Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Hi Arcadia,
the photo is of when I was in Australia in June, I went to Greenough Wildlife and got a chance to pet dingos, that is one of them jumping on me as a photo is been taken.

btw Big Lebowski is worth a re watch,
other Coen brothers worth checking out are Millers Crossing and Barton Fink ...

judih, Thanks for the feedback, glad you like movement its something I have been focusing on a lot when I write these days...

My muse has only given me two lines of a third verse, ironical the first line is "I come to you in silence..." so for now its two verses until I find the words for a final ...

There is another version different words used here... with live video too

Its amazing how much we rely on the internet how it becomes a little world.. really digged this one, especially second verse...

I really like how the poem unfolds. some amazing images, and then the final few lines.... powerful.


Fate foretold the coming of wars, that carry on forever, of ants and other insects, and men who hate and kill with smiley faces tattooed on their arms, chest, and back; and on their letterheads ...

I come to you in penitence,
with redemption pressed against my lips,
bare soled across the arid sands of Shiloh.
Beneath, the catacombs enshrine our bones,
draped in light and bound by skeletal embrace,

the ones quoted below stood out the most for me....



"I'm a lantern swinging in the wind
my body hurts me like the world hurts god"

"otherwise I fight with my dreams at night
and my memories during the day
minor altercations with reality occur ...

Thread the tangled waves
of your midnight curls,
where tender dreams are netted
and shook free, as my trembling
fingertips trace a path of scars
to the cradle of your breast.
Beneath the rise of flesh
your heart echoes and I submit
to kneel in silent petition
while laurel leaves adorn your feet ...

Some powerful images here and emotions here.

The last verse in particular hits hard

"Erotica don't fail me know, all your ropes have worn through and nothing holding me here but tired bones, leaded muscle and drooping viens
Make a harp of this body God,
already wittled the holes for notes, for ...

but you are so totally predictable
you waltz in here and waltz out
beg for applause
dole out autographs

slim, he didn't care about applause
he just wanted a piece of gum
and a candy bar

Loved it especially last part...
