"One with a flash begins, and ends in smoke;
Another out of smoke brings glorious light,
And (without raising expectations high)
Surprises us with dazzling miracles." -Horace, Ars Poetica, V. 143
... necia diligencia errada
de quien borrar quiere con empeño
... afán caduco
de quien del olvido aún no es dueño...
... cadáver
inquieto del insomnio pedigüeño
... polvo
efímero libre sin límite ni diseño
... sombra
húmeda ceniza de cada sueño
y en nada...
se quema se consume
de lo vano impune
de la furia que se esfuma
se apaga y muere
en polvo. en sombra. en nada.

preorder here @amazon Pamela Bannos: Vivian Maier: A Photographer’s Life and Afterlife
Who was Vivian Maier? Many people know her as the reclusive Chicago nanny who wandered the city for decades, constantly snapping photographs, which were unseen until they were discovered in a seemingly abandoned storage locker
...
But, as Pamela Bannos reveals in this meticulous and passionate biography, this story of the nanny savant has blinded us to Maier’s true achievements, as well as her intentions. Most important, Bannos argues, Maier was not a nanny who moonlighted as a photographer; she was a photographer who supported herself as a nanny.
In Vivian Maier: A Photographer’s Life and Afterlife, Bannos contrasts Maier’s life with the mythology that strangers—mostly the men who have profited from her work—have created around her absence. Bannos shows that Maier was extremely conscientious about how her work was developed, printed, and cropped, even though she also made a clear choice never to display it. She places Maier’s fierce passion for privacy alongside the recent spread of her work around the world, and she explains Maier’s careful adjustments of photographic technique, while explaining how the photographs have been misconstrued or misidentified.
...
This authoritative and engrossing biography shows that the real story of Vivian Maier, a true visionary artist, is even more compelling than the myth.

You have to pick the places you don't walk away from.
The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.
I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.
We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.
We tell ourselves stories in order to live.
Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends. Life changes in the instant. The ordinary instant.

TRIeJA
TRIEJA relación, en una forma de matrimonio, que puede estar compuesta por dos hombres y una mujer, por dos mujeres y un hombre, por tres mujeres o por tres hombrescolombia autoriza primer matrimonio A tres
vayaaaa, que ya era hora. a proteger los bienes, y las carteras, que con mi culo yo hago lo que yo quiera... sí, ya era hora.
siempre me ha llamado la atención que eso de la trieja es muy común entre hombres gay, quienes sin apenas problemas aparentes comparten y reparten, tanto culo como cama como comida y comfort, y todos felices como perdices.
y lo entiendo, porque va bien con la exterioridad sexual masculina, siempre pienso. sin embargo, la mujer y su interioridad profundamente sentimental.... a ver, a ver, propónganle eso de la trieja a una lesbiana para que vean drama, dramita, dramón de verdad. las lesbias son, por lo general, todo o nada. total, para terminar en nada y de amiguitas compartecasa sin cama caliente, y a veces, ni tibia. ah, y si hay infidelidades, por eso u otras razones, se rasgan las túnicas medievales. es una cosa mujeril uteril ovaril muy muy de dentro y nada superficial.
y sísísí, vale, que yo también he pecado de ese drama lesbiposesivismo... en mis juventudes desviadas y tal, los enamoramientos pérfidos, la comemierdería en bandeja y fuácata, descuarejingada sale una embalada de esas trampas con el "esto a mí no me vuelve a pasar". y entonces pasa una al libertinaje, saltando de verja en verga... como quien dice... saltarina sexual dando desafinadas serenatas nocturnas.
por eso esta idea, lo de la TRIeJA, que no es nueva pero que sí debería ser legal en todas partes, y lo del polyamorous no sé qué etc., me atraen. porque nenes, lo del youCompleteMe es mentira del fondo del barril peliculero. lo sabemos, y sin embargo, seguimos en la búsqueda... constante. porque es el único eje que nos sostiene como humanos, no estar solos y tener a alguien que nos acople, couplehood, tremendo gueto. Ok, vale, sí, es cierto que hay relaciones muy completas, que llenan los vacíos de todo tipo, tal vez no hasta el tope, pero casi... pero son raras, rarísimas. así que después de tanto deslizarme por esas pistas heladas, siempre con los patines inapropiados, creo que puedo decir con gran seguridad que el ser humano nOdebeVivirENpareja. no es su naturaleza. no es la condición de animal pensante verdadera. porque si pensamos, sabemos que en la variedad está todo... las opciones, las decepciones, la cultura y la experiencia. entonces, las mujeres, como somos tan sentimentales, vivimos en la angustia constante de cómo superar ese dique. pues... la trieja, cuarteja, quinteja... o lo que dé el cuerpo, la mente, y el bolsillo, claro. porque gasto desgasto mucho atracón y regadera eso de la singueta multicompleja y con tanta gente, a la vez. por eso digo, a quien me quiera escuchar, que tiene que ser una cosa madura y organizada...

