quand je vais au jardin

pour regarder les roses
je tue en moyenne un escargot.
Est-ce que c'est ça la beauté?
Est-ce qu'elle écrase tout sur son passage?
Comme toi?
Mais je vais renaître
Il n'y aura plus de poésie alors.

dans la rue d'Odessa

dans la rue d'Odessa il y a
un internet café un ex-shop
deux cinémas, so far so bad, un hôtel,
dans la rue d'Odessa il y a
l'idée de toi so bad.

Tes trois voix et toi

Tes trois voix et toi
Vous sortez de temps en temps.
Il y a l'Anglaise,
Américaine presque avec un accent
un peu Chinois, c'est charmant.
Il y a la Française,
Hésitante et lente.
Il y a la rauque, la Russe.

promenade

dans la musique de mon amie Sharron Kraus. Listening to Gallows Song/Gallows Hill, the first song on the Songs of Love and Loss album, love the banjo. Now it's the second song, the frozen lake, ideal winter song, when all is frozen outside, around January. Listen to what you can listen to on http://www.myspace.com/sharronkraus
and you can purchase the CDs or you can see and hear on youtube with this traditional song with Barbara Allen or this early music song "Thrice Toss These Oaken Ashes" by Thomas Campion (definitely my favourite version of this song!)

c'est difficile d'expliquer ce qu'on aime, mais ce que j'aime chez Sharron, c'est qu'elle dit bien les choses, fermement, mais sans forcement faire trop de bruit. J'ai l'impresssion d'entendre une sonate pour piano de Mozart, toujours beaucoup de texte et de musique mais quelque chose de simple et direct, que l'on peut peut-être le mieux entendre dans l'album plus folklorique Right Wantonly A-Mumming (? je comprends rien de ce que ça veut dire, désolée), l'album Songs of Love and Loss ou bien le dernier album (que je n'arrive pas à retrouver en ce moment mais bon...j'ai écrit une critique en english pour le daily info, oxford)

Heybabe

Take a walk on the wilde side


le book de Chris

Des documents historiques impressionnants dans la malle dont un livret de famille de l'époque nazie, impressionnant chasse au juif au pédé pour une prétention de santé mentale. J'aime le travail de l'historien, devoir lire un document sans pleurer dessus ou avoir envie de le déchirer.
Penser que les premiers à partir furent les simples d'esprit... l'horreur de tout cela.

les Russes sont... (poème chabadabada шабадабада)

On dit que Pierre le Grand cassa quelques côtes
en embrassant quelque ambassadeur.
On dit que Stravinsky, en souliers vernis
marchait sur les pieds des dames, à Paris
lorsqu'il leur faisait le baise-main.
Sur toi on ne dit rien mais tu n'as qu'à me regarder
pour me marcher sur le coeur.

Article dans Le Monde

Fukushima, un accident de civilisation 2011/04/09 | 13:39:42 | LE MONDE Stéphane Foucart Malgré leur bon sens apparent, les tentatives d'objectiver la réelle portée de cette catastrophe sont hors de propos. Car ce qui se joue dans la centrale nippone n'est pas seulement un accident industriel de première grandeur. C'est, aussi, un accident de civilisation.

The future of the Inner Bookshop

"After 28 years, Ruth and Anthony are planning to retire later this year. We hope very much that some way can be found to keep the Inner Bookshop going in one form or another, either here or at another location. So we are looking for someone to buy the business and take it forward. In these days of intense internet competition, the bookshop no longer shpports the five of us currently running it, but would support two hard-working people. If you might be interested or know someone who might be, email anthony@innerbookshop.com and we will send you more details. Meanwhile if you would like to be kept informed of any developments, do give us your email address."
Leaflet given by the Inner Bookshop, a fantastic shop with all the books for religious journeys, yoga, psychologies etc... matters and some encense, and meditation CDs and spiritual music and and and!

Seeing the Invisible - Kai Mansberger

Seeing the Invisible is a collection of short-stories and poems from Kai Mansberger (1980-2004).

Kai was the son of one of my closest friends who has patiently recuperated the texts from three laptop computers. The poems and short-stories date from 2000 to 2004 before Kai was arrested and sent to hospital under the Mental Health Act, section 3. He was then drugged with more than 10 different types of mind-altering drugs (I would like to add here that I was once forced to take just one, and it took me a while to recover from this, probably more than from "my condition" of the time...), he was drugged yes, with 16 different types of mind-altering drugs. The Rape of Psyche relates to this episode of Kai's life.
