Tota pulcra es, amica mea


From the index of classical composers beginning with L


I see the name Johannes of Lymbergia,

Composer of music for gothic voices.


His piece, tota pulcra es, amica mea

I mistranslate as 'my girlfriend is all that'.


The ghosty voices of El Greco sadly monks

Haunt the shadow chapel-


No, music, no, the human song.

You, you are immaculately beautiful


...


From the footballing life of Ruud Gullit


How to watch football

in secret


from behind your bed,

while at a café in Montmartre, pretending

to be existential.

not at all.

while also playing tennis,

while counting the colours on a dragonfly,


Carefully


How to watch football

in public


in the street, not watching your step

while speaking to a crowd of your peers, shouting

politics is dead ,

to be a suit face.

while fighting in a wolf pack

while buying a new dress


Carelessly

I am happy quiet, like this, am happy stilled in the hanging air of endless afternoons, I dream in dust.   I find I do not care for the consolation of being right once, twice- the old bores’ answer. There’s no revelation; just a flag waved in the circumnavigation of nothing. And if you look at my face, morning or evening, I give nothing away.

Day 29

 The wrong order Or menu choices regretted It was grey meat mince wrapped in cabbage skin, jade green and uberboiled. It was like softpockets of organs stuffed back in the body ; there was a cream sauce peppergherkined strangely glow yellow grout white there was a bed of blood tomato jammy smeared There was a crown of bones with a little gristle blowtorched on which necessitated tilting the head owlike to bite into and one strip of tough flesh that needed the eater to rip hard with their canines and simultaneously rend in two with bare hands There was a shiny soup of shoe polish brown and in the ichor a white thing There was a pie as hot as mouthful of hell.  There was the dulleye and dark silver of the unknown two day fish Not at all the same, but as painful in the moment and the memory- I ordered grapefruit sorbet when I might have had a lovely mountain of profiteroles
