Poem d'or

"Because she arrives,
vibrant,
over and over
again; we
are at the beginning
of a new history,
or rather a process
of becoming
in which several
histories
intersect with
one another.
As a subject for
history, woman
always occurs
simultaneously
in several places.
(In woman,
personal history
blends together
with the history
of all women,
as well as national
and world history.)"
--Helene Cixous, quoted in Bhanu Kapil's
The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers

Cixous is wonderfully poetic so this post captures her so well. She writes well about theater and photography, too - what a sexy sunrise-lit photo you pair with her words.
Ever Be Free
Vibrant at the beginning
Feminine is everywhere
Strangers passing in the night
Oh … We love this dual prayer
She arrives at the moment
With LOVE everywhere
Old friends meet in the night
Oh … We Love this dual prayer
We meet in the “now”
An “Ocean” exists in the center of the heart
Splinter the globe of the light from plane to plane
To rebuild the “ALL” most important part.
Mind within “All”
With center pushing stout
Please hold your mind clear
While we pass form …. inside / out
More lost than “ever”
Oh … What shall I “be”
Indecision makes one wait
From decisions made to “Ever be free”
