A GREAT SURPRISE IS A SNOWFALL IN HELL


... because Orfeo having transgressed the law 
to rescue Eurydice in journey to the depths 
of the underworld immersed in the dark

... has crossed the lake of memory of cold waters, 
and his arrival announces a snowfall 
the notes of his lyre in falling flakes.

LOVE IS TO LOOK…


Love is to look into the one in front
and discover astonished the message 
"I'm you", "you are me" ... oh how exciting
the bridges to each other is to walk!

then being conscious that behind the forms
—yours and mine apparently much different—
there is a high calling identity that asks
to join our mouths, our bodies, our souls:

fly high and high, so very steep afar
to timeless time, to the gardens beyond
where we were as a unit, there abaft
all love expressions, melted in pure silence.

THE RED STONE


In the ancient city the “Red Stone” was found,
it had skulls as bricks, dry blood as mortar;
a holy totem was to the tribes there.

ETHIOPIAN AURIGA


As a light that advances in the desert
leaving behind the clouds of dust the chariot
rises in progress trough the mist of the dunes,
like a divine ray is your appearance; 
an instrument of some arcane punishment.

Leaving aside the freshness of the oasis,
in front in heaven in flight a pair of pigeons 
guides the way to the forsaken tower.

ILLUSION AND REALITY IN DETACHMENT

"... I would say to the moment: 
remain, you're so beautiful"
- Fausto / JW Goethe -


On this day I remember my infancy 
in that magical time of school holidays
in Salamanca, late fifties of past century;
was the year-long waited occasion
of Epiphany when children receive presents in Spain.

The big family under the matriarch,
the imposing gothic dining room
with the wide chimney coated in walnut,
and its scent, characteristic odor;
the frieze of the octogonal perimeter, 
high leaded windows with historical symbols, 
the huge long table and the red velvet chairs…
was theater of the gathering for Christmas.

The dining room, that enchanted space, 
was closed "with seven locks" this morning
In which the children waked very early 
to warn grandmother and aunts
that the Kings perhaps have come already.

They had to appease our impatience impulses:
"wait for the rest to come down here all;
meanwhile you have already chocolate
and croutons: first do have breakfast
and after that, we will open the door. "

"Besides, I do not know for sure if Kings have come;
—a shadow of sadness were on our eyebrows
that moved grandmother to change the speech—
… thought I think so because someone has taken
the whole nougat that had been provided 
and the champagne; not even just a drop!,
there is no water left in the basins:
what thirsty camels must have brought!

... and also look, don’t you smell of incense?; 
it is indeed unequivocal sign 
that they've been round here
apart some news that people talk about
of caravans treading the neighborhood."

With these and other such "reliable" data
one almost could see them in flesh and blood 
cladded in their strange exotic garments 
bearing the gifts carried by entourages.

"But still not that heavy guy here present!;
we must go up to pull him from the bed,
throw him sawdust taken from the crib
and put under his pillow a shepherd or a cow... "

After a lapse that seemed to us eternal,
uncles, aunts, grandmother, friends and parents
and of course our noisy bunch of children  
were all assembled in front the closed door:
"who can this open?" but "where is then the key?" ...

What a thrill !, the mystery had us
taken upon his great exotic wings
in a magical and fascinating moment;
Oh yes "you're so beautiful"! , "but please do not stop!".

… and the doors opened -error- to heartbreak:
a great illusion while parcels were unpack
and contents seemed to match the expectations 
then a short time playing with the games;
and life went on, inexorable fate
to grow and thus unravel mysteries.

But these myths of childhood homeland,
layed the foundation of the entire development
to be man and look for other toys
and discard them moreover in detachment.

That was the lesson that taught the "day of Kings":
to make patent with overwhelming intensity
what is happiness and that is fully possible,
but remove shortly from the object the spell;
finally realizing that nothing can give me
the fullness that I am, moreover
I am the only one who put & withdraw
the bliss conveyed by the forms
and is my mind who manipulates the game

... and so stay at the end with the source
from which arrises all the joy and beauty:
my own independent identity no less,
freed from bondages to which I submit:
external things, people or circumstances ...
to be now lived directly from the bottom
where there is joy without motive at all.

