Her Nickname Is Messiah

from Naked Poetry · host Adele Elysée

Wandering to my morning classes, I wonder if my ruins would look different than they would have yesterday. Is this fair? I think to myself and the sun blazed ground–around here nothing you love comes back. Back to back to wall–too close to call you friend too bashful to call you lover. That is this. I’ve had this much. It is two o’clock and I think it is a sunday. I tell the animal to calm down that is outside my window. She doesn’t say much but when she does I write it down. Her nickname is messiah. A goddess gift from a cloud filled with her own reign she lit her own throne on fire–and walked away nameless. Refusing that she was related to anything but God. That spirit. That factor. She folds her arms into themselves and sleeps.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) The History of China Podcast Ibnul Jaif Farabi / Light Knot Studios What does the world's oldest continuous civilization, with over 3,000 years of recorded history, have to teach us about power, philosophy, innovation, and human nature?
