1971, 2016, 5*, amplification, Bowie, clothes, concert, green, identity, love, naked, pose, ritual, self, smile, sound
there is really very little to cast
`cept the quiet and clothèd pose
with primal-screech response
dampened in amplified arc, which
I shall wear with naked torso
paraded along the auditorium-intimate,
heightening register drawing up
the flexèd leer, green and sickly, in its
new-found love
I cried sadly, for a love I could not obey; summoned up through the dread rituals of Shadow Man, 1971; Star, 1971; Velvet Goldmine, 1971; Sweet Head, 1971
Read the collected movements in David Bowie: Movements in Suite Major

Bowie & identity wormhole: cut while you’re ahead/cut while you’re a thread – poewieview #35
green wormhole: magnificent salad
love wormhole: moment
smile wormhole: the 19th century
sound wormhole: hello, luvvey, do you want a cup of tea?
Loved it; but in the age of the “selfie” the “auditorium-intimate” is all-to-often anything but.
