Trash


“Trash” 

they were like
a car crash on Mars
without thermal blankets

to make a
warm space
anywhere, haven

poetically 
landing 
unannounced,  

somewhere else

where trash
became 
treasure

(Ladylabyrinth / 2022)







perseverance.
"persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success"

"I need you to know that you are the product of what is both hopeful and haunted within you, and it is okay to exist in this world, as someone who is simply figuring out how to balance that."

"Get scared. It will do you good. Smoke a bit, stare blankly at some ceilings, beat your head against some walls, refuse to see some people, paint and write. Get scared some more. Allow your little mind to do nothing but function. Stay inside, go out - I don't care what you'll do; but stay scared as hell. You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself." Albert Camus

"The history of mankind is a romance, a mask, a tragedy, constructed upon the principles of poetical justice; it is a noble or royal hunt, in which what is sport to the few is death to the many, and in which the spectators halloo and encourage the strong to set upon the weak, and cry havoc in the chase, though they do not share in the spoil."

Poetic Justice! From trash to treasure. Some will have the opportunity to be one who is marching to Mars. Lovely Bowie, Buddhist, had his ashes spread over Bali.

Love all his work. His last album / videos before his death, quite profound. "Blackstar" full album.
