6 With Wishing Wand in Hand

Civilization
Is a game of rape
Introduced by
City-zen Clints
Eastwoods
Playing Gods
Teaching
Boys and girls cry:
Make my day!”.

A son of
The hooligans
Stole my trust
And turned me
A sovereign
For life
At age eleven
In a toilet
Of the Gdansk
Maritime University
Sheltering
Peasant populists
Fleeing
The City-zen led
Fashist cum Bolshevik
Bloodbaths

A lasting image
Of which
For the poet
Remains
Of dead
Horses
Drawn by cranes
From Sanka’s
deepest holds
To be thrown
Over
Its starboard side
Into jellyfish crowded
Gulf of Gdansk

To float
Until guts fill
With water
And make sink
In sight of
Once amber mines
Of Old Prussian kings
The crippled Gods
The Krihvi*
Of herder (pa-gan)
Tribes**
Of the Balts
*Krihvi—by making use of Grimm’s Law regarding sound shifts by consonants—‘krihvi’ comes to spell ‘klibie’, which is to say ‘clubfoots’ (in Latvian), who most likely were ancient men-Gods of the Balts. We may remember that Oedipus, the famous Greek king, was a clubfoot. Jesus, too, is said to have had a nail driven through his feet, which—following his resurrection —would have made him appear to Mary-Magdalene, his mother, and his disciples with a limp. Why with a limp? Because a limp was the sign by which a man was identified as a scrifice to the Great Spirit, whereafter he became God. In effect, the ”Great Spirit” Who ruled the aboriginal tribes is renamed ”God”. The sacrificial ritual had ancient roots, and is exhaustively described by James Frazer in his book ‘The Golden Bough’. All kings who succeeded the sacrifice were deemed Divine beings. The last three Divine kings in Western civilization were 1. Saint John the Baptist, 2. Jesus, and 3. King Louis XVI of France. Though human sacrifice had long ceased by the time of the last, the myth aboutthe Divinity of kings had remained alive among the common people, who confirmed this by dipping their scarves or handkerchiefs in the blood of the king, who was ordered to be  guillotined by Robespierre https://www.france24.com/en/20121231-rag-dipped-blood-guillotined-french-king-genuine-louis-xvi-dna-history .
*Pagan does not , mean ‘godless’ asi s now commonly believed, but ‘herder’. Ancient tribes earned their livelthood not as ‘hunters gatherers’, but as ‘herders, gatherers, and gardeners’. Pagan is a word that consists of two parts: a prefix ’pa-’, which diminihes the word ‘gan’/ herder that follows it. It’s like turning a virgin into a whore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFK3DJ7Kn6s  .

Along the shores
Of now
Putrid
Become
Baltic.

The first Krihv

Who tried to save
His tribe
From the flood
Of Germanized
Jellyfish
Sucking the skin off
Decaying sacrifice
Sacrificed a sow
And threw
It
Into the sea

Which act
He hoped
Would scare off
Double dicked
Polish Pans.

The Krihv
Scared off
The baptized pricks
But once.

By my day
The pricks had
become
German sailors
Sporting automatic rifles
With which they strafed
The ribs and bellies
Of dead horses
with bullet thuds
That opened holes
And let go

Air and spirit.

Those were days
Also
Of my introduction
To the itch
of skin
Known as Sex

My little prick
Was itched
By the hand
Of an older boy
    (War forgives him
His license)
And pulled
To a land unknown.
   
In Weimar
I entered the milk shop
With raised arm
Heiling Hitler
And watched
The city’s
Theatre burn
Flames bursting
Through
Its arched windows
While
A man
From a Buchenwald
Clearing tubble
Fell before me
On his knees
And begged for
A bread bun
He had spotted
In my shopping basket

    Indoctrinated by
Our hosts
    I refused him.

Mother
Fucked me again
And made love
To a Luftwaffe Officer
From Muenchen
Come to visit
His parents
Who carried
The sign of the wheel
Of the counterclock Sun
Yet took no offense
By the Jewish sounding
surname
Nor asked
Whether I was circumcized.

I already knew
How to make a drill
Of my hand
And piss
Into a pile of sand
In the attick
(Put there
To douse the flames
In case
A phosphorus bomb
Fell through the roof).

    Hans accompanied us
    The night
    The bombs fell
On Luther’s Ehrfurt

    As we watched
    Dresden burn
    Rose red
    Hans
Sitting next to me
Pleasured
Mother’s crotch.

All that was
Sodered
By angst
Into a clump
Of rusted iron
nails
To remind me
 
That
Was du ererbt (hast)
Wolst du besitzen
Far into
The future
And like rust
Beyond removing
Make recall
What kill
I, too,
Had allowed be done
When (age nine):

I offered seeds
To sparrows
In the rose bush
To come feed
On the trigger
Of a rat trap
I watched
My ambition to please
Do slaughter
That no one came
To stop

Why did father
Likely dead of
A bullet
Present me
(On my 6th birthday)
With a toy rifle
Which he raised
To his shoulder
To show
How
Use it.

I know not why
As if
By someforesight
I cried out ”No!”
And did not
Take the thing from him.

But forgave
When screaming
A tantrum of prayers
Sure everyone
Was at the other end
Of the house
I bounced
All over the bed
Begging God
To stay him.

There were days
I fucked mother
With
No lesser
Tandrums
Then watched
Her face
Twist in
Incomprehending
For what reason
She had been
Fucked by her
Lack loved son

Who ran
To her side
And tried revive her
By offering her
Sugared water
To cover up
His sin.

