happy hamlet's day

..the aesthetic overlapping..of the blue over the red!..

..a perfectly unfamiliear face in a perfectly familiar nook..

..a perfect manifestation..of a bluish ambition..a bloody moment of perfection..a perfect chance for proliferation..

..imposition of matters over the utterances of perfected procrastination..and for sure a perfect procrastination it was..

a christ for me and a third christ to make me his destiny

..and as for the evening i would be alone,surrounded by darkness and silence:and in that moment of supreme tenderness i would be transfigured..i would be 'transfigured'..weakness and timidity and inexperience would fall from me in that 'magic moment'!..

..and there would be a hamlet,the eternal priest of imagination..he would be to make you feel the momentum of terrible breathing..and of my profane baptism..and of the thoughts that are going to change the tears with utmost inability---the most gracious inability of existence..

..and i would be there to make you exist 'without you' 'tomorrow,tomorrow and tomorrow' without failing..

i would pretend to be a hamlet
for i am hamlet

and hamlet is me..

..and i would be your hamlet to console you with his words..for he is the progenitor of our species..

..there is enough excuse to declare the brazen death of time for i can not tolerate you to tolerate these my words;

"time was,time is but time will no longer be"

..but before that i must reincarnate 'me' to be cadence of 'Him'-the brightest of all angels..

..salvation awaits hamlet..as it does you and me..

..so, i wish you "a very happy hamlet's day"
