The soul of sweet delight, can never be defiled.-William Blake

NEPTUNE
Dalla Terra a Nettuno c’è un bel po’ di volo, come tempo compositivo poco più di due anni e soprattutto l’uso della lingua inglese che permette di nascondere eventuali imbarazzi, anche perché siamo in un’età di “mezzo” che avrebbe dovuto appianare teoricamente certe sfumature adolescenziali, allo scoccare dei diciotto anni, ma, almeno apparentemente, in questo caso non sembra accadere.

If Your Bible is Clean
If your Bible is clean,
What does it mean?
Your soul is lean;
A lot is yet to be seen.
Pick up God’s Word and read,
And allow the Spirit to lead.
Learn all that is said;
May it be your daily bread.
Study God’s Word day and night;
It will be your soul’s delight
To know of that great Light
That always gives spiritual sight.

Len Roberts, Debra Marquart, et al.: ‘Everyday Delights (However Tiny or Grand, Light or Dark, Shallow or Deep, and Plentiful or Rare)’
Everyday Delights (However Tiny or Grand, Light or Dark, Shallow or Deep, and Plentiful or Rare)
From whiskey river’s commonplace book:
The Moment
Walking the three tiers in first light, out
here so my two-year-old son won’t wake the house,
I watch him pull and strip ragweed, chicory, yarrow,
so many other weeds and wildflowers
I don’t know the names for, him saying Big, and Mine,
and Joshua—words, words, words. Then
it is the moment, that split-second
when he takes my hand, gives it a tug,
and I feel his entire body-weight, his whole
heart-weight, pulling me toward
the gleaming flowers and weeds he loves.
That moment which is eternal and is gone in a second,
when he yanks me out of myself like some sleeper
from his dead-dream sleep into the blues and whites
and yellows I must bend down to see clearly, into
the faultless flesh of his soft hands, his new brown eyes,
the miracle of him, and of the earth itself,
where he lives among the glitterings, and takes me.

Imagined For a Moment
The man I’ve been flirting with over the phone, his humor such a delight in my daily exchanges at work, was in my workspace today. We stood too close, and I delighted in the simple fact that he has red hair and gorgeous green eyes and freckles. His teeth are white and straight and made my nipples ache to be between them for a passing second. He is of a height where we look eye to eye and I imagined for a moment I was capable of eye contact. Just for a moment I imagined I could look at someone and they could look at me.
