I dream of writing poetry
in the Twilight Language sāṃdhyābhāṣā,
a faraway land redolent of imageries and metaphors,
with immediacy irrecusably abstract yet perceptual;
indecipherable to others, and
perhaps even to myself,
for it will be, in the end,
unnecessary.
(... a "poetique-onirique" thought that just arrived ...)
Vanité, by Aelbert van der Schoor (*image via Luxe et Vanités ) |
"Sed fugit interea fugit irreparabile tempus, singula dum capti circumvectamur amore."
(But meanwhile it flees: time flees irretrievably, while we wander around, prisoners of our love of detail.)
--- Giorgics, by Virgil
*See also Vanitas and the notion of Memento Mori.

a language that is both
witness and painting
precise and shimmering
scalpel and flesh
in deep and out in thin air
a language
that
reunites eye and light.
Thank you... I love this. Your response in poetry is very much appreciated.
