Angelhead (not like my brother)
Angelhead (not like my brother)
My brother saw the face of God. You never recover from a trauma like that. He was sixteen, shouting for help in the darkness of his room in our new suburban home. I was ten. I stood watching from his doorway, still, eyes cinched up tight as seams, trying to make out his writhing shape. I saw for myself. I didn’t see God, of course, but I saw my brother seeing God; I saw how petrified he was, how convinced. I knew, still know, that he saw, in some form, His or Her or Its face. It was in the window, a part of the night, shimmering over our neighborhood of new construction sites—clear plastic stapled to boards and waving in the night breeze, tire-tracked mud, portable toilets.
Blake saw angles in trees. Thoreau imagined the possibility of divinity, the sublime, in a “knot-hole.” Whitman saw God in the salivating mouth of a soldier’s bullet hole. I used to watch a man who lived on the streets of San Luis Obispo, California who would spend hours shouting “Jesus” while in paroxysms, drooling, his fly open.
But they didn’t see Him. None of them.
Not like my brother.
The Story of an Artist (Obscured by Clouds)
The Story of an Artist (Obscured by Clouds)
listen up and i'll tell a story about an artist growing old
some would try for fame and glory, others aren't so bold
everyone in friends and family saying "hey get a job
why do you do that only, why are you so odd"?
"we dont really like what you do, we dont think anyone ever will
it's a problem that you have and this problem's made you ill"
the artist walks alone, someone says behind his back
"got his gall to call himself that, he doesn't even know where he's at"
the artist walks among the flowers appreciating the sun
he does this all his waking hours, but is it really so wrong
they sit in front of their tv saying "hey this is fun"
they laugh at the artist saying "he doesn't know how to have fun"
the best things in life are truly free, singing birds and laughing bees
you got me wrong says he, the sun don't shine in your tv
listen up and i'll tell a story about an artist growing old
some would try for fame and glory, others just like to watch the world.
