[ Je suis belle, ô mortels! comme une rêve de
pierre]
[The Beloved woke. We became That
and the lake is crystal clear]
[comme un lait nourricier et bleu;
je suis suspendu à vos bouches
femmes, cœur de vinaigre durs
Iness,
Invité]
I dissolve Clonazepam into Laudanum
and swallow my Venlafaxine down,
Then light up a Marlboro and take a deep puff,
exhaling it at the full moon,
hiding herself partially behind the grey clouds
My eyes are closed,
my room is dark
and only a faint, flickering image of your
face appear before me,
Neena,
Art thou a mirage or someone real?
An angel caught up in earth
Or,
A daemon of my imagination?
You replied well to another poet,
but to me,
you were always vague,
deliberately keeping me on the edge,
with your melodramatic over reactions.
And what I thought to be a
wheel of passion,
was actually the wheel of fortune,
the thread was snapped
way before I realised my fate.
But in the end,
are there any difference between the two?
I probably misunderstood both those
wheels,
they take you nowhere,
but make you roam in a strange circle
only to lead you to disappointment
and nothingness.
This nothingness is now my life as I
sit on a canvas chair on the balcony,
looking at a couple of dogs on the street
and their burning eyes
while a few cats fly across the sky.
And I have a razor on my hand,
I want to slit my wrists,
and finish this whole business for ever.
'Que voluz-vous? ', I hear the fiend ask
me from inside,
and all I do is cut my thighs,
a couple of straight A's across both ones,
Are those scarlet or mere red?
I know not,
for all I see is your image,
your eyes covered in glasses,
but I feel the blood run through my legs,
warm and with a life of its own,
It turns the Lake red
And the Blood does speak,
as it flows in an asymetrical pattern
'You are the Theban King, who's eyes are intact,
You are his daughter without the
walls around her,
You are the Prince from Denmark,
without his philosophy and
eloquence,
You are the woman directed toward
the nunnery
without drowning yet,
You are Antoine Roquentin,
You are Esther Greenwood,
You are madame Sosostris
and her client at the same time
You are Lèon Robinson
and Ferdinand too,
You're Kurtz
and Marlow,
You are everything
and nothing,
You are yourself,
and someone else too....
You are your own doppelgänger
You are, my fellow,
a poète maudit...