candela fina

a lo lejos
divisas
el árbol
bush
en llamas
mientras la tierra
se abre y el cielo
se oscurece
el volcán escupe
lava densa roja espesa
y tiembla el sub
suelo hondo
suelo hondo
deep
que se abre
que se abre
en la corteza
que se adentra
en el miedo de la llaga
wound
wound
hirviente en tus ojos
el vicio vacuo
el vicio vacuo
que dice saber
hacia dónde dirige
la carne al tacto
entre candela fina
tan repentina
caliente
turbia cristalina
turbia cristalina

el tren fantasma
seen at BoingBoing/2011:
Chris Watson was a founder of the 1970s experimental music/performance art group Cabaret Voltaire who has become an ambient sound recordist for television, film, and radio. More than a decade ago, Watson spent a month on a train traveling across Mexico with a BBC TV crew documenting the Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México's last continuous passenger service across the country from the Pacific to Atlantic coast. Watson has since gone back and cut his ambient audio archive of the trip into an acoustic journey, "evoking memories of a recent past, capturing the atmosphere, rhythms and sounds of human life, wildlife and the journey itself along the tracks of one of Mexico’s greatest engineering projects." The recording, titled "El Tren Fantasma," was broadcast on Radio BBC 4 last year.

The Triumph of BullshitT. S. Eliot
Ladies, on whom my attentions have waited
If you consider my merits are small
Etiolated, alembicated,
Orotund, tasteless, fantastical,
Monotonous, crotchety, constipated,
Impotent galamatias
Affected, possibly imitated,
For Christ’s sake stick it up your ass.
Ladies, who find my intentions ridiculous
Awkward insipid and horridly gauche
Pompous, pretentious, ineptly meticulous
Dull as the heart of an unbaked brioche
Floundering versicles feebly versiculous
Often attenuate, frequently crass
Attempts at emotions that turn out isiculous,
For Christ’s sake stick it up your ass.
Ladies, who think me unduely vociferous
Amiable cabotin making a noise
That people may cry out “this stuff is too stiff for us”—
Ingenuous child with a box of new toys
Toy lions carnivorous, cannons fumiferous
Engines vaporous—all this will pass;
Quite innocent— “he only wants to make shiver us.”
For Christ’s sake stick it up your ass.
And when thyself with silver foot shall pass
Among the Theories scattered on the grass
Take up my good intentions with the rest
And then for Christ’s sake stick them up your ass.

"La poesía de om ulloa se alimenta de... interconexiones entre soma, naturaleza y lenguaje. Pero en medio de un discurso despeinado, aparentemente silvestre e irregular, hay una mano que ordena, como en un laboratorio o en una caja de maquetación textual, cada uno de los procesos... Poesía de experimentación continua, pero también de pulso y bombeo en que el dolor no es menos importante que el divertimento. El yo poemático de glotOnerías y olfAteos (de florEs en cUbículos) es, además, un animal erótico, sintáctico y político".
YOANDY CABRERA, poeta cubano
Ya a la venta en @amazon:
