The words you don’t say remain in circulation, on a merry-go-round whilst you don’t speak the words, they carry on playing in their playground waiting for the game of words to be free to be played the swing is always empty; it’s the only game they never play. words – spoken or unspoken – don’t like to come back, they say.

The more you think about it, the more your gut feeling will believe that you don’t trust him — so don’t complain later if he wanders off into the countryside, to gaze at the windmills that tell him stories of Don Quixote.

Seasonal tips by @ioenina / MAY

RHUBARB: Be flamboyant rhubarb, unexpected creature, mysterious tongue-twister! (You can’t possibly please everyone; if everyone likes you, it means you haven’t made any choices).

BROAD BEAN: A treasure trove of words to be spoken—if you’re lucky, you’ll find them all on the table, on the checkered tablecloth, waiting for you.

SPRING ONIONS: They looked like blades of grass—but they were substantial doubts, flavorful exclamations.

CHARD: Like a book you don’t expect, with a sturdy spine and languid pages.

PEAS: Ellipses a plenty — nothing left unsaid, just necklaces of precious invisible thread.

LOQUAT & STRAWBERRY: Tell the difference between the stone of things vs. the surface of things.

GREEN BEANS: Omit the end only if it is a green bean.

A Blade of Grass You ask for a poem. I offer you a blade of grass. You say it is not good enough. You ask for a poem. I say this blade of grass will do. It has dressed itself in frost, It is more immediate Than any image of my making. You say it is not a poem, It is a blade of grass and grass Is not quite good enough. I offer you a blade of grass. You are indignant. You say it is too easy to offer grass. It is absurd. Anyone can offer a blade of grass. You ask for a poem. And so I write you a tragedy about How a blade of grass Becomes more and more difficult to offer, And about how as you grow older A blade of grass Becomes more difficult to accept. Brian Patten (Love Poems, Flamingo, 1990)

Who will tell the little girl that every forget-me-not she picks will become vast, defining memories - unshakable Colossi of Rhodes and blue they seemed to vanish the moment she picked them.

Manifesto del qui e ora e basta.

@ioenina

I don’t want to pick flowers to fill a vase but out of a mad longing for love and I don’t want to draw to fill the emptiness of a box, here but out of a mad longing for truth Let my reality be free to be urgent — the golden rule of truth.

How did you get here? 1 – On foot 2 – Sometimes getting it wrong, sometimes not 3 – Looking for my favourite view (but ‘here’, where exactly?) 4 – Doing nothing, or the opposite of what I should be doing 5 – by art, the art of making myself happy. (that’s how I’d like to answer, when I ask myself this question – and I will ask it).

First I wait to understand then someone explains it to me and I’m dutiful and precise then I pass through a bridge, a passageway, a cloud of fire, a security gate, a siren’s song and I let it all out, I exorcise the rule, I’m fed up with the tutu, I finish the bread, I take pride and I repent, I doubt and I rejoice it is at that point that I can dance without having to prove dance.
