and so it is...friends ;)

I had resigned myself from blogging for a while... after reading the responses of my morbidness i thought a while... and in truth i wasn't planning on responding. but today... today the wind was just right... the smell of fallen leaves so perfect... i twitched till i found a working pen. all darkness contains some light and all light contains some darkness, so says Chassidus, so says the ancient Chinese [as in ying and yang] etc. etc. so stop thinking in binary terms... it hurts the world.

here i wonder-
in this place of unimagineable stillness-
where language and thought
blend seemlessly,
endlessly-
a troupe of ballerinas
playing
on the last ivory keys of sensation.

here i walk-
in this indifferent city
of indifferent people
that in its repulsion
give me
the wallpaper
for my endless
blue space.

Here i am suffocated-
by a wind that is both
invigorating
and crippled.
here-
where the world seems perfect
in its imperfections-
awesome
and suicidal-
fatalistic
in its
breathtaking
sadness.

Only here-
under a sky quilted
with lost visions
is the expanse great enough
to relieve my thoughts
from a vessel
of broken
words.

here-
is the port of the emigrant soul
here-
is darkness that mothered light
here-
is the fragmented mirror
slilently reflecting
the disquiet of universal
wholeness.

Meaning, the Aleph (of the icon) will prevail over the obscenity on this page.

Don't worry about the other jealous folk.

I'm too tired to comment on your post, which is too deep for someone who shared her bed with her lil bro and hence had only 2 and half hours sleep, in 5 minute increments... But I DID want to say hi, see how you're doin, etc, and have been wondering - the previous post, is there someone I should know about? ;)
Miss ya babe.

Thanks for sharing, my dear bored hindi. I'll keep that in mind if I ever get bored of my current 'status' (which is currently dead).

Come to Israel for winter break? Will be fun. Can hook up with Ido, even. I thought of you the other day - my Dad named a kid and I was like, wait, I know that name...

What's with Europeans and memories as long as d'Nile... [pun intended]

some names are meant to float to that locked file cabinet in the back of your brain...
