Proverb
Proverb
bright star, spin faster, spin higher, spin all the splendor of
us as revolutionary crisis, bright star, we’re here
regardless of the future, rouse radical ambiance
not violence, the future is a filter that flatters all
thus is fake, we awake forever in a sweet unrest
how faithfully we inventory all the hours, though
even the seas and seasons have lost track of all measure
vaster facilities for storage, less held knowledge, how
industrious the laws that see matter as pro forma
let it go, bright star, this blade, pulse, breath has no other
lesson, you’ll burn me from within, just as I’ve done with them
a mind is a mine, mine, hem roeckt niet wiens huys dat brant
goes old wisdom, als hi hem by de colen wermen mach
endless is the chill of not yet, not near, enough –
