#58 SHE

pressed flowers, a macro shot

...

And a poem from Saul Williams, a voice inspired, and filled with, Truth:

i presented

my feminine side

with flowers

*

she cut the stems

and placed them gently

down my throat

*

and these tu lips

might soon eclipse

your brightest hopes

~

SAUL WILLIAMS

#54 I saw light

On Foot I Had To Walk Through the Solar System
written by Edith Sodergran
On foot
I had to walk through solar systems,
before I found the first thread of my red dress.
Already, I sense myself.
Somewhere in space hangs my heart,
sparks fly from it, shaking the air,
to other reckless hearts.
(translated by Stina Katchadourian)

GIFT

R.S. Thomas

Some ask the world

and are diminished

in the receiving

of it. You gave me

only this small pool

that the more I drink

from, the more overflows

me with sourceless light.

Today: much love and gratitude to my parents.

"Hawk Feather"

(He wishes for the cloths of Heaven)

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Of night and light and half-light,

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

--W. B. Yeats
