liberate my inner liberace: song cycle and reflection on LIBERACE PRAISES THE BIGBANG

"Want the change. Be inspired by the flame

where everything shines as it disappears…"

--Rainer Maria Rilke (2005), Sonnets to Orpheus, Part 2, XIII, p. 117

Translated by Anita Barrows & Joanna Macy 

[cycles are interposing interweaving simultaneously chanted incanted shimmied and shaking]

cycle 1:

big as a rainbow dinosaur

soaring with sunset wings

blurred by galaxies on fire

big as a rainbow dinosaur

cycle 2 (syncopation):

shake. rattle with the razzle-dazzle.

shake. rattle with the razzle-dazzle.

cycle 3 (syncopation):

glitz. glam. glamour with the glitter.

glitz. glam. glamour with the glitter.

cycle 1 (variant – down deep):

big as a rainbow dinosaur

big as a rainbow dinosaur

reflection:

Since we are part of the explosion of all-matter into the enormous enhugening universe which is scale upon scale of shimmering creating massive explosioning sparkling starshining creativity, it’s no wonder we’re drawn to glitter rainbow plumage and starshine. It’s how Einstein, eye shadow, Cinderella, Liberace, KISS, “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” Rilke, bridesmaids, Cher, dew-drenched webs and roses, disco balls, and the Milky Way (along with you and i) all celebrate the bigbang. 

No shame champagne ~ ( invitation to read, click and gyrate )

this unconcsious host of Self

rolling and boiling off the scum

no shame... 

this abundantly full bottomed heart

Liberace’s Libertine Libretto

 

Prompt: Liberace Poem

Get on your flamenco, your rhinestones, your swag. Liberate your inner Liberace...

In the heat of summer, during the party days of sunshine, go wild and write festooned with glitter, sparkle, and shine. Night fever? Go for it.

 What is wild in you, that wants to dance and croon? Write from that place.

 ...or...

 Smile for five minutes without stopping, then write.

 ...or...

Disco dance for 10 minutes (glitter globe optional but good), then write a poem.

Praise, exhort, cavort! Write from your inner flame, and welcome to the auspicious circle of flowing frolicking creativity....
