Chapter One
Short History of the PinesWhat stories were le untold? I returned home and stood for a long time looking out the window,
watching the fog roll in across the meadow, watching the light change to blue, deepening gently: a woman inside my head calling my return.
Ready
Every now and then I become self-loathing trying to close the gap, moving within that inaccessible given.
There isn't much I don't want to try but seldom do I finish much - living in the unknown.
Why is it that the winds a en some of the sea grass while others bend gently, as if forgiven?
I do not know about the mechanics of such seductions, how one moves from summer to fall in a different time zone without disassembly,
when intent meets reality, fulfilled at last: after-shocks of passion, geometric bliss.
I always wanted my poetry to finger her in my absence, to hear her cries of ecstasy across the emptiness, calling me.
And the perfume of my salvation that that might draw me back once again - I am ready for it now.
No Laughing Matter
Shadows stretch across the floor, waiting, it's a lonesome pastime, better left to sailors' wives.
Did you to hear the sparrow's song calling from the tall grass?
It's raining again. Seeping through the crack in the window pane, forming black coffee colored stains on the freshly painted sill.
Like the scoop of an oar, part of you pours out of me. The sound of frost covered grass as you walk out from the house, almost daybreak.
I am still unsure whether your talk is an invitation to action or a substitute for it. And I'm feeling like Florentino in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera.
More coffee, vapors, surface refractions, searching for a sign, a likeness of you. The last song plays, silence.
More silence.
The coffee is cold now, and I fail to see the humor in it, but then ...
it's no laughing matter.
Self-Portrait as Contemplation and Doubt
Every morning I stare into my coffee and see my own reflection, and alone into its depths my soul wanders, separating from the near to become the far,
to make me want you more, here, where the morning air still chills, tenderly,
to see your form sleeping under the sheets of doubt, until you lift them an invite me in to warm you,
wanting something that is not something else.
The Undoing of Lingering Doubt
We're not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be. - C.S. Lewis
And the undoing works out its implications without suffering humiliation or further frustration:
She had come to me to near the end when there was little left to give; but I gave in willingly, hoping
in part because of vanity: one last symphony still unplayed, that tone poem of fear and doubt owing away beneath me,
not embarrassed, not frightened ... it was like an act of forgiveness that revenged itself on me and decides to let me be.
Object Reasoning
Don't object, seek fulfillment. And if you can't be with the one you love, Love the one you're with. So goes the song. You could turn back. But it's not the end of the road, it's the beginning, So turn here. You've come this far, just like me, looking for the same thing, Nothing ever comes of stopping at the borderline of flesh and dream. What we are looking for is not lust-driven, But something else.
Taking that first step is always the hardest. Raise your hands and lock your fingers with mine; The rest will come naturally.
Weathering the Stones after Chang Yang-Hao
As if gathered together, layered one upon the other. A mountain stream, on the borderline of spring. The river stones sing revenges of love and neglect, then repeat again in endless solitude. I turn away and pause to lament here where our dreams once owed. Change, freshened by downpour played by shadows. The spring rain: glistening once again. The spring wind: whispering once again.
inbetween
It's like trying to learn a new language, reading between the lines of what you say and what you don't.
Are you being cautious or just aloof?
Looking at the puzzle pieces and studying the shapes, the male part joining the female part should be a proper t with no unnecessary force.
But I am confused by the landscape and the time difference and the sound of rain that drips from roof tile to roof tile ...
with regular uncertainty.
You reenter the conversation somewhere in the middle and I stumble around trying to catch up. What was it you said about being stuck - inbetween?
It's a predictable delay, an everyday disconnect that has me questioning the purposefulness of this journey into uncharted hemispheres.
Could it be that my being marooned on this vast heap of emotion for so long has le me completely unprepared and ill equipped to reassemble meanings?
I row out to the center of the lake and watch the rippling of the moon, a blue-white iridescent haze resembling an out-of-focus discourse of inconsistency ...
and all I can do is just breathe.
