Up, abysmal thought, out of my depths! I am your rooster and dawn, you sleepy worm: Up! Up! My voice will yet crow you awake! Unsnap the straps of your ears: listen! Because I want to hear you! Up! Up! Here there is thunder enough to make even graves learn to listen! And wipe the sleep and all that befogs and blinds you from your eyes! Hear me with your eyes too: my voice is a remedy even for those born blind. And once you are awake, you shall remain awake eternally. It is not my manner to wake great-grandmothers from their sleep only to tell them — go back to sleep! You stir, you stretch, you gasp? Up! Up! No gasping — you will speak to me! Zarathustra summons you, the godless one! I, Zarathustra, the advocate of life, the advocate of suffering, the advocate of the circle — you I summon, my most abysmal thought! Hail
to me! You are coming – I hear you! My abyss speaks, I have unfolded my ultimate depth to the light!

The City of Dreadful Night

Per me si va nella citta dolente.

--Dante

Poi di tanto adoprar, di tanti moti
D'ogni celeste, ogni terrena cosa,
Girando senza posa,
Per tornar sempre la donde son mosse;
Uso alcuno, alcun frutto
Indovinar non so.

Sola nel mondo eterna, a cui si volve
Ogni creata cosa,
In te, morte, si posa
Nostra ignuda natura;
Lieta no, ma sicura
Dell' antico dolor . . .
Pero ch' esser beato
Nega ai mortali e nega a' morti il fato.

Abysmal

Abysmal performance,
Your sorrow and sighing will flee away!
But for the first time,
I will bring you joy and gladness with my love.

Angst III

Depression
Low
Emptiness
Abysmal void
Negated will
Cut breath
And lancinated guts
Grating nails
Against the slate
Of damned
Birth

Most magazines have become wallpaper, they're all the same, all the same celebrities. It's really an abysmal time in American journalism right now. But occasionally one story or two will pop out.

Tempest

It’s the summer thunder
and I miss her wonder

As the wool is pulled to
bluest grey gaze

Abysmal and dismal
dervish dust sand

Far too-many days
too-many far days

I keep the windows open

Even echoes
should neither be alone nor
shut out

Explosion

Gorgeous full explosion of paint and as well pleasure,
Against us; fully exact repulsive joke of joker.
I hate themselves for this explosion of joy.
Trick or treatment of abysmal quality.
It is a bang you’re looking for, and I found
It! It is in the way and I want it. It is away now.
Fuller explosions can never measure to this,
And more explosive activity ensues.
Over.

As Bronze May Be Much Beautified

As bronze may be much beautified
By lying in the dark damp soil,
So men who fade in dust of warfare fade
Fairer, and sorrow blooms their soul.

Like pearls which noble women wear
And, tarnishing, awhile confide
Unto the old salt sea to feed,
Many return more lustrous than they were.

But what of them buried profound,
Buried where we can no more find.
Who ( )
Lie dark for ever under abysmal war?
