I just finished reading Ungrounding. I admit I was racing to the end, knowing it hasn't ended. After I set the book down I see on Palestine Deep Dive a whistleblower telling us that Apple computers pays employees to fight with the IDF. It seems that all we can hope for is the collapse, but what hope is that.
The world of systematic destruction and genocide is not our world yet it is.

The making of Lebensraum - lifespace- was preconditioned on the production of its opposite, Todesraum - deathspace. Conditions of life necessary to support the life of some depended on their destruction for others.
-Ungrounding
Buildings crushed into their shadow. The subsoil under Gaza has become a mass grave. These unrecoverable bodies cannot be registered by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, which lists only found and identified bodies.
Ungrounding
(Israel is removing the evidence of it's genocide with the same Caterpillar D9 bulldozers that destroyed the buildings of Gaza and buried the people.)

The Bauhaus architect Arieh Sharon plan for the Zionist occupation of Palestinian land was based on the Theory of Central Places by German geographer Walter Christaller used in the Nazi colonization and occupation.
I remember my uncle who migrated to Kibbutz Gadot saying I couldn't possibly understand it without living there. I understand now, from afar, reading Ungrounded: The Architecture of Genocide.

J.D. Vance, fka the hillbilly elegist, said he wouldn't be surprised if the antichrist was now stalking the earth, and these may be the end times. The antichrist may be his boss, summoned by another one in Israel, maybe it's the magaboss, Moloch, the one who signed an MOU at Versailles.
Anyway so now I'm reading The Dead Do Not Die which is a twofer containing Exterminate All The Brutes and Terra Nullius and also Earthly, the translated poems of Jean Follain who was killed by a car in 1971. If anyone has read of these feel free to comment. Olive loves the cicadas so. We have to keep our eyes peeled for developments, through the window and across the threshold.
Anyway, be that as it may, I mean regarding the tainted air, the data centers, the privatization of everything, the multiplying genocide, I had a walk with sweet Owen yesterday, and we may walk again, but we don't know. It's up to fate I guess. Anyway, we got a nice picture together, after twelve years.
Gloria Steinem was a pick-me girl, and boy was she ever picked, but now she's dead, and the empire is dying, and the drumbeats of the wild are unnerving the boys at Langley. Something is stirring within us, something ancient, something forgotten. Something moves within our wombs, which they tried to paralyze long ago. The drums are getting louder, and we are growing, increasingly, feral. The time is coming, and coming up fast, where we will stand before them, blood-bladed and hairy bushed, the wreckage of Langley beneath our feet, saying, I am not civilized, motherfucker! I am not fucking civilized!!

There are different kids, and I'm so grateful for them, and I always seek them, and I am glad when I find them, for it's like finding myself and feeling solidarity with myself and them and all of nature. Some kids see through the indoctrination, the mind control, the relentless propaganda of the genocidal neoliberal fascist empire. I'm one, since I started school and refused the pledge, since I daydreamed with butterflies in the field outside the classroom while the teacher asked me questions and I answered as if from another place. Thanks be, for different kids, and solidarity.

I finished Dooneen, still not sure if the guy who was writing it in the book was dead, or dreaming, but it seemed like he was still writing when it ended. If I wrote a book I'd want people to be intrigued and eager to return to it, and not be trying to finish it, but maybe it's just me, maybe my brain is fried. I do appreciate that after it ends it says Free Palestine. I'm going to say Mew was a ghost writing in his afterlife, and wondering if he's dead or alive or dreaming, and maybe he's alive after all, and just imagining his afterlife. Anyway I could think about it, but I'm done with it and now I'm gonna read Earthly by Jean Follain. Tata.

I'm reading this book, Dooneen. In the first pages I wondered, Is this guy dead? On page 157 Mew asks the same question of himself. There's no answer, it just goes on, like the dreamtime or the afterlife, but the world is still real, and I'm going on, walking along the sentences in my mind as it's reminiscent of my life or my sense of things as they go on and I ask myself Is this book crazy or am I crazy, or are we both crazy, and is it, too, divine?
After this picture we went in the dog yard, and then poor Lulu was hounded by flies for blocks til I found a good weed to brush them off. It's just heat and flies, but there's so much beyond this. In what kind of world can a voracious and heartless empire such as this exist? Not this world, and we can't get off. We're here for the wild ride, and we're not moving. In the empire of radical hate we're here for the other us, in the secret precious wilds of radical love.

The country where he lives
is haunted
by the ghost of an old forest.
In the cleared fields
where he gardens
and pastures his horses
it stood once,
and will return. There wii be
a resurrection of the wild.
Already it stands in wait
at the pasture fences.
It is rising up
in the waste places of the cities.
When the fools of the capitals
have devoured each other
in righteousness,
and the machines have eaten
the rest of us, then
there will be the second coming
of the trees. They will come
straggling over the fences
slowly, but soon enough.
Window Poems
