Sarah: The Delphi Oracle

How do i reach out...

How do i mourn this loss...
How do we approach the grave...
When do we walk with the Black Hearse

Where is the window that will let me in...
How do i get there from here...

I will never here the words ever again:

i love you...

I remember the driving lessons... the Tea Cup Leaves reading ceremony:
love, death, loss;
I remember you reading the Ouija Board and providing the responses to my future.
I would always disagree... dismissing the oracle form Delphi!

~ I wish i had a Ouija Board today... so i could tell you that i have love you as well
~ I never returned that telephone call... i wish i did...
I did not visit you in so many years... i do not know why??? The regrets will remain ...
Regrets... regrets...

How do I mourn your loss...
How do i clutch death...?
When will the grave envelop me?
When will the White Horseman stop running...
And
stop pillaging

I would love to intercept the Black pall


Instead we continue to immerse ourselves in the habit of dying
Rather than in the act of thinking...

I wish i could intercept the Black Chariot...
How was i immersed?
April 1965
April 2009

When i speak to the Delphi Oracle again...?

How do i reach out...?
How do i mourn the loss...
How do i reach the tomb...?
How do i walk with the Three Horsemen?

Where is the door that will let me in?
How will i be able to traverse this new threshold... will i be able to absorb the Black Thorns
How do i eradicate these

The Gladstone Hotel

Truth has many different voices...

Why are we in Afghanistan...?
Do we, as Canadians, proffer a disservice... a disloyalty...
to
the Canadian Troops...
If we do not support them unconditionally???
Are they cognizantof their mission? is there a clear objective:

Reconstruction? infrastructure?
Construction of elementary schools?
Peace-building?

Are they protecting...
maintaining the principles of democracy
of justice...
of Freedom...
~~~~~~~
Truth has many grains ...

Mr Margolis sings that he does not use the nomenclature War on Terror

and he should not!!!

he alludes to the forces battling the Coalition forces as RESISTANCE forces NOT
Insurgents...
~~~~~~~~~~
She waltzes by... her hazel eyes, her light tanned skin... her graceful words...
her graceful waltz...

Truth has many scents...

~~~~~~~~~~~
I cannot remove myself from thinking about her... she is in the room...
She is in the ROOM....
All i can think about is searching for a way to be in her space...
Is she a volunteer?
Here
and
there
~~~~~~~~~~
Truth has many forms...

Mr Jay asserts that the Afghani people wholly reject the Taliban!!
Another voice alludes to the Tea Cup
Mr Margolis asserts that one cannot demonize the Taliban

Truth has many melodies...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are 130,000 mercernaries in iraq... yes... still...
Obama yawps his melody: Change! Yes we can!
Blackwater... Yes we can!

NOW Xe~ Yes we can!
CACI
Dynacorp
Titan

Truth has many triggers...

Yes, we can! Change!
~~~~~~~~~~~
A scent lingers in the room...
Venus has returned...
A blue scent lingers on...
A beige light was germinating at my feet...
And

Truth has many colours
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eyes have pierced this continent... how many oceans must their tears fill
before we realise that blood... the blood is the same colour:
Iraqui, Afghani, Pakistani , Somali, Palestinian...

Eyes have penetrated this mountain... how many glaciers must recede before
we realise that MNCs are not our Saviour... how many children must drown
in columite, tantalite~ coltan~ before we surrender our soul to Dionysus...?

Truth has many hungry souls...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Her eyes have engaged the devil... the devil must jig... jig... to the Gaian tune... jig... baby... jig
to the merkin ball... let me grasp the fragments that remain... jig... baby.. jig... because there will be
there will be
NO
No... On
no... ON
On... NO
ON... no
there will be no tomorrow... CAT will prevail... here and there... everywhere... you must jig... jig...
Before
CAT
derails
YOU, Jayounis, Qabaliya
CAT has many arms... extremities it has severed...
Rachel Corrie is one of their victims...
CAT must be proud... they are engaged with Bush's campaign "War on Terror"
A terror that must be stopped first within the American psyche...
Yes, it is a beautiful world!! it is a wonderful world!!
Please, escort me to MOMA, AGO et al
and i will paint the next Mona Lisa, but it will not have a smile ; it will have an AK-47
and i will paint the next My Bridge, but it will not have a landscape; it will rubble and uprooted olive trees
Truth has many cadavers to exhume...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CAT has pierced my soul...
My blood ... my song... my poem are all useless...
And i hear the ridiculous refrain:
Oh, what a beautiful world!!
But

Truth has many shadows... shadows that hide...
