#the world is ours but we walk in it noticed#bodies lie in the bright grass and some are murdered and some are picnicking#how can anyone hold a job these days if they aren't even raising the dead#it's a soft world full of murders#but the overall thrust is discourse with the dead and a remaking of the universe#free palestine#melbourne
Introduction by Emily Wilson | Homer | The Iliad
#all yr bodies alive and defunct#the worst party in the world#always touching moving dancing climbing or riding horses#feel my hand feel my you might as well say hand#it is the gelatin of your own eyeball#if someone calls you across a hundred ghostly bodies it is because you are ever detectable#the secrets of the heart are visible#ive got bloody hair so you can love me#bodies lie in the bright grass and some are murdered and some are picnicking#hippolytus bloodied the countryside#men who do not know how to throw their cloak over their shoulder nor how to put words together in proper harmony for praising gods#you're going to spend your life fighting your life#the mass carnage that finds its domestic epitome#human forms are puny#homer#emily wilson
Mrs Columbo | Word Games (1979)
#to be home in horror#to infuse with menace the lives women are supposed to want#this pathological building#standing in the laundry doorway replenishing the capacity to imagine a domestic glow#emily is in the parlour brushing the carpet#viciousness in the kitchen#the intimacy between things and human beings has created all sorts of symbolic disorders from the very beginning#women as the scapegoats of modernity#murderous part objects#you can include everything that's things#eros is a creature against whom no technology avails#it's a soft world full of murders#columbo

#freud#printed linens#men who do not know how to throw their cloak over their shoulder nor how to put words together in proper harmony for praising gods#the intimacy between things and human beings has created all sorts of symbolic disorders from the very beginning#you can include everything that's things#an undifferentiated vesicle of irritable matter#human fish swimming at the bottom of the ocean of atmosphere develop psychic injuries as they collide with one another#all procedures for being alive are haunts
