YOUR CART

BLACK          

I am like rocks. I am the blade and the needle. The minister and the memory. I am your future and your past beyond spacetime and realtime.  I speak with the ravens. The spaces between and the places you’ve been
I am wise aged hag, shapeshifter and dream tender.
I am 
your guardian. I am the cosmic ripple.
The voice of the ages, the 
oracle.
​Soul tender, origin speaker.

I hunger for simplicity, you are nourished by diversity. 
​Find the balance in both. I am all.
In the simplicity of specific conditions, I take form and emerge.
​Pay attention to the conditions and adjust accordingly.
​Your eternal muse: the mystery.

Paper-clips, a visual poem (2019)

Dark has fallen and its not a poem I wish to write, or a word I try to find.
Day is ended, night is open, and sleep will claim these freest hours for its own.
It's not a dream I want to have. It's a life I want to live.
Not a poem I have lost, just a day I’ve never had.
The dark whispers in my ear, I know not beyond this moment: an apple, a wet night, and a pen in my hand.

​A pen in my hand again, it’s ready to write should a moment, an answer, a question, the gift, appear to address the waiting.

​(Dark 2003, spontaneous writing)​

​​2003

My name is me
And the world is perception.
A taste of your certainty
A feel for your name
Who are you?
Where are you from?
Can you teach me how to fly away from here?
How can I change my world,
Change my perception?
Picture
'Transformation' (2018) Photocollage
A tension builds, toward a leap.
And yet the question is not how to escape
the past or present, but how to integrate
the past and future in this moment.

Behind the veil
is something different
but the veil is not a barrier or a wall
instead it represents the edge where
transformation happens,
change happens.

Be on the edge.
Feel the past and the future.
There is no need to
strive, or try, or solve.
Just see and feel
and know what’s present.
It will combine to create
a bridge.
Don’t fear the chasm
the chasm is the
dark from which
new life is born.
'Guidance' (2016)

I am free like the birds
You can’t pin me down,
but I will come and perch
on your shoulder or roost
in your hair and we will
travel together for a while.
Ask me for guidance
Ask me for signposts

​
I can see the terrain from here

that you'll need to travel.
​I will come to you when
you are still and peaceful
Tuning in to your heart like

the eye adjusting its sight
Not when you're freaky and

blubbing and mad


But when you are home
and you know who you are.
When you are in your
power, your truth.
