Interests: movement, stressed/transgressive embodiment, lived experience (body\space\time\relation)
expression ( word, dance, text, image, story, music, poetics)
learning, yielding......
Hopes for the blog:
offer up the wild intersectedness of lived experience and engage others in creative, expressive, perhaps irreverant, hopefully playful, and respectful encounters....
enact kindness
create moments of pause for disclosure, discovery, stillness
Sea Horse
Quicksilver stillness
shimmering
space
impossibly silent
effortless grace
Question mark hybrid
older than time
hovering
watchful
seaworthy mime
Inconceivable
yet
so iridescently
and improbably
present
I am sending a card to my son to commemorate a special day. It has a simple and elegant image of a sea horse. Lovely. I wrote this little poem because I felt like honoring an improbable creature... and I realize that in so many ways all of us are like this... present even when it seems improbable.
ReplyDeleteSea horses are so cool! There is a large tank of them at the Ripley Aquarium in Myrtle Beach -- sea dragons, too! -- and I could sit and watch them forever. Or maybe they are watching us . . . .
ReplyDeleteIntelliwench... gosh, yes.... sea dragons.... amazing.
ReplyDeleteI think they are watching us....

Garth-- I was hoping that it might work out that way... but the shape poems are always a bit elusive. Glad you enjoyed.
