Filing system 08/11/2011
 
He wants me to organise my nostalgia
Clipped, filed and sectioned.

He wants me to discipline my despair
Arrange its night-bitten edges
over the luxury of time.

He expects to see perfection in me
I am planning to buy it for him
But only after I am free of arranging
But only if I am finished with

labelling the jagged edges.

    Disclaimer

    This is where I will be fanciful, silly, unembarrassed, gushy, mushy, maudlin, giggly, and perhaps rarely, wise. I claim to be neither a poet nor a translator but here you might find me doing both -- writing poetry and translating all that I love. I claim neither to beauty of prose nor to wisdom of thought. I claim neither to originality nor to brilliance. I claim neither to appeal nor to sense. What I do claim to is this space -- endless space, mine and mine alone. To indulge.
