Nietzche
Bluelighter
I heard somewhere once
when the sun rises a new day begins . . .
But what if you are one of those who never went to sleep?
One who stayed awake till dawn?
I was not alseep when I heard the alarm clock crow,
Its cackle merely reminder of what I already knew
Surely this condition is not endured in solitude . . .
[Queen maab cannot visit all]
To us . . .
The denizens of the night
The inhabitants of other’s dreams
The lonely and the few
Take comfort:
You are not alone.
Where are you tonight
And who were you with?
[here where present and past tense collide . . .]
In these hours
that only the intrepid withstand
we bunker up
and issue our demands
Faint and hollow
We need not wait for tomorrow . . .
Half a world
Or half an hour
The distances traversed
With only our power
Yeild no comfort, these
Dreams which Ferment and sour
So this morning I’ll return
To a bed with no partner
Having reached my conclusion
I dare not go farther.
[When did my albatross grow so heavy?]
when the sun rises a new day begins . . .
But what if you are one of those who never went to sleep?
One who stayed awake till dawn?
I was not alseep when I heard the alarm clock crow,
Its cackle merely reminder of what I already knew
Surely this condition is not endured in solitude . . .
[Queen maab cannot visit all]
To us . . .
The denizens of the night
The inhabitants of other’s dreams
The lonely and the few
Take comfort:
You are not alone.
Where are you tonight
And who were you with?
[here where present and past tense collide . . .]
In these hours
that only the intrepid withstand
we bunker up
and issue our demands
Faint and hollow
We need not wait for tomorrow . . .
Half a world
Or half an hour
The distances traversed
With only our power
Yeild no comfort, these
Dreams which Ferment and sour
So this morning I’ll return
To a bed with no partner
Having reached my conclusion
I dare not go farther.
[When did my albatross grow so heavy?]
