Question no 2
Anna ~ when did you write the first poem or ode ! as you so charmingly called them once ~
C.Duffy ~ hmm let's see when I was four?
that'd make a good getogether metaphor wouldn' it .. I heard about Joyce , no, I mean
Rabelais when I was nine, I think, I saw the fat, character Pantagruel! in a book!
the kid giant!
and all the Big Zany AtmoSpheric words about food and galleons of wine
and Massive Cuts of Meat and so on
Anna: You mean Gargantua not Pantagruel
C. Duffy:___________Yep! that's no maybe not, I mean I was a kid it could have been either... right, you dig?
----------------------- Anna : he was a doctor too you know, a scholar .... he hummed with knowledge.
C.Duffy _ A lot of writers then were Masters and Doctors....

that idea
.
or and of there and now and
standing between the virtual/the printed/the written and spoken/that's the life of a poet these day/s
____________________________________________________________________________
over the Atlantic again
interviewed with a a friend
Tell us about that idea for a groupblog notion? did it work previously?
O yes! it did ... that was ages back! hey do you see that formation of clouds yonder.. it's the edge of easternwest of Greenland! which means in another what is it? 2 hours we'll be over Ireland.. my heart skips a beat when I see that and my soul drowns in moon gusts and leaps for hope when once we're on the ground walking that place... what virtual space of containment compares to that?
You mean Iceland over there? yr blind! duffy! take the patch off
Poets you see or would be artists and poet types are quite lazy and if you give them something,
too easy they hold it in contempt!
secretly!
(on the way we'll sail )
(the unbright blue C)
(the unbright blue C)
they want to be rejected and submitted!
hahah I ran a mag for a time, secretly under an other name, or really two and then were dozens of submissions from the known, unknown and the re-known again!
people like to be recognized nothing less will do......
However, when I think of the countryside and water around this part of the globe, I mean, it's not country at all, its water,
Water country cold as ice and worse
what matter all this nonsense of publish/not publish
the artists have to realize they are best to become their very own producers.. conducers and extravagant
c r e a t o r s!
lets go swimming when we get to Shannon!

Miss
and Mr Jocasta were having problems with the tracery, a stone, the
rock, a bare tarnished bush, the black box glowing and as with any blind
thing, for instance, the notion of faith, they'd been accustomed to
the problem and the secret salve hidden from onlookers. I don't mean
will-power, because that's just voluntarism disguised, or pretence built
up as rock defiance.There are no such illusions at this juncture. It
was a sea wave trying to fly in from the spreadeagled sound of air, the
pier whence we sauntered. The end of a wharf .Withal it was tender. She
was hip swathing close. It was near to midnight. Blue dark night, the
kind that always comes once or twice at this time of the season. A hard
night reckoning and a bold bowl of soup, and rice, and cabbage. Ah,
there's no love like the lost one. Or would that be the last one? And
shouted shells from hackneyed calves. The word escaped me, not escapade.
A farandola of pretence to the recent vocable stew, a squall of gulfs,
parade. It's hot cold hot cold cold hot cold hot hot cold. Cold. Like a
snow beating against the receptacle. A precept for any encouraging
lace-on. Is that a period. Take the sap, take the cap, the space between
two margins, left right. Left right. Right left, cadets march, left
right left right left right. You there, Lance Corporal Duffy (you think
this is the French Foreign Legion?), right left right left right left
(epaulettes and shoulder braids) left right (taps and warnings) left
left now you got that toe working even though they busted your ass. Not
Jocasta and her eyes. Nor your mother's . Nor your I. Sometimes an
artist just has to bust through. Kick the ass out of the machine, kick
ass bad ass honey. Yes, it's not dancing, it's called adapting that
machinething the way you want it to. A word is wanton at the grave of a
funeral . Parlor. A lover is a dog. Nor a bog plated to come tune.
Explain this; well it's , okay, here it's , okay, well with love of that intensity it's as if my body parts
and hers, were stuck inside each other ,
permanently , when I died, and came back to find she'd gone,
I had to search , and thus it's been searching searching baby
flashlight searching
Okay shellfish. I was telling the story of Jason and the one eyed gue. That's from Book 1 of the Illiad. And
Awesome Oedipus and Jocasta (don't you cast the first stone) and her other Eye.
They were torn out , with those things, like jackknifes but worse. Rammed straight through her eye sockets. Or balls. Hanging threads. Closed closets where they had fornicated or fucked or copulated Mother Son.
And Jason tore one eye (his left) out after reading the Bibble. The Bible you mean. Michael asked, are you? I said, yeah , I was serious. He shouts to me Jason tore his eye out!
Fuck man, are you serious? Yes. He did, he was crazy, went nuts, reading that passage if your right eye offend you pluck it out. Jesus Christ, the dead god told him that ? I don't think so. But Jocasta had to bury her son. I mean Mary had to . Bury him after he was anointed for , and having done the ablutions so to speak, they put his body away.
You know Jason was the kind of guy he'd look at you, real intense. You'd have to turn away.
And Jocasta's son Oedipus ran off away. To the desert.
Someone knocked at the door. The type-font trembled hearing things at the portcullis. You mean the type-face right? Right I mean the right side of her face was blood. Mashed gruel.

'A million
A million words and more but who gives a damn except you and a shuffle of a handful
You are desperate to love| life but they won't let her she's a hurtled a
Theres's my poem of the day.
Print it it might make a fortune for libraries one day!

A blessed thing stuck between her ears, and wired

'this note
.
i live in a store called poetry
you might accidently write it's a strong house
that i live in a strongbox
called poetry
it's very expensive/ the price to get in there is high
extremely so/ more than you can picture
or possibly imagine in your freshest 'wild' dream that's a consumer product of giving a little in the recorded consumption of your death
one mustn't be afraid of imaginary books or of living in the present
if she's married walk to the door take her voice out with you
leaving the present of her breath aside
as a cape that's been twisted by a p-icador twirling an shantying away from the redscarved bull
charging at the slightest delay
like an orange heat
not a placid leak or Joanne G's
remaining away
the married one and her nasally voice gets out of her present presenting the gold of her tights and her thighs wearied and weighed from three kids mostly adult now, she's been a married woman for more than a week
s he leaves the husband clinging to you, to m e , as to a fortune
cleaving to her lover

the breath of a poem is the breath of the spirit
____________________
and was that a night? kept the cold key on ~ the blue of devasation / and the cold/ the permanent frame of death
a rush of wind
down the longing lane
your aBverbs
and nighttime fish
only the eyes ear
the ear sees
a long penetrating glance the sullen thief of (the) night who was riding his clompy boots
___________
So this, and other matters have been how I have been. A poet does
not live by commas and grammatical overtures but by the breath of a
word keeps giving. Breaking continually of the last practice; a
permanent spark of change and movement.
______ cherished beside each Hi
