Now, I am once again living in the sweetdarkness of my own confusion, a manwho loves women and the parched earth and his thirst for water. All that completes metears at the fragile seams of seeming calm.All that offers warmth offers fire, and wewho slept together in the womb of another timenow wake as rivals in a sea without estuaries.
Love Strange Love (1982)
Mother and brother, sister, lover, husband,daughter, infidel and father. The stage fillswith cast thrown into a play written for harlequins.Out of a single torso, the Hydra-headed monsterrises and walks to the center of the stage,and though we bury its immortal head beneatha stone, though we sear the open necksof its severed heads to clear the air,they sprout again, leaving us calling outinto the crowd for some nephew to save us.
Now, there is a sleep and a mist, a sleepand a mist and the love-lust of a strangeand bitter time. Only the wild dogs anddream-icons remember what it was to love.But there are a man and a woman, and theywant to love each other, but have falleninto the deep reveries of the Hydra-headedself. There is a dream that requires sleepto find its meaining. There is a man andthere is a woman and their arms are lockedaround each other in a deep sleep aimed at finding who they were, at finding who theywill be, in the new garden from which somany eat, and in which no one wants to plant.
