CONCEPTS OF VANISHING

Continuing the Diary of Loss, this is an abstract visual essay on loss and sustaining elements that define my life. This section makes use of an app that reproduces the vintage instamatic look of photos.

CONCEPTS OF VANISHING

Two Crows for Joy

[I had dreams (asleep and awake)]
the clock stopped
but time spun round, passed me,
cut, with it's hands, the sweet desire into bareness,
fleeting chances, vanishing beach,
and shadows that killed faith,

our parrallel regions of dreams
diverged,

I am vanishing
yet searching. . .
Two Crows for Joy ::
. . . and flight down the road south






small sustaining elements...

enter the insides of the camera to see steel,
Bitterweed thriving in cracks of dry asphalt,
I-beams and trash,
another daily quest for The Real
within the virtual, numbers and 
a word, an out-of-place enigma 
and images melding with
a message only you understand...
and how much you needed that.






Give My Poor Heart Rest

and someday I'll paint my pain's release
as lilacs and blue hydrangeas, a crescent
moon in August or November
over Front Beach breezes humming
through Live Oaks. . .
such solid reality can be sealed in
repetitive motion, sacred scents, memories,
and the chorused songs of seabirds floating.





Five

You were the blunt trauma against me
and wrought with
whatever you were dealt, You
thrusted it all upon me... me,
the precariously delicate spirit,
. . .
where were you and what were you
when I was locked in that black hole?

AUTUMN in MISSISSIPPI

Autumn Landscape in the Hill Country of North Mississippi combined with a system of clouds moving in from southwest can be quite beautiful. These were shot Sun. morning, Hwy. 178 East in Pontotoc Co.

TABBY'S WORLD

A sweetheart of a cat - Tabby is a gentle spirit with a penchant for
napping on his favorite old piece of quilt and a small baby blanket.
He has a tiny high-pitched mew which he uses as I present him with a
dish of his fav food, Fish & Shrimp. Other than that, he's a silent
kitty who makes the house more "home" with his presence, especially
when he sleeps in his chair all night.

LITTLE EVOCATIONS

When I'm out and about, I am liable to stop in the middle of the road or, at least, suddenly pull over to the side in order to shoot an image that speaks to me. The iPhone is the ususal camera of choice these days as it's always with me and it's such an immediate medium.

The Hydrangea was sitting in a small turquoise candle votive on my kitchen counter when I discovered the late afternoon sun igniting it and the yellow of the countertop. The Morning Glories were intwined in a tree beside a narrow one-way street and they lit the gray rainy day with that shocking blue, so who could pass that by. The mirror image is actually a portion of a mirrored horse's head - a sculpture which stands in front of a Germantown, TN garden center on Poplar. There are several horses in that area, but the mirrored one is amazing.

OLD ICE PLANT

An October 5th. trip to Tupelo netted eye-candy and jaw-dropping experiences –

The photo shoot visit to the "ancient" ice plant, with my son and daughter, was quite an adventure! Walking in and around the ice plant was a trip into the falling-down-world of an incredible past technology.
