Abel's Confessions
A
selection of thoughts, ramblings and appeals, some new, some old, some
comprehensible, some not. But, perhaps all are necessary, for me at least.
Previous:
May 2004.
Brother,
I
am but the Son of the Dying God
crying
in the City, will you not
listen?
June 2004.
Blaspheme
along with me,
Brother. A city so tranquilized by
Orthodoxy can only be revived
through blasphemy.
July 2004.
I don't want a Sun in my sky
Brother.
I have no need for a Moon. A star
or two will suffice for me in my all but
too shy existence on the
cold margins of things. Speak
of mediocrity, Brother, I am
mediocrity incarnate.
August 2004. While
you make history
Brother,
I make love. While you seek
fame,
I seek fulfillment.
September 2004. My
bearing is the bearing of frogs,
Brother.
My pride is the pride of lizards.
My shame is the shame of a lamb about to be slaughtered.
July 2005. The taste
of my liver in my own mouth,
Brother,
offends and sickens me. But I have to feed
upon myself to survive – I am my only source of sustenance these days, and
my only source of hope.
December 2005. I lust
for salvation, Brother,
as though it were a woman, and I - a
man.