Birds Then Silence after Li Bai
Finishing my wine, I welcome dusk, fading sunlight fills the folds of my dreams. I rise and watch the moon reflected in the stream, Birds are silent, so is my heart.
Man on Fire
Let's suppose for a moment
forgiveness is not a constant.
In theory self defense ends in self infliction
carried beyond the limits of sacrifice,
a surviving re until your last day on earth.
Passive Resistance
All things are possible -
something else takes hold
moving us beyond guilt
down sinuous roads, black
and shimmering like molten
asphalt floating effortlessly above
distant oceans never reached.
There is no comfort
in the world, and
only fools expect it.
Oblige yourself not to
learn everything, or else
you will learn nothing. The trunk is bound
and put in storage
least we deceive ourselves
once again, the breath
of it's breath that
leaves behind erratic conclusions;
Knowing how the story
ends changes the story.
Talkback
It's over and done but to what end? no more emotional bloodletting I thought you would do the right thing,
a recognizable need nothing earned or borrowed but you're not buying it what's already been said in chronological order
when the body meets with memory (kneedeep) in bone running into walls it comes to this a dramatic last breath
gasping for understanding as if things become clearer (revelation) according to your values and the value you place on them
a debt to be paid tit for tat give one, take one without trial and sentence in the name of bliss
assuming nothing, starting at the beginning it's over and done I thought you would do the right thing (anyway)
Among The Beautiful Illusions
From every direction it was like walking in a hall of mirrors Suspended within a restorm You appeared, and all sense Of direction was lost You saw into the future Embracing its fls For what mattered more And never said a word.
another story
"Would you like to stay for dinner?" "Sure." "How do you feel about spending the night?" "You mean will I sleep with you." "Well?" "I'm not all that hungry...." "Neither am I."
* * *
She lived for a time in China but did not offer the circumstances that brought her there, or why she le . Her only possessions; a small book of poetry and a silk robe that smelled of rose petals and rain water.
"It's completely sheer with delicate hand embroidered vines and iridescent winged insects, it's a little disconcerting at first, but when I lay on the sofa in the moonlight their wings seem to flutter whenever I move."
* * *
The moon shimmers in green water. White herons y through the moonlight.
The young man hears a girl gathering water- chestnuts: into the night, singing, they paddle home together. - Li Po
Chapter Two
Kimono after Michael OndaatjeHe brought with him his espresso pot to the former painter's studio he rented he could be satisfied with this. A large room with sleeping alcove, the morning light, wood floors, he could be.
A dog is barking in a field.
He loves the view of the mountains to the east the starkness of the interior - the oriental carpet he lugged cross country
Anticipation.
In an antique shop he admires a kimono - midnight blue, vines and dragonflies. Would she loan it out?
He explains, she returns a knowing smile, Foster's old studio, the morning light, it is lovely this time of year ...
She brings the robe and undresses in the alcove
The sun breaks the mountains
Bumpless Route
There is no bumpless route, no easy path to follow. I'm not ashamed to say that I have lost my way on more than one occasion, in my virtual game of pinball against the linear lifelines I refused to pursue. So here I am stuck in a traffic jam of my own making, frozen in the present and waiting for the light to change.
The Hesitant Hour
Less a measure of time than a response,
weightless, in its unanswerable quest,
the indiscriminate order of light
falling through ice burdened pines,
while my burning lips and fingers,
tremble and fumble up the staircase,
silently, invisibly, to tug and unclasp
your skirt, your halter,
moistened with luminous indecision,
seeking gentle embrace
neither here nor there.
The Final Say
- I like solitude, even when I am alone.
Into my mind the tremulous cadence slows, allowing an unending note of sadness in.
As if the ocean could unravel my desire.
Inside us there are secrets still lamenting our sins.
This destination narrows, over the path of least resistance.
Your gentle wings wrap me in pure deep sleep.
* * *
There is no reason to begin again where we left off. Is there?
Letting out the anguish of forgiveness a while longer, just short of forgetting the weight of your beauty.
I was wrong about many things, I was wrong about that.
Our bodies came together with an exactness I could not have expected.
But even my most carefully constructed dreams have a tendency to unravel.
