ix: Albatross
By Feral
A collaboration with chance -
Why are you so drawn to the idea of
purpose?
Of separating and categorizing experience into
waking.real.rational.tangible.worthy
and
dreaming.faulty.irrational.dismissible
These perceptions run parallel, the
categories are lies and the attempt is nothing short
of intellectual dishonesty.
It is true - you do not trust your self.
You are lost.
Not the wandering lost, no, you have traveled
through weakness into uncertainty.
Questioning the instincts that served you
for decades.
Both eyes are open, but
This is not for you.
Close one, burn one out, sacrifice the lying orb
return to the studied attention
given to accident, chance, patterns
the howling laughter, returned.
A resonate form opens, its tendrils
as deep as they are distant.
Traveling in all directions, refracted through
thought, through memory, through perception
through senses as yet unnamed but whose fringes
are at the edges, influential if not acknowledged.
Its hum is marked by reverberating crashes
carried by the winnowing winds in aerial clashes of intent
Bloom,
bloody and beautiful
a towering fulgurite once more.

I don’t know why, but this is making me want to call up taoist quotes. Well, I do know why, but that is beside the point. My point is this, lady: this write, your language, this way of expressly constructing ideas (yes, I nabbed it…well sort of) is so uniquely yours… knowing you, it probably has an elemental signature that stands out in the ultra violet spectrum. Stop being so damn clever. “…a resonate form opens” …the last three stanzas really pull this together. Now' fulgurite… that’s curious to be sure; can’t quite figure on what is the key element here, the sand, the lightning or the glass. Curious, very curious. ~b

The concept that embracing uncertainty can lead to a more profound and significant form of existence is a remarkable notion.

It absolutely is, in every Rilkean sense of the word. Thank you, my friend.
