Re: Uisge Beatha
Thanks Tristan. I'll have a think about L1. I quite like the juxtaposition of water/burn for a number of reasons, including irony, but I don't have to use the translation.

Uisge Beatha
This water of life burns a malted mind. I am this grain. To curse a day, and grind these hours, smell my breath and know my night. Its whispered grip will blur the cliche light, retire this wrinkled reason, find deep sleep. No dreams for me. I drink and drink it neat. Such steeping, toasting, mashin...

Cheers. Buddhism is one interpretation. Personally, I prefer oblivion.

Re: That Old Familiar
Nah, it is about cash (not your right back), and which day of the week to play (and pick up injuries), and players get better by playing better players (I know all the clichés...particular hates... reference to heroes and 'putting his body on the line').

Re: That Old Familiar
Interesting Ray (triggered a thought of the 'other' poster here). Agree, identity is not a singular, though I say this without thinking about the splits in psychology. Like how you play with distancing here, beginning with that fun/menacing opening line. eulogies for boozers reassigned as mosques ke...

Re: Things That Won't Stop Until They Stop
Things That Won’t Stop Until They Stop My heart won’t stop doing the jitterbug. I’m not sure why it’s so much alive, constantly moving like a hyperactive child. This is my old age, time to relax, so why is part of me always at a dance? It needs to conserve itself for important things, like when tha...
