I am Theodoros the poet who could not read or write

Leonardos, I am no longer lonely. I will accept your friendship now if you can say something true about me. That is correct, I had a red cardigan sweater which I used to wear in the evenings. The years have brought us together. Straighten your seat back. You are landing in Vienna where I killed myself in nineteen sixty-two.

A sip of wine, a cigarette, and then it's time to go I tidied up the kitchenette. I tuned the old banjo. I'm wanted at the traffic-jam. They're saving me a seat. I'm what I am, and what i am, is back on Boogie Street.

我经常想起你 当我一个人躺在 房间里张着 嘴而遥控器 掉在床上的什么地方

禅宗的崩塌——“我何必寻求开悟？”——悖论成为真理

The Collapse Of Zen When I can wedge my face into the place and struggle with my breathing as she brings her eager fingers down to separate herself, to help me use my whole mouth against her hungriness, her most private of hungers - why should I want to be enlightened? Is there something that I missed? Have I forgotten yesterday's mosquito or tomorrow's hungry ghost? When I can roam this hill with a kn...

Gravity I never tried to see your face, Nor did I want to know The details of some lower place Where I would have to go. But love is strong as gravity, And everyone must fall. At first it's from the apple tree, And then the western wall. At first it's from the apple tree, And then the western wall. And then from you and then from me And then from one and all 万有引力 我从没想过要看你的脸， 我也不想知道 那个我必将要去的 地下某处的细节。 但爱像万有引力一般强劲，...

The Letters You never liked to get The letters that I sent. But now you've got the gist Of what my letters meant. You're reading them again, The ones you didn't burn. You press them to your lips, My pages of concern. I said there'd been a flood. I said there's nothing left. I hoped that you would come. I gave you my address. Your story was so long, The plot was so intense, It took you years to cross The lines of self-defense. The wounded forms appear: the loss,...

There For You When it all went down And the pain came through I get it now I was there for you Don't ask me how I know it's true I get it now I was there for you I make my plans Like I always do But when I look back I was there for you I walk the streets Like I used to do And I freeze with fear But I'm there for you I see my life In full review It was never me It was always you You sent me here You sent me there Breaking things I can't repair Makin...

When I Went Out When I went out to tell her The love that can't be told She hid in themes of marble And deep reliefs of gold When I caught her in the flesh And floated on her hips Her bosom was a fishing net To harvest infant lips A soft dismissal in hear gaze And I was more than free But took a while to undertake my full transparency Ages since I went to look Or she would think to hide Torn the cover torn the book The stories all untied But someone made of thread...

I Wrote For Love I wrote for love. Then I wrote for money. With someone like me it's the same thing. - 1975 我为爱而写 我为爱而写。 接着我为钱而写。 对于像我这样的人 这是一回事。 ——1975
