baseless and that Neozubair.worldpress.comnothing can be known
orcommunicated. It is oftenassociated with extremepessimism and
aradical skepticism thatcondemns existence. A truenihilist would
believe innothing, have noloyalties, and no purposeother than,
perhaps, an www.niilists.net

14. I wrote this tribute to Dal and his expressedphilosophy of
Gastro Esthetic Cannibalism when Iwas 18:To Dal or Gastro Aesthetic
CannibalismMunching on fingers,I assimilate,osmosize sculpture
art;grace metaphors.Those mothsnot butterflies in stomach,feed on
each other,death-head victor,rends gastric-wallsin carnivore
jaws.Lust tastes, wants and screams insatiably more!more!That wind,
of hate, hungers for our warmth,gnaws at corners of cloth-skins,and
sins.Beauty-day consumes beast-ugly-night,
(Salvidordalipaintings.blogspot.com)and moon that sunand we that
son of God? My favorite surrealist artist isTears and rivers
erode-bits of wealth- Salvador Dal and this painting isfrom Earth
and brow; called The Persistence of Memory(both being faces and
planets)leavingonlyrotting fearsome stenchand time.Life in lark
exaltation, death in black-raven shriek-cosmic orality-consuming
all.

lluvia minuciosa. For rain is falling, sudden and minute. Cae o
cay. La lluviaesunacosa Falling or fallen. There is no dispute: Que
sin dudasucede en el pasado. Rain is a thing that happens in the
past. Quien la oyecaer ha recobrado Who hears it fall retrieves a
time that fled El tiempo en que la When an uncanny windfall could
disclose suerteventurosa To him a flower by the name of rose Le
revelunaflorllamadarosa And the perplexing redness of its red. Y el
curioso color del colorado. Falling until it blinds each windowpane
Estalluviaqueciega los cristales Out in a lost suburbia this rain
Alegrar en perdidosarrabales Shall liven black grapes on a vine
inside Las negrasuvas de unaparra en cierto A certain patio that is
no more. A longed-awaited voice through the Patio queya no existe.
La mojada downpour Tarde me trae la voz, la vozdeseada, Is from my
father. He has neverdied. . (A. Z. De mi padre quevuelve y que no
