You have gone to sleep

The nerves tense and then:
You have gone to sleep.
Something not anchored in loves drifts out of reach.
You have gone sleep, or feign sleep,
It does not matter which.
Into the voice leaks bitterness.
The throat dries up, the tongue
Swells with complaints.
Once sleep was simply sleep.
The future stretched no further than
The pillow upon which your head was resting.
There were no awkward questions in the world,
No doubts caused love to fade
To a numbed kiss or howl,
Or caused trust to vanish.
You have gone to sleep.
A moment ago I found
Your mouth on mine was counterfeit.
Your sleep is full of exhaustions,
I cannot calm you,
There is no potion to wake you,.
Do what I will, say what I will,
It is a sleep from which I am exiled.
You have gone to sleep.
A planet drifts out of reach.
If I spoke all night it would be no use,
You would not wake,
And silence, like words, you would no doubt
Mistake for ignorance.

So sleep. Across our window's small patch of Heaven
The stars like sheep are herded,
And like a satellite objective time
Circles calendars and mocks
The wounds we think are huge.
Sleep. Don't be so tense.
There is a no longer a need of barriers,
No need of dumb defence.
You are understood.
This night is the last on which there will be
Any kind of pretence.
Tomorrow something else might wake
What's gone to sleep.

Brian PattenYou have gone to sleep

Talk to me how you want

Treat me how you want

I am imagined.

You are real.

Because I do not hope

Journal Entry: Thu Oct 8, 2009, 4:07 PM


Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn
Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope
I no longer strive to strive towards such things
(Why should the agèd eagle stretch its wings?)
Why should I mourn
The vanished power of the usual reign?

Because I do not hope to know
The infirm glory of the positive hour
Because I do not think
Because I know I shall not know
The one veritable transitory power
Because I cannot drink
There, where trees flower, and springs flow, for there is
nothing again

Because I know that time is always time
And place is always and only place
And what is actual is actual only for one time
And only for one place
I rejoice that things are as they are and
I renounce the blessèd face
And renounce the voice
Because I cannot hope to turn again
Consequently I rejoice, having to construct something
Upon which to rejoice

And pray to God to have mercy upon us
And pray that I may forget
These matters that with myself I too much discuss
Too much explain
Because I do not hope to turn again
Let these words answer
For what is done, not to be done again
May the judgement not be too heavy upon us

Because these wings are no longer wings to fly
But merely vans to beat the air
The air which is now thoroughly small and dry
Smaller and dryer than the will
Teach us to care and not to care Teach us to sit still.

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death
Pray for us now and at the hour of our death.

Butter or no butter?

And always there will be the dream of travelling,
of boarding the boats sailing from trivia,
And always there will be the regret,
the sense of carnivals finished.

The thing about cosplay is to be proudly saying : 'I made this costume.' But the best is : 'I don't look good in this costume, I make the costume look good on me.'
