mooning
I know.
I did not make an equinox page. Did you miss it?
Here we are again. Dark days. I mean nights. I mean LONG nights.
They are coming.
I’m depressed.
Maybe I should move closer to the equator so I don’t have to go through this every year. Otherwise, I’ll have to go back to being an unravished bride of happiness, i.e., art. Oh happy happy art! Music unheard is sweetest and in truth, beauty such as an odalisque’s may be eternally still, fading century-by-century to fall at last in entropic decay.
You may have noticed I don’t make so many scrapbook pages anymore. At first it was so exciting to be out and about in my own obelisk. But everything passes so fast. Like starlings sweeping the sky time is, a hypnotist, and I, Odalisque, am hypnotized, with a soft focus dream-floating in all the flux. Why stamp myself upon this flux of time? Why afix myself to the pseudo-permanent? Why art?
I miss crow. Parrot-that-is-crow doesn’t talk anymore, doesn’t ask me where I’m going. It’s obvious to all us birds that TIME is what’s going. It’s a sensation, round and round. Parrot is plucking her own feathers. Maybe beneath all that caricature will step my black crow.
Crow would know how to party in this mad, strung-out scene. We’re all exhausted and too paranoid to get out o <f/i>n time.
OWL HERE.
ODALISQUE IS STUPID.
YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE OR WHO TO BE
THERE IS A PLACE TO ARRIVE AT IT IS NOW TO BECOME
My face is like the moon /the night grows long /long reign of moon.
Don’t moon about. Wane. So you can see the stars.
Here we go again.
It never stops does it.
