YHVH : Poetry Expressing That Which Is

Jack Lhasa — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:31:25 +0000

The Tetragrammaton is irreversible.
I cannot see the light.

To force the Holy into action.
To bring His presence
back into Creation.

I know your name.
But you are not your
brothers’ keeper.

Consecration
spreads it’s wings.

It is the force that
turns the world.
It is the change
that time cannot deny.
It is the dream
that you never forget.
It is the Shaman
with no regrets.

Jack Waxes Melancholic – Fragment 7

Jack Lhasa — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:39:09 +0000

This was originally published at The Entropy Report, back in May of 2008. I bring it to the forefront with great pleasure. If you’d like to see the original, click here.

————-

The Fear permeates the city with a dense fog in the mornings. As the day lingers, the fog dissipates, but the Fear just stretches out over the people, engulfing us all in it’s decadence.

We stroll the streets, looking for some kind of trouble to get into. But nothing comes. Sometimes it’s like that. No matter what you do, or where you are, you can’t get anything done. Creativity fades and seeps through the cracks in the sidewalk and you are left with nothing but some sunburn.

Courting the muse is a long forgotten path. These days people don’t wait for inspiration, or even try to draw in inspiration. They just do. And so we end up with a bunch of crap that is passed for “art” or “poetry” or “fiction” or any number of other things. But when you see it, it just fucking bores you to tears.

Court your muse. Find your inspiration. Then bang out that piece of crap you’ll never be proud of. Life keeps on moving down the line. The train will not remember you, and it does not forgive. Walk out on the tracks and stare at the ground. See those are steel rails? Is this what we’ve become?

And so here I am, waxing melancholic, for no reason other than I know not what to write.

Update

As Summer draws to a close, many things are changing here at Loki Listens. I’ve decided not to post The Cost of Magic in segments, as I have been. Instead, you’ll only see the occasional snippet of story here and there. Basic Ideology 101 will still be a staple of this blog, but it is slowly evolving into something new and different, and (hopefully) better.

This cuts my content back quite a bit, so look for new types of articles to be surfacing. Perhaps more poetry or short fiction. maybe some other non-fiction subjects. We’ll see.. I’m not really sure yet, but I feel like there is a void here that needs to be filled.

Basic Ideology 101 – #19

Two cups sit.
Neither are empty,
yet neither are full.
Can we not pour
one into the other?

Poetry is Divine Force.

It smacks you on the back of the head until you listen.
