A postcard from The Here To Go Show, Dublin, September-October, 1992, showing an untitled calligraphic work by Brion Gysin on recto.
On verso is a poem from Ira Cohen entitled "Ransom Note for Brion Gysin":
Inside the Phantom Bubble
a shrunken city is held suspended
by magnetic grapples
in a state of perpetual coma
Could he then, by opening spirit
a shrunken city is held suspended
by magnetic grapples
in a state of perpetual coma
Could he then, by opening spirit
locks,
escape to the very edge of
escape to the very edge of
futility???
Drops of water run down
a timeless vacuum, goldenshocks
of white sliding mercury
turning from silk
Drops of water run down
a timeless vacuum, goldenshocks
of white sliding mercury
turning from silk
on the tail
of unkept wishes
Under eyelids there is only the wall
of unkept wishes
Under eyelids there is only the wall
of silence
He flickers through mysteries,
turning snowy diadems to fantasy
He flickers through mysteries,
turning snowy diadems to fantasy
w/ gold
This man is forever passing,
he sees earth's image become shadow,
this man who sleeps,
GLOWING!
All within, we rise.
Showers of stars sparkle everywhere
A procession of strange hunchbacks
he sees earth's image become shadow,
this man who sleeps,
GLOWING!
All within, we rise.
Showers of stars sparkle everywhere
A procession of strange hunchbacks
& dwarves,
A windless calm
Head thrown back,
eyes upward,
whispered moment of immortality.
A windless calm
Head thrown back,
eyes upward,
whispered moment of immortality.
