that rip van Winkle sense comes to me with its touch of mortality like ice on the pane

fugue
As I start to hear the music Jörn composes, how it has begun to come to me in soprano like seagulls wailing and tenors of vocalized lines from Norse mythological sagas
when suddenly I get an urge and I want to hurl myself off a bridge
this place of the celf ….do I forfeit ….so it comes to my awareness and so…. you see, it has always been a part of me; this dictionary …. this fortress….
even as I know the answer I ask —so do I move forward?
….I get sick with fear and vertigo
it is not for them to take apart
so what am I doing —what am I doing? there will be no where to go if ….I share the dictionary; no where to go, no other place to run for cover, no where left within —and no one….no one, at all
but what was it for, anyway?
but
—whose terms? The double edged sword,
only but no, nothing is worth my soul; it is not a product ….is a nom de plume enough, I wonder, and my identity, my face? give them electra?and for someone else ….perhaps it is too much

c'est la muse, en héros, qui donnera une voix à la sirène
celui avec les yeux de vampire ; avec leur beauté féroce et sauvage

Oh woe be gone, melancholy knight, the armor is far too heavy
e.d. ….it is one of those days, but you know I won’t say. I can’t say. and must never. because the moment we do the slippery slope will win and so why do I come here at all if I can never say. so long, the knight. as the wind nearly blew me away today…. on such a bleak plain —so was it the disappointment in hearing something unkind that has gotten back to me about —oh I don’t know, enter any name (how about some barbed wire tied to an ankle) and add a stab to the back and so….it is e.d. just e.d. and only e.d. who has held us up….
et toi, si tu es vraiment là. parce que tu es peut-être le seul à m'avoir jamais vu, et pour cela, j'espère que tu es réel
