Cesar Wolf’s throwing a party for the soldiers in his house. To fend off fines, he throws a party much to the mercenaries’ delight. That’s when – like Lucifer came falling from his throne – he comes wobbling down the stairs. One man – mercy taken from his hands – drags him deeper in debt. In fact, it’s Cesar Wolf who’s told me, falling back on wilful songs, it doesn’t help – that’s what he told me: most wilful songs still get it wrong. Remember – privileged though, Orpheus walked the road – how Orpheus drifted on. How in an orgy – raging women, sticks and stones – he was ripped to shreds at dawn. No, I won’t put up the good fight with a soldier or his faith. We’re all poets and told to be quiet if we’re not to rue the day.

The apparatus of joy

The apparatus of joy. They sent out reference books and caretakers and escorts. And at the gate endlessly a raving poet garbles travelogs. One guard to the entrance stands tall, at the gate before the law where the raving poet spends it all. ‘Don’t think you’ve failed. Left things undone, you desperate rhymer, I’m glad to take it all’. The apparatus of joy. Make way into a place with caretakers and escorts.

Four dromedaries killed
01:52

At first, we are a puzzle to one another. But then again, one truly never knows. The farthest place is right down the hallway. That’s why we don’t meet outside my door. Nothing’s easy, you get bored on the nighttrain. And for that money, a split second in distress. When you write about the war - four dromedaries killed - you always ask 'Is home really where you want to be?'

Lot's wife
02:42

Waking. Does she know that voice? Knows his face? If she falls behind, does a river or will time break down? Asking about the scraps she holds, she is told, half of her is here while the other half is in the past. She knows. No memory without a flaw. Down in limbo. Wide awake.
