impossible to be free<br />
of the romance of Paris<br />
even in the grittiest backstreets of Aubervilliers<br />
there are blooms<br />
<br />
and the Paris skyline<br />
tower and wheel<br />
lingam and yoni<br />
the eternal recurrence<br />
<br />

splendid chateau<br />
a majestic pre-revolutionary pile<br />
gilded and chased <br />
created by a revolutionary<br />
deliberate paradox<br />

<i>from the British museum</i><br />
<br />
If it wasn't for the museum with its plundered treasures<br />
I would never have seen this beautiful Venus.<br />
But she wasn't stolen by piratical peers;<br />
Italian born and bred, she passed through dynasty after dynasty<br />
then she was given to Charles I.<br />
Poor beheaded king,<br />
his collection was broken up and sold off<br />
and she found her way into the museum,<br />
where she crouches, more luminous than any other,<br />
her mrble skin seemingly as soft as roses.<br />
You long to run your palm over her luscious thigh<br />
men and women melt at the sight of her<br />
she is more desired than ever.<br />
Goddess of desire,<br />
in an age when everything is splayed out in front of us in gory colour<br />
pulsating and suppurating <br />
her creamy marble-ness is calming and profound.<br />
She makes you belive in love in all its relentlessness<br />
and all its pain<br />
and that whatever hell love is<br />
it is always worth it.<br />

Last week they found a head near here, long sunk under these shallow green waters, a head bagged and packed. For many months I averted my eyes from the water, careful not look too closely into the depths since I knew the head was there. We all did. Weekly the police marine unit convened here, rubber suited divers plunging up to their waists in the murky canal, diving below to try and find missing body parts. Eventually it was all recovered, that which was once a person, poor murdered girl. Horror gives way to pity. The mysteries of London.<br />

On days like these I want a machete to slice through the thick, low sky; cut a hole in it the size of Abyssinia and release the poor exiled oppressed sun.GillianMcIverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17918204584074545757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741829816104777737.post-75214445390546026622012-04-22T13:49:00.000-07:002012-04-22T13:52:05.085-07:00freak<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">The ancient philosophers developed theories about beauty and its relationship to harmony and perfection. These theories weren't applied on the basis of how people actually looked, but how beauty invokes ideals.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">But the fact remains that we members of the human species have a lot of “imperfections.” And classical ideals simply keep coming back to make us aware of it. We feel like freaks, “abnormal,” aware of what's “wrong” with us.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">And yet, most attempts to describe perfection, ends up being much more creepy than our ordinary freakiness. To really describe humanity you have to describe the freak, not the “perfection.” What's constant through history however is how the freak – the normal person – aims toward physical perfection and in doing so, turns themselves into real freaks. </p>GillianMcIverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17918204584074545757noreply@blogger.com0