* * *
Knowledge nourished by age is an instrument of prayer.
Memories arc their way like the moon over a dark lake.
Yet so many songs could only be heard as one.
It is mainly from memory that I take notes. But I forget so much.
And all the rest is just smoke.
* * *
In a way, I always knew, the small feathers lingering after you left.
The crust of the world is still cooling while the air is warming, and the moons orbit is expanding at 2.6 centimeters a year. You do the math.
A spice haired girl with the white T-shirt and nipple rings hides her smile behind her Starbuck's coffee because she knows I can't keep from staring.
Apart from all the sensual digression in my life, there are still moments of great discovery.
But why must I act out my problems with words?
* * *
Anyone who tries self-annihilation will be disappointed not relieved.
I am not looking for the last laugh, only the final say.
Like a Bosch painting, the more I see the less I understand about untethered lust.
But the worst of forgetfulness is the clouding of the soul, the lost wonder.
Back there there was a need to see the evidence of having been, the drifting in-and-out of the illusory concepts of life.
* * *
1. All claims of repetition shall be so noted and most certainly repeated.
2. Resemblances all look the same to me.
3. Foreseeing the urge raises no new options, only the old ones.
4. Misery loves calamity, cost is not the objective.
5. It's not that I have been unfaithful; I'm just looking for a little change of luck.
Garden Party
He could tell by the way the light fell across the bed that art required more intelligence then his lanky fingers could reconstruct.
She gave only the barest suggestion - pressing against his arm on the patio - like the last few pieces of a puzzle falling together.
"You know I work at the book store now," she said as she buttoned her blouse.
"So I hear."
CHANEL No 5
Here is the wingless fluttering of secret desire, the artful music of whispers looking down over her shoulder into the void of spiritual impossibility, where the curve of her breast scents the air.
Speechlessness
"What if these were his last words? What if these sentences should be the vision at the end of a lifetime he could never alter?" - Hayden Carruth
In this final translation, punctuated by absence - geologic rifts - words take on an aesthetic life of their own; in absolute silence, crosscurrents of solitude, clashing chords of invisibleness combine in the steady thrum of mystery.
How can you amend ordinary perceptions if everyone interprets things the same way? Will they be taken as my lasts words; the drying-up of the wellspring, an incomplete vision at the end of a lifetime?
* * *
As far as I can tell nothing is just nothing.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

Standard Business Terms and customer information / data protection declaration
I. Standard business terms
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions of business apply for all contracts concluded with us as the supplier (Moluna GmbH) via the websites AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of your own terms and conditions is explicitly rejected.
(2) A ‘consumer’ in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman’ refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
(2) If an article is placed by us with AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the page on AbeBooks or ZVAB shall involve the binding offer to conclude a contract under the terms and conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the “Checkout” page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the “Buy now” button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
(3) If you are a businessman, the following conditions also apply:
a) We retain ownership of the goods until all the claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. The goods subject to retention of title may not be pledged or transferred by way of security before ownership of the said goods changes hands.
b) You can re-sell the goods within the framework of an orderly transaction. In this regard, you hereby cede all the claims amounting to the magnitude of the billing amount that accrue to you as a result of the re-selling operation to us, and we accept the cession. Furthermore, you are authorised to collect the claim in question. However, insofar as you do not discharge your payment obligations in an orderly fashion, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
c) In a situation involving the combination and amalgamation of the goods subject to retention of title, we acquire co-ownership of the newly-formed item. This co-ownership corresponds to the ratio that exists between the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title and the other processed items at the time of processing.
d) If you make a request of this nature, we shall be obligated to release the securities that are due to us, to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
(4)
Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in deviation from the above warranty provisions:
a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.
b) In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide warranty by rectification of the defect or subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your option, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the goods or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be obliged to bear the increased costs arising from the transport of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, unless such transport is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.
c) The warranty period shall be one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period shall not apply
- for culpable damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- in the case of items which have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory rights of recourse that you may assert against us in connection with rights arising from defects.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly inapplicable.
