No One Understands The Pain

It appears no one understands
It looks like no one cares
For all around me is silent
Like death's foul grip on me

No one bothers to ask
Seems too busy to ask
Yet all around me is silent
And deep within me lies the pain

So intense so excruciating
Overwhelming still not departing
Like a scorpion's fatal sting
Like a snake's deadly venom

O pain, o pain forever to stay?
Let me know if you may
As a wound in my heart
As a knife through my back

No one seems to understand
No one seems to care
I can feel you right inside me
For deep within lies the pain

2011, Evelyn Pindura

On Burroughs' Work

The method must be purest meat
        and no symbolic dressing,
actual visions & actual prisons
        as seen then and now.

Prisons and visions presented
        with rare descriptions
corresponding exactly to those
        of Alcatraz and Rose.

A naked lunch is natural to us,
        we eat reality sandwiches.
But allegories are so much lettuce.
        Don't hide the madness.

San Jose, 1954, Allen Ginsberg

THE DISCIPLE

THE DISCIPLE

When Narcissus died the pool of his pleasure changed from a cup of
sweet waters into a cup of salt tears, and the Oreads came weeping
through the woodland that they might sing to the pool and give it
comfort.
And when they saw that the pool had changed from a cup of sweet
waters into a cup of salt tears, they loosened the green tresses of
their hair and cried to the pool and said, 'We do not wonder that
you should mourn in this manner for Narcissus, so beautiful was
he.'
'But was Narcissus beautiful?' said the pool.
'Who should know that better than you?' answered the Oreads. 'Us
did he ever pass by, but you he sought for, and would lie on your
banks and look down at you, and in the mirror of your waters he
would mirror his own beauty.'
And the pool answered, 'But I loved Narcissus because, as he lay on
my banks and looked down at me, in the mirror of his eyes I saw
ever my own beauty mirrored.'

(Oscar Wilde)

Ma petite ame
Elle est jolie
Ma petite ame
Elle a mal ici
T'y mets ton doigt
Pour sentir sa plaie
Il s'ensanglante
Et ca te plait
