Sleeping God Messengers
Angels lay stretched out on stones
Feathers layered, bones bulging
Breathe pulsing, hearts beating barely visible
Under the veil of water flowing over them
I drew this in late June.

Pause, Stop, Repeat
This
pendulum mutters "sweet"
Dance
past the grandfather clock clause
Pilot
this boardroom frantic and lost
Pause
Stop
Repeat
These
floorboards groan and creak
Trudge
over twelve feet of vacant, dark air
Swish
through these currents of
careless, unconscious sleep
Pause
Stop
Repeat
This
truant orbits me
Warbles, stutters
Eats spikey, sulfurous, sentences and
spits turbid
sits on my doorstep
Gorilla law man mean

Solid as Flight
Inspired by Andy Goldsworthy and the desire to create, a number of Dandelion Seed Company people turned up at our house last weekend for a collaborative project.
The process: Each person shared a challenge in their creative, spiritual or relational lives. Then we chose a theme from that sharing, brainstormed, listed skills, whittled it down to a one day project using those skills, took 3 hours to write a song, poetry, create an installation, and take photos of the process. The rest of the day was putting the video together, which was in many ways a record of the experience. Along with the installation in our yard.
