The Soul of a Puppet

today was the day
golden warmth whispered through the grey city
and vibrancy walked the streets

blossomed

2010-04-23T16:56:00.000-07:00

cherry blossoms drop their petals on my doorstep
the street lined with spring snow
i want to cut my hair
i remember the smell of yours
the locks washed only with water
the smell of bark lingers on the lungs
i pull the gray hairs out but they keep coming back
i brush all the locks out and say every week i am going to the hairdresser
but cannot and drop a cherry

You didn't have a black n white cat or a red van
YOU are australian...
The relative of a FREEMAN who walked from house to house to deliver the mail with his trolley not behind but proudly in front.
Now there are no more personal deliveries
Your kindness and jolly behaviour has gone to rest.
But the infatuated feelings you had with bonfires,aliens and books over cups of teas in Sydenham became alight in my mind. You were not a pyromaniac but a controlled soul of the inner fire.. always respondent to a need for discovery, a discovery we also found.
you delivered.

Building Blocks

sometimes the building block has been cut differently and does not fit within the set however it reveals solidarity, it finds another way and own connections amongst them, even with the one they were once upon a time made for. niches are discovered.

To My Nana

2009-09-03T17:21:00.000-07:00

the woman i have always known to be the strength
i recall so many wonderful memories
days spent in magical parks or the world of fishing,
the cousins always being one with the young uncles;
i look at you and every day i can sit lucky to be a present in this world
I LOVE YOU! 75 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

we arrive and we realise we are special
there is not a war/word or a sound other than peacefulness.
a problem, is my problem to be no problem.
i sit in the bath waiting for the train to arrive

Black Monday

2009-05-11T13:53:00.000-07:00

Today I woke up in a black hole and I have not been able to shake off it's darkness.
Tomorrow I hope to wake up on a rainbow.

Fools Day !

2009-04-03T06:19:00.001-07:00

Police protect bankers and white collar crime. Fools!
World leaders attend the G20 summit in private jets, helicopters and limosines, to inform the public decisions have been agreed between all parties on agreements made prior to the conference. Fools!
A drain on environmental resources, a question of too much police resources.
Journalists and newspapers intimate violence and chaos by protesters across the city. Fools!
Protesters and local squatters arrested under the powers of terrorist laws; the crime being their location.
Freedom of speech deemed to be an act of crime. Fools!

March

2009-04-03T04:44:00.000-07:00

One of the busiest month's of the year.
Started with a visit from the ladybird; doors closed and windows opened.
International Women's Day celebrated on the 8th. Marches through the city the day before.
St Patricks Day on the 17th; the religious occasion lost to Guiness who were celebrating 250 years. Those wandering Green Park were provided with flyers entitling one to a free pint. That did not stop us returning to different distributors and finding flyers on the street. We ended at 3.
The 20th, Vernal Equinox, commencement of Spring. Day and night are of equal length. A breath of fresh air swoops in planting seeds of warmth and happiness.
And many birthdays or cumpleanos feliz to Fran, Jason, Montse, Martha, Marysia and Jodie.

The Ladybird and Vulture

2009-02-24T15:29:00.000-08:00

This encounter occurred mid -March; almost one year ago whilst visiting an old home town of mine. It has remained with me for all this time and because of a possible upcoming visit from the Ladybird I continue to be reminded.

Biripi woman says to the vulture "you airy fairy hippy".
Biripi woman tells the vulture "you need to protect the ladybird"
Biripi woman states to the vulture " your evil; full of bad spirits".
Biripi woman tells the ladybird to "leave the vulture".
Ladybird says "you don´t the know the vulture, she has brought goodness to me". The ladybird tells the Biripi woman the vulture´s story.
Biripi woman says to the vulture "I hear your clan?"
The vulture says "I don´t know much of my roots because of family secrets".
The vulture states "you should like me for who I am. I respect you"
Biripi woman tells the vulture "It´s a woman thing"
Biripi woman tells us she loves the ladybird.
The vulture says "I understand because he is special and you see his delicacy and beauty".
The ladybird and Biripi woman cry.

Living Death

2009-02-05T17:19:00.000-08:00

A butterfly trapped in her cocoon;
A lyrebird losing her core to the calls of urbanisation.
A willow tree weeping into a dry river wound;
The motherland mourning the the loss of her kindred and free spirits, the one´s she also never knew.

Polski Affair

share, wino; red, white,
it don't matter; camelarse on the wall?
Fabric to fold oneself in;
Warmth, care.

The Reunion

2008-12-08T22:01:00.000-08:00

Now you cannot tie my broken strings back together
and I am not able to cross the path ahead of us,
It is blocked by puddles of the past.
We can no longer bind our book of love,
presently too many pages have blown away;
but I do propose my soul to you and ask that in the future you find me,
I will be waiting for you amongst the stars;
I give to you my half of the moon and ask that if you love me?
Merge with me to make our moon full.

Planted in the hard & soft rock;
Grew a tree from down under in east london,
Men+mories of the venue on the outer;
inner ended with staggerlee
and why don´t you come on home with me?
I thank Sophie.

The M22

2008-11-17T22:56:00.000-08:00

Circular motions in life can be so tantalizing, for me when done softly and lightly, the skin becomes like a featherless chicken, the hunger starts to bubble, the mind begins to boggle, of how blissful it can be. The rocket arrives to fly me to the moon and I’m up for that ride to the unknown territory. Out of my zones of comfort it may take me, pain worth it, to break that earth bubble, to explode at any moment like a shooting star.

I feel I think I see I hear I cry
Isolate
I reflect I wonder I wait
Isolate
I drink I smoke
Influenced
I read I write
I go to the doctor
I walk towards the darkness
I wait for something
I wait
I whisper¨it can only get better¨
I do I draw
I go
where I am

The Puppet

2008-08-27T23:03:00.000-07:00

Soft insides are cemented in heavy darkness.
Feet dangle over the earth,
Head entangled in strings;
Pulled and tugged in different directions
The puppet performs on the world stage
Trying her best but only to be laughed at
No control of her movements.
Shit thrown in her face by the audience
And people she does not believe in anymore.

Hesitation for many months,
Technology incapacitation
Creativity bobbles
Good, bad, don´t know.
Challenged, excited, my story
Motivation to keep it going? We´ll see.....
