Three muscateers under the rolling hills and moonlight

 There ought to be a place to go

when you can’t sleep

or you’re tired of getting drunk

and the grass doesn’t work anymore,

and I don’t mean to go

to hash or cocaine,

I mean a place to go to besides

the death that’s waiting

or to a love that doesn’t work

anymore.

there ought to be a place to go

when you can’t sleep

besides to a tv set or to a movie

or to buy a newspaper

or to read a novel.

it’s not having that place to go to

that creates the people now in madhouses

and the suicides.

I suppose what most people do

when there isn’t any place to go

is to go to some place or to something

that hardly satisfies them,

and this ritual tends to sandpaper them

down to where they can somehow continue even

without hope.

those faces you see every day on the streets

were not created

entirely without

hope: be kind to them:

like you

they have not

escaped.

 a 7-foot tall statue of Medusa holding the severed head of Perseus will be installed in Manhattan, across from the NY County Criminal Court, the location of high profile abuse cases including the recent Harvey Weinstein trial.

i never knew this before but Medusa was stalked & raped by Poseidon and then blamed for it, and cursed by Athena with the snake hair & turning people to stone thing. She was banished and then Perseus killed & beheaded her. This statue “inverts the narrative” as a commentary on the Me Too movement. 

It will stand there until April. Look how badass this statue is

Claims day ll

 "ZOE_MOON_DAILY_OCT_12: All will be revealed, the truth will out, nothing shall remain hidden, it's that kind of week. Globally, we'll probably want to buckle up, in our own life there are things that will be surfacing this week that we may have been feeling were true but will now be evident and I suppose it's possible that some of us may be taken by surprise by some of it. We are at the final pivot in the dance of 2020 so it's been an unfolding story. The door is open. This same energy is behind the tremendous learning curve of the year, the meet-up of spiritual, religious, and political beliefs, the reimagining of mediums for artistic talents, the dissolving of our institutions, the personal growth through isolation, the mad tug of war between happiness and depression, romance and distance, magic and media, law and institutions. It's a long list so I won't go through all of it, let's just say we're well acquainted with it and we are turning a corner now in this final alignment today. A good way to know how far we've come since this time last year would be to ask ourselves how our beliefs have evolved and what truths we have learned or secrets we have uncovered on our personal journey. But I know, it's Monday and you may just wish for a bit of an easier start to your first cup of coffee and your week ahead so let's look at some of the lighter stuff for the day. We have a creative mindset that is about getting busy with the kids, our lovers or love life, creative ventures, or recreational pursuits today. There is great flow here involving partners, clients, specialists, reps, and other key players as well as to our Mars Retrograde do-over of a personal nature in the mix. So we should be active and about reworking, releasing or rekindling passions, anger or activities in these areas of life and connecting with others as we do so. There are adjustments when it comes to the boss, parent, or other authority type regarding financial, intimate or third-party needs as well as responsibilities, commitments, endings, or ambitions in the mix. Mercury wants to talk or hears news, has meetings or focuses on sales, writing, interviews, or decisions about loans, inheritance, taxes, insurance, alimony, or other financial interests, or about sexual pursuits, reproductive needs, divorce, mortality, or third-party matters. There are opportunities from this to love, income or beauty interests and being of service, doing the work, health interests, the animals, paperwork, the details, going organic, being holistic, or involving co-workers or hired help. So that's a lot in flow, however do keep in mind that Mercury is at a standstill and readying to go Retrograde tomorrow night so the things we delve into today are definitely 3-parters and will be in play for a bit. If you don't get momentum today, you still have a couple other shots at it. ~Zoe Moon"

Claims day.

 This is the wig of Merit, wife of Kha, found in the tomb of the couple (TT8) in Thebes, present-day Luxor, Egypt. The wig was constructed of human hair and consists of many different hair pieces. It was beautifully made over 3300 years ago! The wig can now be seen in the Museo Egizio, Torino, Italy.

Sound of sunday autumn trees.

Back hills of the pueblo. A rock in the setting sun.

 

Ikea pilgrims.

 i am new york city

here is my brain of hot sauce

my tobacco teeth my

     mattress of bedbug tongue

legs apart     hand on chin

     war on the roof     insults

pointed fingers     pushcarts

     my contraceptives all

look at my pelvis blushing

i am new york city of blood

police and fried pies

     i rub my docks red with grenadine

and jelly madness in a flow of tokay

my huge skull of pigeons

my séance of peeping toms

my plaited ovaries excuse me

this is my grime my thigh of

steelspoons and toothpicks

     i imitate no one

i am new york city

of the brown spit and soft tomatoes

     give me my confetti of flesh

my marquee of false nipples

     my sideshow of open beaks

in my nose of soot

     in my ox bled eyes

in my ear of saturday night specials

i eat ha ha     hee hee and ho ho

i am new york city

never-change-never-sleep-never-melt

     my shoes are incognito

cadavers grow from my goatee

     look i sparkle with shit with wishbones

my nickname is glue-me

Take my face of stink bombs

my star spangled banner of hot dogs

take my beer can junta

my reptilian ass of footprints

and approach me through life

approach me through death

approach me through my widow’s peak

through my split ends my

asthmatic laugh approach me

through my wash rag

half ankle     half elbow

massage me with your camphor tears

salute the patina and concrete

of my rat tail wig

face up     face down

piss into the bite of our handshake

i am new york city

     my skillet-head friend

my fat-bellied comrade

     citizens

        break wind with me
