"Black Diamonds and the Benefits of Ylang Ylang"



The prescription
was to write

black diamonds
against the pale 
antidote

cutting glass
precisely, words
gargled slowly

she bled

diagnosis
Jung
and the benefits 

of Ylang Ylang

Feeling all the colours 
inside of 
Black

A body of work

Arms arrested 
legs spread 
against the white board

Byzantine Blue

(LadyLabyrinth/ 2020)

"In times like ours, where the growing complexity
of life leaves us barely the time to read the newspapers,
where the map of Europe has endured profound 
rearrangements and is perhaps on the brink 
of enduring yet others, where so many threatening 
and new problems appear everywhere, 
you will admit it may be demanded of a writer 
that he be more than a fine wit 
who makes us forget 
in idle and byzantine discussions
on the merits of pure form."
Marcel Proust



“I'll find you and go right through walls we made...”
