He was placed at the inn till the vessel was ready.
Supposing himself deserted and not knowing why
he fell into a state of complete stupefaction.
Secreting himself in the loft and stretching out on the boards
he refused all sustenance.
Within a few days in this state death terminated his sufferings.
They excavated him in a lonely grave in a rabbit warren twenty yards from the sea.
Whither they conveyed his remains without coffin or bier covered only with the clothes in which he died.

What use is there in calling a day a name or thinking of it as anything anything but weather?
You know what time of year it is when the timothy blooms. You know its morning when the sun comes up. You can say to yourself I’m just a body, a body that thinks and talks and seems to want its life.
Not event knowing what you’re waiting for, that you’re waiting at all.
If she’d only known then comfort was coming just there on the stoop, in the moonlight licking tears.

Memory

Cardiac muscle fibres are objects
but the heartbeat they generate is a physiological event, a collective flutter that propels life
but has no mass and occupies no space.
Memories are the heartbeats of the nervous system, a bodily process produced by physical objects,
but as immaterial as the soul.
Not carved in solid rock but traced on a sand dune.
Memory collects the countless phenomena of our existence
into a single whole. A memory is not a thing.
As our bodies would be scattered into the dust of atoms if they were not held by the attraction of matter,
so our consciousness would break in as many fragments as we’ve lived seconds
but for the binding force of memory.

It was as if she had a murderous needle somewhere in her lungs and by breathing carefully she could avoid feeling it.
But every once in a while she had to take a deep breath and it was still there.

Deep Cabaret Lancaster, UK
Deep Cabaret is the culmination of bandleader Steve Lewis' life's work: to make a band that curates all the musics that fascinate him - jazz, improv, African, folk and leftfield pop. To use that music to set fragments of text taken from novels, journalism, spiritual and other texts that have interesting things to say about being human. ... more
