This Mozart story I wrote.

Because I love this idea of Wagner (or X genius) born at the wrong time and having to write the music of his historical moment and unable to write what is inside him driving him mad because the foundations haven't been laid for him to build on.

heathcliff's hooker [9:51 PM]:

heathcliff's hooker [9:51 PM]:
the following written.. you like?

moth

lost lifelorn wall moth
at rest on the plaster, large, like a wallmounted
souvenir, or a badge of courage
dark, soft, a soft barnacle
of sleeping wings, laced with eyes
and lines like spires, a gothic filagree
and tiny threads like the dipped lashes
of a child's embarrassed eyes
your dulcet chocolate dusk brown
musk-silvered iridescence, there
on the tarnished plaster. the air hangs
with cooking smells, you, perhaps
sense differently to the human beings
that occupy the sofa with their saucers
and ignore you.

he moves through mothlight
mothdark eyes meet mine, aspiring
to alight upon my kiss. in this white bed
we keep no secrets, we spread limbs
like wings, and let the television
blur away our nerves and silence with its fizz
of static (bad reception) and its noise
of American voices, dialogue, snappy, idiot,
quick-and we're undressed
and I think this is how I like you best
and the woman in heels says
this could be the end of western democracy
and vanishes into an a
sleepyhead [9:51 PM]:
i read some novel by him about this really poverty-stricken guy, who i think has a harelip, who is like a raker of leaves in a park or something. then his mother is dying and he wheels his mother in a wheelbarrow to try to get to the place where she insists she might have been born but she dies on the way so he like tips her into a ditch or something. then he goes on a strange journey of desperation and meets many psychos or sociopaths or idiots or whatever, some of whom may have been hippies. i think he ends up at the beach with some freaky woman trying to fuck him or teasing him and he bursts out laughing or wets himself? cant remember. but the whole time he hans't really eaten and then he like, profoundly transcends some sort of physical limitations or achieves enlightenment through his mental illness. it was very deep and philosophical, that is all i can remember of it. i did not understand it at all, because i am either far too borderline gifted or simply lacking in education. but i think it was widely respected and won the booker prize?
heathcliff's hooker [9:51 PM]:
and vanishes into an ad break.

moths whirl up, drop, outside
when I'm cooling myself on the street in my bathrobe and
distantly, I hear the beat, beat, beat
of someone's subwoofer, belting out the bass loop
of a hoon's confusion, beautiful
to hear the gorgeous boredom of this sound
drown in the wide grey maze of soulless houses.
sometimes I wonder if the purpose of double glazing
is to keep the sounds out or to keep them in (for privacy). many things
are like that, double adapted.
like humans moths serve no purpose. they crowd
in a flutter of flat eyelets, blinking
on the window, bellies peering through
at the light inside. they shake and shiver on the glass, and,
within, perhaps you have recovered
from the shivering that shook you
when we kissed.

heathcliff's hooker [9:52 PM]:
LOL harelip poverty...
heathcliff's hooker [9:52 PM]:
he wins the booekr for everything
heathcliff's hooker [9:52 PM]:

sleepyhead [9:53 PM]:

sleepyhead [9:55 PM]:

sleepyhead [9:59 PM]:

heathcliff's hooker [10:00 PM]:
