Poetry for the Masses







This image has made the front pages because it is exciting. Its violence is liberating to contemplate, in a dangerous, Dionysian way




The ancient Greeks mythologised the irrational, savage, destructive side of the human psyche in stories of the wine god Dionysus and his crazed followers.












Down the centuries, pictures of social protest have summoned up those same wine-dark powers




or recognised them in moments when the quiet of the city is turned inside out





and all the suppressed antagonisms of daily life explode in riot.

Who are you,
semi people who wander aimlessly around and around my awaking dreams



























































quem sois
vós semi-pessoas que vagueiam aparentemente sem destino
por dentro e em volta dos meus sonhos



















































apenas memórias-parasita alimentando-se das carcaças sagradas que há muito tempo atrás construí por cima do vazio?
