This is from a work titled "the rosemary amethyst"  (2010)

the cinema - (e)scape : the story-scope : the nickel-odeon

the beginning – simple :

a boy - a city – a bicycle - a camper – a broom closet

: a question of union – a style of meditation – a plot ? 

  a fairy’s tail

 

too many questions...

 

une histoire of becoming... an artista - of the writing and the making 

of cinema – the scenes of how my life should have been – ‘the’ life

 should have been – ‘all’ life should have been - should be - simple  --- 

‘i’ – the scene of the lifetron : the scene of the imaginarium : the 

scene of the ultimatium… 

 

a tiny girl steps from behind the painting and waxes poetic :

  and rhapsodizes in gold

a man with a fedora and cigarette pulls out a recorder :

  and soliloquies in copper

a beautiful woman wraps me in her scarf :

  and spirit-carries in silver

 

the artist moves on… and out… (and east)


a book about a film about a book about a boy (who would be king)
a heartbreaking work of staggering cinema - where the dream happens

and then it is over and done.  capiche ?

 

the moments are precious – precise - each holding the full lot of truth  

: i see my-self searching out this tiny bit of truth

  of moments on moments

until all collide into that one final moment.

 

o, may i never forget to dream that moment of illumination

 

 

i reexamine the immediate to-do list:  vintage hand-made angel wings – 

examination chair wired within the light fantastic – chiropractor 

viewing eye…

This is from the same work titled "the rosemary amethyst" (2010)

 

i find myself in bed with sparkling-white sheets
   crisp – whiteness and clean-ness

   the scent of perfect sun

     curtains billow and glow
     from unmistakable light
     - surrounding from all sides

     - outside in

 i hesitate to talk of heaven
 yet the symphony plays on
   - breath has turned (in)to God – at:men to at:man
   - the dispeller of darkness stands before me
   we are complete synchrony
   in our silence
i have the habit

   to leave him little yellow flowers

   that I find poking up through the weeds
he exchanges me the gentle voice
   the one searched out

   (this gentle mixed with a subtle ferocity)
it is in the shape of the world book atlas
    - with the inside hollowed out

    - making it more of a box
      than a book
      or a voice

 

within I find a note which reads :

    

       babu,

         

             Truth is Love

             Love is Truth

             search out that which lies behind the uvula

         

             the modern mona lisa can be found

             in your 5 sets of 12
