Geert Buelens

1971 / Duffel

Lament

The associated textile mills en marche
Lament
The aorta & the arse & the hole
Lament
The moaning of the flesh & the marsh
Lament
The recycled overdose & the crack
Lament
The magpie on the gallows & the grin
Lament
The quadrature of the miracle & the shin
Lament
The high pressure on the system & the magnet
Lament
The drag of the blood & the prophet
Lament
The drumroll of the rhythm & the roof
Lament
The routine of the beat & the baton
Lament
The sickening of the age & of the game
Lament
The coalition of the yawn & of the hype
Lament
It's the weighing of the many & of the more
It's the mystery of the propulsion of the oar
It's the spectacle, the gala, the furore
It's the dogma, the axiom and the law
The shrinking of the cloth & of the seam
Lament
The downsizing of fat & the betrayal
Lament
The advice of the plug & of the valve
Lament
The rise of the interest-rate and the sale,
Lament
The broken deal, the failure, the design
Lament
The saving of power, the guts, the jeer
Lament
It is the cowardice & the courage, the heroics
It is the mirror image of these mosaics
It is a drama without gods or public
It is the canker, the conception, the colic
