AURAL PLEASURE - The Poetry of Brenda Clews
Lyrics
A poem on poetry. Surreal, with an interweaving love poem.
The first writing ever discovered is of accounts, financial dealings. Not myth, or poetry:
"First our bodies; then our souls.
I owe you; you owe me; they owe us; we owe them."
History - the Rossetta Stone, the key to reading the hieroglyphics of Ancient Egyptian language. Translation.
How we translate each other.
The strange and mystical magic of Ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses, their stately and regal motion, on a barge in the landscape of our surreal dreams:
"Or why the barge transporting
stone still gods with the heads of
falcons
wearing Khonsu headdresses,
full moons on crescent moons,
is heaped with purple
lotuses.
Khonsu
great snake who
fertilizes the
cosmic egg.
Sometimes."
