I have been quite vexed at my own actions and I must confess my crimes immediately to you -<br />-occasionally having a quiet drink with friends at a pub.<br />-going out dancing because I love to dance and have always thought it a great way of unwinding after a long and tiring week.<br />-going back home on a bus with a boy who studies in my college. I see why even though we live close to each other we must not get on the same bus to go to college (i will suggest to him that he should always take the later bus, so what if he misses a lecture...afterall we're talking of "honor" here).<br />-wearing "western" clothes because they're comfortable and easy to manage.<br />-speaking my mind and striving to forge my own identity as a woman and a human-being.<br />-falling in love and showing the person I love that I love him.<br />-acknowledging my body and its needs and desires.<br /><br />You have opened my eyes now. But I regret to inform you that since I've spent too many years in the habit of being shameless try as I may I am unable to do things differently. This worried me quite a bit until last week when I saw you all on t.v. I am so delighted that I no longer have to worry about my honor since you have decided to take care of me. What would women like me do without you?<br /><br />And so I am thrilled to send you my pink panties today. As keepers of my shame I hope you will take care of them. I will now roam the world less burdened with this matter of my honor and reassured that my shame is well taken care of by all of you who have so graciously taken the role of being the "keepers of my culture, honour and shame."<br /><br />Yours sincerely,<br /><br />A Shameless (& now obviously panty-less) Indian Woman.Entelechiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08575526716744979614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33751417.post-69179592751547491932009-01-19T19:34:00.000-08:002009-01-19T22:28:18.244-08:00Gaza<span style="font-size:85%;">There is a war out there.<br />And no one is able to say who started it.<br /><br />There, people shrouded in glowing white<br />Move around, mostly children.<br />It is a silent procession through broken down buildings made of alphabets<br />A playground that came apart under lights, like a nervous acrobat<br />With a spine of cactus.<br />A little farther down the road, is the " Dead Mothers' Lost and Found Dept."<br />"Finders keepers", they say, "Losers weepers", they say.<br />Continuing into the night, they will find their favourite film star,<br />On fire, frightened and not such a hero afterall.<br />He will die, forever, and the thought will break that girl's heart.<br />They come upon a barbed mirror and ask;<br />"Are we on the wrong side, or is that the right side?"<br /><br />Then the youngest and weakest of those children<br />That boy right at the back of the amnesty queue<br />Who has silently been fitting together these pieces of alphabets, acrobats, dead mothers<br />and broken hearts into his jigsaw puzzle memory,<br />that boy will say<br />"I can't wait to grow up and find out"<br /><br />Do you ever wonder<br />about the terrifying whirligig of time?<br /></span>Entelechiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08575526716744979614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33751417.post-54856182623797385452009-01-12T23:30:00.000-08:002009-01-12T23:34:54.115-08:00Love Song for Mephisto (1)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/SWxDavzSZ0I/AAAAAAAAAFY/g6pkSIIczFw/s1600-h/mephistopheles_s.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 121px; height: 188px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/SWxDavzSZ0I/AAAAAAAAAFY/g6pkSIIczFw/s200/mephistopheles_s.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290677789040731970" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">In your eyes, Mephisto,<br />Are promises of a hellish love<br />I'll take it; Because you see<br />In these years I have come to doubt<br />That there is any other sort.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.oleanova.com/gambling_art.htm">www.oleanova.com/<wbr>gambling_art.htm</a></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">By the artist Olea Nova</span>Entelechiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08575526716744979614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33751417.post-65449866723886583142009-01-06T07:14:00.000-08:002009-01-06T07:30:59.306-08:00Trust<span style="font-size:85%;">with some i can never find</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">and others i was completely blind...</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span>Entelechiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08575526716744979614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33751417.post-37977496250035723372009-01-05T07:27:00.000-08:002009-01-05T08:15:13.605-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/SWInHB-fwcI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/qABPlC4XYL0/s1600-h/sea.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 146px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/SWInHB-fwcI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/qABPlC4XYL0/s200/sea.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287831914229514690" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">There is such sadness in the music that the Cello brings. A sadness capable of immense inspiration or it might unravel all fortifications that one makes around the soul. The Count said to the other courtiers - no he did not say he asked because he did not know himself - the secret of forgetfulness...<br /><br />Why are we taught to fight all feeling? Especially feeling that might make us honest or vulnerable...Truth is fragile and often breaks like old women's bones. A broken heart. A scattered smile. The wish to draw tortoise shells on all the walls and breathe life into them...But<br /><br />Never go so far that you may not return. After all death is so incurable. Static and stubborn like a finishing line. It takes away the beauty of a place, borrowing from it its eternity - never, never to return that moment of the sea.<br /><br />This is who I am. Who I wish to be. Why must I fear that eye which looks at me. It is mine own. I must speak because this silence will drive me insane. Sometimes the music envelops me - lifting me from this room and beyond the forgotten owl's nest. Only sometimes.<br /><br />Then what of those green burdens? Can I leave them for the cart to carry when it takes me away? Power, Courage, Honor, Right, Success - I try to believe in all these things. Perhaps I even do. And it shames me so the believing and the non-believing only because often I get greedy for an answer, which is which, who is who.