THE PILOT, THE DEVIL AND THE DEATH

Feel God even is for eight minutes,
master and lord of lives and destinies:
between my fingers having the life or death
of passengers entrusted to my care.

Alone in cockpit of Airbus 320,
I don´t unlock the door to enjoy the show
all by myself in this bright spring morning
where its rebirth enhances the contrast
to what is soon to come in those snowy mountains
to us approaching with sure and slow pace

... more and more, I an angel of death
to the encounter flying with my wings;
Germanic wings attracted to the impossible
towards a world of mechanical perfection
of orderly and accurate discipline that works
with the beauty and coldness of the engines,
with the beauty and coldness in those cliffs

... where the air is purer to the super-man
—his proper abode is in the peaks—
o Zarathustra! admired Zarathustra
which thus spoke through Nietzsche in the book:
to stay away from mob and the masses
as is the passage today I lead to doom.

The number does not matter,
the weak will never count
in front of the will of the great man
as in the mythical Germany of the Führer
which was also based on the sacrifice
of millions of people in his sake.

Desist miscreants to bang the cabin door,
let me enjoy these moments so special:
the privilege of a supreme will
in company of the devil and of death
—as in the genial engraving of Durero—
along the road that leads towards the chasm.

Yes the devil, he is my co-pilot
forever by my side since I was young,
putting in me this uncontrolled passion
for flying to join him as an angel
in the fatal plunge from the heights
while suggesting to me those weird ideas
of holocaust so much exciting me
sacrificing the herds to the dammed name
exhilarating in a huge bath of blood
and then sinking again into depression.

I took this decision for if they discover
what has been diagnosed of my mind,
for sure they would cut my wings
and I could never for rest of days to come
return to this beautiful skies and to these clouds
and of course that means it will be hell:
the anodyne of everyday life
relegated to bureaucratic jobs,
dropped and finally retired,
stuck on Earth plunged among the mass.

As Mephisto had proposed to me
I have to sign the pact with blood,
not only mine, also of innocents;
he has promised to give me my own wings:
those of a world-renowned reputation
so that I shall have eternal youth
never dying in the mouths of men;
in return he will take care of my soul
to accompany him to the abyss in the fall.

I push the button in the control panel
that initiates the gradual descent.

I conduct them to the sacrificial death
imperative in order to fly free
and in homage to this my strange ego;
after all what cost is to the orb
such common people, returning from vacation
or going to a college in exchange
where they teach merely trifles
and shit they say it is democracy.

Do they know of so many subtleties
that assault in a tormented soul
craving the ideal, searching the impossible
forever seeked by the great Germania:
that of our symphonic music,
of our idealistic philosophy,
of forceful and solid science,
the heroism of the teutonic knight...

As a child I always admired those pilots
who crashed on the enemies their planes;
I wanted to emulate —now I finally will do it—
the heroism of those kamikazes,
"divine wind", encourages the word;
"Gottlicher Wind" in unsere deutsche Sprache.

No, I will not answer impertinences
from radar towers that are requiring me.

The "blond beast" we carry in genes
of Aryan race, that of the ancient Greeks,
not these from now -are all half Turks-
and other defiled Mediterraneans
plus those Moors, Americans, Arabs...
(of all I have a sample among the passage)
and the Jews, surely there are a few
for they seem an inevitable plague.

All those screams sound merely as murmur,
come from the crew outside who begs to me;
I barely hear all the imprecations
as I have in my earphones some Wagner's music
as it is the "Ride of Valkyries"
the right background to match this trance.

You are sheep, you are flock, you are herd,
merely servers, only slaves
that a pharaoh needs in the hecatomb
to die but dying being courted
and keep an eye on my eternal sleep
inside the tomb that are those pyramids
of such silent and magnificent mountains,
forever associated to my name
immortal now entering Olympus
of the Alps, to its legend attached
...

Signed -with blood-
Andreas Gunter Lubitz.

TRIBUTE TO THOMAS WILLIAM BELTON


The meadow of that sacred resting place
who picked from her such agonizing cries
and the flow of the bleeding wound from him,
pious turned both into flowers to the slab...
