close your
eyes
inverted black & white
go to the other side
Maria
face black as a starry night sky
body-shadow amongst infinite spaces
looks at you
pulsations rhythms sparks
Maria
Black Astarte of chtonic powers
awesome mask,
wild-haired, wide-eyed like a petrifying
Medusa
stares at you down to the very core
of your bones
appears disappears
sonic spell
as in a state of hypnosis
I am inescapably propelled
towards my own uncanny
Maria
Black Kali or sorceress whose hand
annihilates obstacles in a strike
cyberwoman coming out of her Pandora's
box
reflects the abysmal mirror of my own
fears
danse trance fury
forms break down the image is shattered
acceleration
pulsations
and the body in all its physical power
becomes
an unbearable whiteness
a radical void
vibrating, palpitating
like a screen of a myriad electrons
where,
ultimate beyond, I lose myself
until
something happens, since in this light
fall turns to rise
darkness to light
fear to desire
death to renewal
in nothingness everything is
pulsar : stars become dust, pure energy
Maria
shamanic body of transfigurative powers
frightening, groundbreaking
so as to let only the essential be
the need for love, the cry of life,
the courage to face the angel of death,
the fluid gentleness
all this is to be seen
for whomever wants to see, eyes all
shut, yet
for this to be believed, one might
have already met one's own Medusa
and gone along the inner path of dread
on which beauty, strength and compassion
are to be found
- seen this ugly mask of ours, our
own insignificance
accepted it - or the sorceress' eye
may lie in for long
haunting us like an age-old Erenny
Pulsar
close your eyes
throw your gaze into the unfathomable
a black gaze unifying the invisible
forces of the body
with those of exploding stars
