A Brisling (King Oscar sardines)
I opened a tin of sardines in olive oil for supper
Headless and nicely packed, except for one
that had a head and was alive.
I put the live one in a glass jar; the others looked
so dead I could not eat them, put the tin back
into the fridge
My little King Oscar sardine grew and was too
big for a jar, I had fed it bread crumbs,
real home
baked with butter.
Suddenly, there were many cats in the yard the adventurous cats tried to find an open window
I took my sardine to an empty lake.
the lake had once been full of bluegill, but overfished
to extinction, I sat my sardine free to feed on rotten
vegetations
I don't know how fish procreate, but soon there were
too many of them, a school of silvery beings
swimming around except for one going the opposite way
Bonanza!
Grilled sardines and red wine, people rejoiced, thought
this was going to last forever until there were non
except for my sardine, now so big it scared cats
when it saw me, it was so happy, jumped out of the water
caught by a passing eagle
Empty lake, a dead eye in the wilderness, tells no story

Oh my...Oskar Kokoschka
why did you so love Mahler's Alma
All can see your infatuation with her charms
in this portrait lying in her arms*

Oscar Time
I have been watching Fox news channel which is entertainment
more than news with long legged girls arguing and trying to make
Trump into an intellectual giant. The legs apart, I sometimes agree
the neo-liberal hatred in America is frightening, this fury by
the democrats who feel cheated are palpable.
This aside the great Oscar time is here, the magnificent plastic people in
a room of nervous tension, perfumed sweat and gulped whisky in
the locker room. La La Land won a sweet film- no doubt that- will make
us forget hunger in Africa, bloody wars and the Palestinian catastrophe
I think the power to want it this way to infantilize us encourage
the gossip about the film stars, who slowly seem to learn to live with
Donald Trump, they know who is running the industry and it is not
the beautiful people Hollywood Land

eli & oskar
fullända ett band mellan två individer
de går ut i natten
de har varandras sällskap skull och
kön, som belastning som kan förstöra så många
helt enkelt inte in i denna ekvation ---
hon ger honom med sin egen vaksamhet
korten har delats ut för sina egna århundraden av
ångest, men hennes visdom är stor och
hon vet att minst nu,
hon har en vän, hon i själva verket har så mycket mer,
hon har en följeslagare som förstår henne tillräckligt att veta
han kommer aldrig riktigt förstå henne &
så acceptera detta faktum, känner oskar på samma sätt,
att ingen annan än eli skulle ta sig tid att ens försöka
att förstå honom.
de trotsar den logiska död relationer, dessa två,
de trotsar samhället som vill dem att konvertera, så snabbt att
pessimism,
eftersom det stryper alla unga så väl ---
de trotsar alla "gud" som tydligt anses dem båda
"fördömda" från början &
ännu,
de är tillsammans &
det är vettigt.

The
only
child they had-
was their game of
love
See the painting' The Tempest' which
encapsulates Oskar's love for Alma
