If being is eventual

You play Arabic music, French music,

Madagascan music that I’ve never heard

I play UK rappers, minimal techno,

Alice Coltrane

- Kae Tempest

I’m learning to recognise

each pitch in the scale of your silence

- Kae Tempest

Careful with the radio

All songs might be the straw

That whips the camel’s broken back

And leaves you on the floor

No matter that you’ve heard the song

Six thousand times before

- Kae Tempest

I’ve come here today to remember myself,

I’m looking for who used to live in my bones

Before they existed to hope for your kisses.

But London has changed

- Kae Tempest

Getting out more

Kae Tempest

I’m inviting

one night stands

To come to gigs

and meet my friends

I don’t know

when this will end

I call you up.

It rings

and rings

Sem você é um silêncio tal

Que ouço uma nuvem a vagar no céu

- Chico Buarque, Sem você n.º 2

I wake in the night and hear noises

I stand on my own by the window

- Kae Tempest, Things I do in our house since you left

Nothingness haunts being.

- Jean-Paul Sartre

The truth is the whole.

- Hegel

We learn from history that we do not learn from history.

- Hegel

Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.

- Hegel

The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk.

Coruja

Orides Fontela

Voo onde ninguém mais - vivo em luz  

mínima 

ouço o mínimo arfar - farejo o 

sangue 

  

e capturo 

a presa 

em pleno escuro.

The lily’s withered chalice falls

Around its rod of dusty gold,

And from the beech-trees on the wold

The last wood-pigeon coos and calls.

- Oscar Wilde
