thoughts and decides to walk alone in empty streets while the rain pelts heavy on the grey and rubbish-stubbed pavement and dares to look up to the gun-metallic grim sky that screets and howls but for the consequence of its own nature... and realizing one is oneself and the others themselves, a smile of the unvanquished is raised and all sense is bedded in a sudden enlightment that dispels the blue funk hammering the inside of the cranium with loose inquietude...