The benefit
Of all that
Was
I had no father
Who took me
To the whore house
Where orphaned girls
faking love
For one and all
Cried to the pimps
”Fuck me!
Fuck me hard!”
Then asked her client:
”Will you marry me?”.

War was
The horse
Between my legs
Turned to a starling
Screaming
Between the cat’s paws
”Spare me!
I have nestlings”
In the nest.

God did not come
(as you may think)
To the rescue
But continued
Over and over again
To die.

”There is no other way
You can be taught,”
He said,
”Not to fear death or
Human indiference
To cruel solutions”.

Cindy said
I was
A macho male.
Silvie said
I had
A beautiful soul
Divine Rusalka
Sings yet
A ”Song to the Moon” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHM3zMBQxTQ  :

It leaves me
Wondering, why
The needfire for love
Of abandoned cats
In post-Soviet Latvia
With step-families
Gone off
To England
To pluck feathers
Off dead chicken bodies
Dipped in hot water
In chicken factories
Where only Muslims
Cut the throats of
Christian raised
Chickens

The cat
Perhaps
Seeking a last minute
Reprieve from
Life gone wrong
Found in my shed
In an old shredded
Cardboard box
A torn towel
To lie and
Die on
And for
Some reason
Made me feel
Like a host
Worthy of a citation.

EC706 This is a REENTRY of re-edited
EC663 [Latvian version: “LIECINIEKS (Citas vēstures stāstam)”]s
The Life Review of Robin Ludd/ A Family Epic

5 An Augenblink

Consciousness is
But the memory
Of a dream
Encapsuled
By vanity.

Wrote Goethe
(Imagining
Himself as son of
Job or Faust
And, thus, a beneficiary
Of Divine intercession):

“Was du ererbt
Von deinen Vätern hast,
Erwirb es,
Um es zu besitzen.”
(Auth. trans: What you inherit from your fathers, inherit it in such a way as to possess it)

“Was man nicht nützt,

Ist eine schwere Last,
Nur was der Augenblick

Erschafft,

Das kann er nützen.”

(Auth. trans: What one does not use of one’s inheritance) becomes an unbearable burden that survives for but the blink of an eye.)

Goethe knew that
“Hail Death!”
Was embracedby
The trumpet’s blare
(God presented
At the
Devil’s
Victory celebration)
That glorified
Job’s faith.

Is this why
Wolfgang*led
His German sheep
Out of God’s sight?
*Wolfgang is a German name that translates as ‘herder of wolves’, though originally it likely meant ‘guardian of the herd from wolves’, i.e. ‘shepherd’. Because Goethe’s personal names are ‘Johann Wolfgang’, and ‘Johann’ is but a variation of ‘gang’/aka jang, yan, jean, john, huan, ivan etc., all cognates that recall the ancient occupation of tribes as herders of forest animals. Be that as it may, it is this poet’s guess that Goethe’s subjectivelyf identified himself more with the occupation of his ancestors than German intelligentsia of the 18th or 19th csentury.

    I love my cat
    For the Augenblicks
He cherishes
When stretched out
On my lap
After hunting a mouse
And his paws bite
Into my thigh
and I cry ‘Thanks’
and grab him
by the scruff.

    Not surprisingly
    In an Age of
    Conceited
Human lemings
    Thirsting
immortal waters
en masse

    History is become
an Augenblick
by virtue of being
Set in ever so brittle
White plaster
    by historians
Making-believe
Themselves masons
    Of fortifications
For a civilization
    On foundations of
    foreshortened lives
    And corpses

That shield
Cities and states
From consciousness
And lip
Birthday songs
Sans a birth date
Parents or child.

Ours is a time
Tanners
And drives
Gatherers of
Animal hair and wool
Off rosebush stalks

for a living.

Simple men
Hunt elk
And Used car dealers
show antlers
On the walls
Of their mobile home
offices.

Desperate women
    Fuck desperate men
    To spell
    Children
    With a wit as desperate.

Psychologists and
Doctors of Philosophy
Hold to vanity
With convincing
Conceit

No one knows why
They they believe
Themselves
Conscious, and
And know nada
About the anatomy of
The pyche

    Or why
Their children
    Pretend
With narry a doubt
That God is naught
And was created
By some suicidal poet
Desperate for
A human audience.

Just so,
last night
After more
Than fifty years
I again met Silvie
Who once
I was engaged to marry.

I saw her
On a street in Boston
Pushing
A baby carriage
And asked her:

Is that you, Silvie?

She turned to me
Met my eye
And abruptly
Turned again
Away from me.

Taken aback
I said:
”I am sorry,
Take care”
And continued my way
Up Beacon Street
To where it ends
I know not.

Thereafter
Thirty years
Came to make
And became
Nearly forgot
Before another 30
Did their turn.

By some grace
The face of
The babe
Of Anne’s miscarriage
I saw not.

Such
Moments of
Remembrance
When
A foreshortened
Life skids out
From under one
Become
The eternalest
Of curses.

Ai,
As is the habit
of dreams
It awakened me
To another day:

Had I but lived
In the countryside
And been a cobbler
Of horses’ hooves
And you a maid
In my aunt’s kitchen,
I would have been
All over you
Till our
Kingdom in bed
Was aswirl
And your sweet lava of
Honey and cream
Breasts
And gives suck
To another generation
Of innocents.
