Dresses: The Funeral Dress.

I am going down. and in..,
A crack in the ceiling above our bed provides the egress.
I must retrieve my shield.

The goddess is an anchoress.
Her sisters, her sisters are furies.

One and two, there are three
They have white hands,

That are unused.
Blind eyes.
They unpick the stitches.
Loose the threads.

The dress has sweetened in the four winds,
Nethertheless it carries a [...]

Blue Moon.

Blue Moon
The blue moon, the blue moon
low strung and the late roses.
It was either Marc Chagall or Harry Clarke for the heartbreaking blues,
thus Clarke :
The Pics on this new Clarke site are indicative of his Blues

La Personne et Le Sacre: Simone Weil.

" Beauty is the supreme mystery in this world. It is a brilliance that attracts attention but gives it no motive to stay. Beauty is always promising and never gives anything; it creates a hunger but has in it no food for the part of the soul that tries here below to be satisfied; it has food only for the part of the soul that contemplates. It creates desire, and it makes it clearly felt that there is nothing in it to be desired, because one insists above all that nothing about it change. If one does not seek measures by which to escape from the delicious torment inflicted by it, desire is little by little transformed into love, and a seed of the faculty of disinterested and pure attention is created". From Simone Weil : 'Thinking Poetically'. Joan dargan. 1999. State University of New York Press.

Cut and Paste From IWMF Re : Jestina Mukoko’s Arrest

Zimbabwe Journalist, Activist Held in "Stench" iwmf JANUARY 8, 2009 Zimbabwe Journalist, Activist Held in “Stench” Zimbabwean authorities have accused former journalist Jestina Mukoko of a terrorist plot to overthrow President Robert Mugabe. She is now being held in a high-security prison and faces a possible death sentence. According to Reporters Without Borders, the Zimbabwean police brought Mukoko and nine other human rights activists before a court on Dec. 24 on charges of organizing a Zimbabwean police officer’s trip to Botswana to receive military training as part of a plan to overthrow Mugabe. Mukoko went to court Jan. 5, but the hearing was postponed, said Peta Thornycroft, an independent journalist in Zimbabwe who is the recipient of the IWMF’s 2007 Lifetime Achievement Award. A court order, which was defied by police, mandated that Mukoko and the other activists be evaluated at a hospital. “Chikurubi, the prison she is in, has the most appalling blocked sewage system of septic tanks, which haven't been cleaned for years and one can smell them from miles away, literally,” said Thornycroft. “I cannot imagine the stench inside the prison. She is in the women's prison, which is obviously better than the men's section." The IWMF sent a petition to Mugabe concerning Mukoko’s Dec. 3 abduction. The former broadcaster at the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation who now heads the Zimbabwe Peace Project was taken from her home by a group of men, some of whom were armed. The IWMF advocates for a free press and calls for Mukoko's release. * Add your signature to our petition for Mukoko's release. *Note: Your name and e-mail address will be collected by the IWMF when you fill out the form but will not be published on our Web site. * Donate now – Help us support women reporters who risk everything to tell the most difficult stories and to bring us the truth through their reporting. --------- Forward

Trying to Talk With a Man. (Adrienne Cecile Rich)

"Out in this desert we are testing bombs, Thats why we came here. Sometimes I feel an underground river forcing its way between deformed cliffs an acute angle of understanding moving itself like a locus of the sun into this condemned scenery. "
