Fire

Post by elazar »

I feel like this ember is patient enough
allowing me to do all kinds of stuff
drag my feet and twiddle my thumbs
pile shit high and gather small crumbs
leaning into the wind I barely stayed standing
my spirit was thin and very demanding
I calculated the days and put off the event
but it was due like my monthly rent
the ember caught wind and burst into flame
done with days of shyly stuttering it's name
it engulfed the corpse that wandered the roads
turned it into a dragon breathing fire through its nose
passionately climbing out of it's disguise
heat spread through and temperatures rise
when steadily it balanced into a form
leading multiplied flames into a swarm
I barely survived the ember's hibernation
that nearly reversed it's purpose of creation
now it's almost the hour of 6 o'clock
heaving flames are ready to rock
to consume the left over stagnant carbon
cease speaking in an apologetic jargon
hungry energy to grow and expand
lighting up the night heating up the land
breathe deep and live

6 o’clock in the evening or morning?

Stop pretending you know things that you do not know. I am not elazar and the answer to my question interests me.
For future reference there has been only one time that I have ever posted anything under a contrived name and that time I posted “ hello” and that was enough for me.

Fascinating, it had never occured to me that you were elezar. However, your rather frantic denial leads me know to consider the possibility

Bob

* update - I thought about this identity issue for some 10 seconds, but then I fell asleep. There really is a limit to the excitement I can take. And this same "Jack" has now confessed that he used a fake name, address, passport, and driving licence in order to say "hello" on a Leonard Cohen forum. Wow, that is so intense and rebellious.

Later this year I will write a wonderful poem about that adventure that Jack had.

still Bob but with different spelling. As you can see I deliberately swapped the Bs around.

don't you start with "hello", you sound like that new guy here who confesses to saying that UNDER A FALSE NAME!!!! I am pretty sure I have tracked him down on the link below, particularly at 2.00

I have waited nearly a year and a half for your answer to the question posed by the British website. As soon as Lazari UK posed the issue, I thought "elazar will have the answer".


I am shocked that you have allowed the insolent Canadian to escape without a spanking. He is always asking for it, and here he is posing as literate and he walks away free of Scots.

even more shocking is that one can go to canterbury and take a picture of the cathedral, but not go to buckingham and take a picture of the palace.

Shockinger yet, you go to St Paul's Cathedral and do not take a picture of the architect, our very own Sir Geoffrey "Christopher" Wren. Your ignorance, albeit provoked by Geoffrey's strangeness "drives me mad", as our children might say.

I once spoke to Geoffers about this. We were at an International Dentistry Convention, where they were revealing a new tool to remove teeth with just a few soft smashes. The device was a small bronze unit, weighing no more than 20 Kilos, invented in Southern Norway and Geoffrey unveiled it with a flourish, "here is my Lille Hammer", he explained to applau.

Geoffery is a man of few words, and even fewer molars, or incisors. Born without any wisdom (teeth), and no doggy pieces, technically called Canines, Sergeant Geoffrey bestrode the Convention stage, defying convention, as Jazz Police bestrode Leonard Cohen's discography.

Sir Geoffrey spoke from his near vacant mush, "give me Ali, I beat him in a fight, or I draw him to death".

So began the Art Era of obsessive drawing of Ali, and one sculpture that Lord Geoffrey made out of Cassius Clay. His friend Tiger Woods, (not heard of since the last century), commented that Prince Geoffrey was like a "putter in his hands".

I hope that I have betrayed too many confidences, each optimistically entrusted to me by King Geoffrey. I believe I did so humorously, and this is, or could be a Defence under the Law - if they changed the Law.

Emperor Geoffrey Wren, 86 years old and still got all his own prejudices. Happy 87th Birthday for yet another 6th March, 88 years since we were blessed by your emergence! Covid distancing rules mean I shall have to clap my own hands. We all look forward to the time when, once again, we clap the hands of passing strangers.

You are very kind. I still hold the dream that one day I will no longer hold the dream. I don't know if it will ever happen, or indeed not happen, but it's not always wrong to dream, despite what doctors never say, both when I am there, and when I am not.
