Psychoanalysis of the Leader in exile

4th FRagment

Man's imagery has no limits.
His madness is infinite.
He's capable of believing that secrets are kept in the heart.
He's capable of believing that truth is more than what it is:
Instant,
in the production of any work,
of any love.
Madmen's time, this time where not even I exist.
Marine algebra, algebras
and sea winds,
and little stories.
Little and mysterious stories,
among which
the secret figure of my being
hides.
While I write,
the same worry always harasses me:
To write something that can be understood.
I look at myself and it shows.
I am, precisely, a dilemma.
A visceral pulling
against another visceral pulling.
In the same gaze,
two hatreds, two loves.
In the same fire,
two flames, two ashes.
When blood occurred,
it was against the own blood.
One as red as the other.
Turbulent hands,
like an effort comparable to dying,
disassemble the mechanism:
number two doesn't exist,
it's always an unfolding of the image.

Writing is part of the farce
or writing is my superiority, my manhood?

At the verge of being quartered,
a man should shout, asking for help,
a man should shout, asking
a man should shout,
a man should
and however,
a man is also a noisy downfall,
a lover of his own massacre,
an exquisite memory of his tearings.
A story
that has been repeating itself for centuries.

  I have no more desperate encounters,
 in general I have no encounters.
 Everything bursts. Everything is sublime.
The body and the word, so written,
are, we must know,
edges of a dialectic.
And in that devilish struggle
between existence and essence,
Reality, Truth, the Symptom
always succeed.
Men, women, infatuated with
famous and old relations
among free persons and slaves.
I'd like
to start everything from scratch.
In front of this emptiness.
In front of this impossibility.
Smoke and barbarism.
And a slow afternoon
where everything elapses as if it were little,
as if its passage were far away.

PSYCHOANALYSIS OF THE LEADER IN EXILE

5th FRAGMENT

Ocean  breeze, archangel of night.
Your whole mouth is
perfume and violence among darkness.
I unchain the rites of love in my being.
Dry vintage.
I bloom among your juices.
I interweave my life with your ferns.
Anchor and sea, your smells,
your open and disorderly fish.
Beast's eyes. Cow.
Cow of solitude.
Sometimes I think that the best
is to drink the nectars savagely.
Sometimes I think that the best
is to eat the fruit savagely.
I have with me, I know,
fruit and nectars
to savagely eat and drink myself.
And however, writing
is always
a happiness for the heart.
To emerge from the shadows,

To emerge from the shadows of the sea.
Aquatic kangaroo.
Hours from a life always desperate and alive.
Small words will be building the world.
Stubborn gallops will be covering the distances.
Among marine beauties I tear your skin,
I put my life on stage
in the contours of your rhythm,
I detect you undefined
among the light sheets of paper.
Onto the wind.
Onto the time.
To poetry.
Tenacious among your dead,
crazy and alive,
iridescent molecular eye,
flame of love, poetry,
tenacious, purifying algebra,
burning antiseptic
against the small animals in the wood.
Nocturnal nerve and light,
muscles and massacre,
fleshes, vintages of flesh,
poetry in the future
against what might smell rotten.
Onto the wind.
Onto the time.
To poetry.

THE COW WAS ALWAYS
A LITTLE CRAZY

MONOLOGUE BETWEEN THE COW
AND THE MORIBUND
A book by MIGUEL OSCAR MENASSA

 "I am tense, I have appetites, hungers of millenniums and now they'll want to content me with some piece of cheese, excrescence of some pastoral cow, or the same cow beaten to death and quartered on the table, recalling  ancient rites,  where men ate each other, and that was love.
               I stab  my small knife mercilessly into the cow's heart and the cow moos, it tears itself with passion in front of the murderer. I, with surgical precision, separate grease and nerves and I give my beloved one a morsel from the cow's burnt ovaries.
               -We're free, she says to me, while she entertains herself with the noise of her teeth trying to chew the burnt parts of the universe. Later, lighter, making  a mirage of everything, a lie, she says to me with ease:
               A magisterial cow that moos and murders all the time lives in me. Sometimes she seems in pain, but nothing matters to her, she knows that she was born to be beaten to death, and then she shits everywhere and the mad flowers eat what is essential of shit and grow rapidly towards the future."
