Eloge de la Femme on Woman's Day


I love the very idea of Woman, that Fiction of an abstract and universal essence where Life, Beauty and Care have a unified human shape.

From the nudes of marble goddesses beyond my intelligence, to the abandoned, deformed, mutilated or battered old female bodies on the side-walks of this town, I recognize a unique mode of being body and ground and relation that awakens my subtlest selflessness, the selflessness intrinsic to the experience of being vis-'a-vis that reality, always still missing in myself, and necessary to approach and attain Fulfillment.

What's a woman? An invitation to improve and expand the reasons for living. A cry disclosing the sense of Dying-for-something!

Aiming at self-perfection is the dynamic answer of anyone confronted with a woman, be it the most abstract and unaccessible idea, as for cloistered men. Likewise, all crimes against humanity, that is, against other-centered self-actualization, are forms of sacrificing the possibility of meaning, our womanhood.

Simultaneously, I love the concreteness and singularity of every woman, and here no Idea is illuminating. Therefore, love unfolds surrounded by vast forests of silence. Only proper names and shared narratives can develop this uncertain endless understanding.

"La reconnaissance de la Femme m'implique dans le drame de l'admiration absolue."

Men are so ridiculous and vulnerable and fruitless whenever they do not recognize their female origins and live thereby in complete absurdity - total deprivation of. Thus, all misogyny entails self-hatred and suicidal tendencies.

"C'est toujours une femme qui m'apporte le salut au moment de la chute."

Think of a woman: gratitude and humility, apprenticeship.

La tension de l'attente


Nous nous attendons encore.
Notre rencontre diffère parce que l'on se complique pour mieux se comprendre.

Attendre au bord d'un lac ou d'un océan ou d'un abîme ou d'un feu, c'est le commencement. Et cela se renouvelle en permanence et en urgence. Plutôt le chaos (de T'attendre) que le néant (de ne rien attendre).
L'attente est dense comme la lumière que dégage un corps nu. Il faut fermer les yeux et ouvrir les mains pour toucher un autre langage au fondement des langues et des traductions. Il faut que les langues circulent et ne retournent jamais à leur repos.
A un certain moment l'attente se mue en espérance et en prière et en chant et en danse: O les voyelles de Ton Nom Absolu sous ma peau bouillonnante!

Love as Purpose


My sole purpose in Life is to kiss you everywhere and die mouth-to-mouth.
Kiss you everywhere or die trying (given your infinity I must die trying).

Love knows no conclusions, only introductions and developments.

Love is Jazz and naked dance. Besides this, nothing, nothing, nothing.

(When the body is not immersed in actual dance, is either "recovering" from it or ''preparing" for it. Besides this, 0,0,0.)

Looking for a Liberating Mantra


(I have been looking for a mantra that I could repeat seven times a day and find thereby the Certainty of Being. I need the Word that saves me from complete darkness. I think of the Name beyond all possible names as the Spring of myself, the unstable. But I cannot pronounce it without a body that comprehends mine.)

Love is Being. Non-love is not.
Love is With. Non-love is without.

Love is Where and When You are.
Non-love is Me in me.

Love is Beyond-Why.
Non-love is under-because.

You are my Truth.
I am the Abyss of absurdity and desire.
We are the Open Possibility.

"Amora" = Amor no Feminino

...ainda não é hora de compreender...
...necessidade de mais e maiores insónias...

L'Hirondelle de l'Amour



Le printemps nous apprendra à voler.
Je vois des ailes futures au centre de mon corps.
Elles m'emmèneront au-delà de toute extase imaginable.
Je T'y trouverai. Je sais que Tu m'y attends déjà.

Ton appel traverse chaque jour, chaque nuit,
pas à pas perçant mon labyrinthe, mon silence.

Merci d'Etre.

Love as Insomnia

Love cannot sleep.
