the poetry of navigation


the mind hammered

the mind made of stars

(peasants & wanderers & hermits)

we cover ourselves with forest

the sacred a field




remake


the house the circle the hours
into a country of old books


sometimes the pieces need to be
gathered, rearranged in the silence




taping the book together


past present thought memory now
branches wind water light
precisely listening&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp  the owl&nbsp&nbsp  the bear




she contemplates The Dictionary of Modern Painting


*

distracted wisdom truth
molecules of paint
or a winter storm

particles of tradition timeless


*

…image and symbol, direct perception and ideal interpretation


*

within the margins
fragments of constraints
pencil currents

transitional minnows


*

Nevertheless, there is a strange contradiction…


*

the words—
leaves, flowers
adapt to the sun or moon




variation


pain

beauty

order

waves

in wings


concrete

concepts

calculations


the paths

the sanctuary

Tower by the Sea
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp  Klee




prelude


*

(hand-painted)

the orange nasturtium & the narwhal


prelude


*

fugue of the elements

(hand-painted)
