Moving Picture Show

Moving Picture Show

Forget the colonnades, the parlour floors decorated to arts delite
the texture of these clouds are flavourful - full of long exposures,
loose posture and sensual remedy.

I imagine them lulled by the marching of these pedestrian ants
a somber stomp, sounding less like auxillary and more like tired ol
trains pacing along the same tracks, tunneled in small proximity,
these are the gallows -- once you see the perimeter lines, you are through.
No thoughts to saddle the wonderment, there is a lonesome joy in this.

So look to the picture show, the gassy colour left from advanced invasions,
fleeing like supernova past the scope of our minds.
Let the currents make it dance, trot under the stars,
until it finds itself settled pushing off the waters in bundles...
Still, as the planes fly through, clawing towards mankind
find me seated until the last credit pulls from my eye.

When everyone was quarantined, I felt like

  "When everyone was quarantined, I felt like..."           I was caged,  my cord cut,            the outside was in,       and I  wasn’t ready for that. I felt like I was out of time                 – no way to re-plan my life,  no way to be by anyone’s side. I like mapping the scene,     feel heat amongst a crowd,  and now, to stay away from them,  I have to hide. Close myself off  my nature,  to enjoy parties  dancing, all the things               feel more alive…  When that door shut, a hurricane hit. JMWC 9/22/20 from class, Panorama High School, 2020

my brain is completely flooded i've rode this train before to a journey laden in cumbersome foot-stomps catching my frolic to the ground, tumbling over some man's arms, thick-legged brawn there is a part of me that says, 'you're too old for this'... maybe to know better is to be declarative and surrender to the certainties in life. however certain and present, the tornado will  follow. it's better to live submissive instead of dismissive to the velocity of life held out in front of you... like the last banana in the fruit bowl, or that chocolate cake you just want to lick. bowl to casket. each motion a delight.

In Honor of Mother Earth

Happy Earth Month!  Right now, we see the blossoms opening, the vines ripening -- the sweet smell of Spring is here! Congratulations to everyone for making it out of the darkness, in this frigid air... the dew of the damp Earth has sprouted many blessings.  Rake up the gentle soil and bring her into your circle. Let the abundance flow into your circle; enjoy the fragrance of your harvest. I wanted to offer up this powerful song; Madre Tierra , by Maya Jupiter. Her message is steady and daring to be spoken into the ears of all who dwell on and know Mother Earth.  Speak righteously, and take care. ~ Jessica ~
