“Because I do it with a small boat, I am called a pirate and a thief. You, with a great navy, molest the world and are called an emperor.”

— A captured Pirate's statement before Alexander The Great as stated by St. Augustine.

“In Xochinquahuitl” (The Flower Tree)

By Nezahualcóyotl [Translated by John Curl]

Begin the song in pleasure, singer, enjoy, give pleasure to all, even to Life Giver. Yyeo ayahui ohuaya.

Delight, for Life Giver adorns us. All the flower bracelets, your flowers, are dancing. Our songs are strewn in this jewel house, this golden house. The flower tree grows and shakes, already it scatters. The quetzal breathes honey, the golden flamingo breathes honey. Ohuaya ohuaya.

You have transformed into a flower tree, you have emerged, you bend and scatter. You have appeared before God’s face as multicolored flowers. Ohuaya ohuaya.

Live here on Earth, blossom! As you move and shake, flowers fall. My flowers are eternal, my songs are forever: I raise them: I, a singer. I scatter them, I spill them, the flowers become gold: they are carried inside the golden place. Ohuaya ohuayaya.

Flowers of raven, flowers you scatter, you let them fall in the house of flowers. Ohuaya ohuayaya.

Ah, yes: I am happy, I prince Nezahualcóyotl, gathering jewels, wide plumes of quetzal, I contemplate the faces of jades: they are the princes! I gaze into the faces of eagles and jaguars, and behold the faces of jades and jewels! Ohuaya ohuyaya.

We will pass away. I, Nezahualcóyotl, say, enjoy! Do we really live on earth? Ohuaya ohuaya.

Not forever on earth, only a brief time here! Even jades fracture; even gold ruptures, even quetzal plumes tear: Not forever on earth: only a brief time here! Ohuaya ohuaya.

Maurice Scève's La Delie, CCLXXII

Death might erase me and the hours and time

might want to turn to ashes my mortal remains

But for Death to make me no longer to desire

you, and for Death to extinguish all of my fire?

so much power Death does not contain.

Your heated disdain-fullness and all your cold essence

will make no difference, My love won't need your presence.

In my dead daring memories you'll go on living,

and in spite of Death, and against all absence

will bring to me, who am not, you, who are, living.

Robert Walser, from Fairy Tales; "Snow White" (trans. from the German by Daniele Pantano and James Reidel)

[Text ID: Snow White: Enough, enough, you are going mad. / Had I only not opened up / the poisoned wound. Now it's bleeding / fresh again and will never heal.]

MENAGERIE

By Max Blecher

Translated by Christina Tudor-Sideri

Here I am your fringed dog

with sword teeth to bite you, to bark at you

Here I am your snake to tempt you

With the apple of the sun to poison you

Here I am your rhinoceros in a clown tunic

Juggling to make you laugh

Here I am your giraffe. Capital letter

In the text of the day, read me A

Here I am the eagle of nightfall

With my heart alight in my beak like a lantern.

Wallet Dreams, Wonder Valley by Harold Budd

Vast teeny tracts of abandoned wishes - of even vaster wishes of not being there. (wherever that might be) A prayer: Let it smolder Let it glide Let it drift into another wish, Another dream. (from his collection of poetry, "Aurora Teardrops" 2016)
