ASH

ATALANTE – TICKETS HERE
shared evening with Lars Henning's
"I Do Remember Nothing"

ASH is a meditation upon the intimate struggles of mankind to prove itself worthy of recognition by either gods, spirits, or other human beings.

The substance that stirs in my palm  

could well be a dead man; no need  

to show surprise at the dizzy acts of wind.  My old father sitting uncertainly three feet away  

 

is the slow cloud against the sky:  

so my heart's beating makes of me a survivor  over here where the sun quietly sets. The ways of freeing myself:  

 

something makes me keep close to the walls 

as though I was afraid of that justice in the shadows.  

 

Now the world passes into my eye:  

the birds flutter toward rest around the tree,  the clock jerks each memory towards the present to become a past, floating away  like ash, over the bank.  

 

My own stirrings like the wind's  

keep hoping for the solace that would be me  in my father's eyes  

to pour the good years back on my;  

 

the dead man who licks my palms  

is more likely to encourage my dark intolerance  rather than turn me  

toward some strangely solemn charade:  

 

the dumb order of the myth  

lined up in the life-field,  

the unconcerned wind perhaps truer than the rest,  rustling the empty, bodiless grains.
