a portion of mishimas suicide note

"then you have no future. you will never be saved. it is the end. the constitution will remain forever. you are finished. you are unconstitutional. listen. you are unconstitutional. the jieitai is unconstitutional. you are all unconstitutional. i salute the emperor. tenno heika banzai."

as of late i am re obsessed with yukio mishima. it is a little embarrassing to revert to where one once was, but my commitment to reading him is easily twice what it was. in 2005 i first stumbled across confessions of a mask at a laundry mat in toronto. it feels so strange to be so swept away by the beauty, nihilism and romanticism of a right wing lunatic but maybe it is important to be pummeled and thoroughly confused by your connection to another person?

lakeside

we help each other out of our shirts and rub out the burns on our backs
the rotting on my skin fade blue and yellow
the lines marked into your arm curve like lace
bleach them in the sun until we can no longer remember how long, how deep, how far
let your feet touch my face and it will lead to water
and goodness swells in water