<br /><br />And then you say there will be time for everything.<br /><br />Ah! that these days might have passed by a blue sea or in sun flower fields. But now these things; the blue sea, the goldmines of a sunflower field, aquatic life, other galaxies and the sadness in the music that the Cello brings - now they must be collected and pressed into folds of words - one day, a Spring day, to be found out again and thrown away into that place where we throw away everything that ever mattered.<br /></span>Entelechiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08575526716744979614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33751417.post-20126453386740030772009-01-02T03:09:00.000-08:002009-01-02T03:18:01.460-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/SV33saPHHzI/AAAAAAAAAFI/6JqDDd9WoOs/s1600-h/VanGogh_Bedroom_Arles1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 156px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/SV33saPHHzI/AAAAAAAAAFI/6JqDDd9WoOs/s200/VanGogh_Bedroom_Arles1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286653879931838258" border="0" /></a><br />Poetry has left the room...room has left the poet...left poetry in the room...Entelechiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08575526716744979614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33751417.post-46973337023563146632008-12-30T05:35:00.000-08:002008-12-30T10:17:58.209-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/SVomVC6dNzI/AAAAAAAAAFA/goB_nWVRDJI/s1600-h/_MG_9957.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/SVomVC6dNzI/AAAAAAAAAFA/goB_nWVRDJI/s200/_MG_9957.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285579255673861938" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Cat.<br /><br />Are you contemplating the sum of your nine lives<br />or simply bored?<br /><br />Did you ever want to go to sleep and not wake up?

I could lie then, without speaking.<br />And you believed me without listening to anything I said.<br />Such a world it was without a hell; only the promise of it.<br /><br />Now hell is in my mind, in my clothes, and in all the bottles on the table.<br />I choose only one hell from another to consume everyday.<br />How can I love like that? Now that I know Love. She is as ugly as Truth in the old tale.<br /><br />I know nothing. Except that they had us fooled all along.<br />They were only selling another miracle drug. And you know I don't pop pills so easy.<br />Now I run into people who've seen you mumbling to yourself at the corner of the street.<br />They say you look well and happy when no ones watching.<br /><br />There is so much left to do.<br /><br />I have little time left.Entelechiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08575526716744979614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33751417.post-18208145167699541342008-06-19T23:22:00.000-07:002008-06-19T23:38:27.309-07:00Surrogation<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/SFtN2Tob-0I/AAAAAAAAAC4/u_9KvWHS2ec/s1600-h/pregnant.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/SFtN2Tob-0I/AAAAAAAAAC4/u_9KvWHS2ec/s200/pregnant.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213846588989635394" border="0" /></a>Everyday I swell for someone else<br />This joy is not mine to spend or invest<br />They come with gifts. Food for my joy.<br /><br />Everyday I bury myself under shame<br />This is what I do for life...I make more living things<br />So that my own can live.<br /><br />Don't you dare judge me.<br />I don't sell my body. I give boons to those who seek them.<br /><br /><br />Year after year this body swells and drops like ocean waves<br />And I am as unattached as the waves. High tide, low tide.<br />These are only technical terms attached to the profession.<br /><br />One day these boons will take everything I have<br />And there will be one less goddess on earth.<br /><br />But don't worry you who comes to me<br />My sister, she lives a few villages away<br />Is in the boon-giving business too.Entelechiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08575526716744979614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33751417.post-32029425132352576532008-03-28T04:44:00.000-07:002008-06-18T00:07:25.107-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/R-za6IiUOFI/AAAAAAAAACw/f3uSW0i359A/s1600-h/bertha+mason.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182757963455281234" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/R-za6IiUOFI/AAAAAAAAACw/f3uSW0i359A/s200/bertha+mason.bmp" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:85%;">Each point has been put forth </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The facts of the case are all out in the open</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The judgement to be passed </span><span style="font-size:85%;">is on a woman's character;</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The jury might claim it was her double </span><span style="font-size:85%;">who killed Bluebeard afterall.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The slave girl;</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Dark, violent, the sea, beautiful beast.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">In China they consider beasts in bottles - </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Submit (they say) to every kind of distortion or be locked up in footwear forever.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Such joy to watch the sea turn to pond or painting. </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Quiet. </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Still. </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Dumb. </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Dead.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span>Entelechiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08575526716744979614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33751417.post-35595240728867962262008-03-28T04:27:00.000-07:002008-03-28T04:44:12.649-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/R-zYZoiUOEI/AAAAAAAAACo/b_0gcLx07yo/s1600-h/edges.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182755206086277186" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KrTNo1N3Lvc/R-zYZoiUOEI/AAAAAAAAACo/b_0gcLx07yo/s200/edges.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;">At the edge of language </span><span style="font-size:85%;">I swim with you tonight a</span><span style="font-size:85%;">s words dissolve in to prussian colours. </span><span style="font-size:85%;">I see you through latticed memories that are sweet in my mouth and bitter in my throat.
