Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

t'ai chi shadows
stretch swords in circular paths
focus, keep focus

that scream wrapped tightly with passion
burning like wildfires on dried grass
that scream busy like crowded streets
moments after the 5:00 p.m. closing
that scream covering the silent chill
shuddering for warmth coos like birds
that scream... that scream...your scream
indeed... so firm... like tofu, soft
like music, soft... undone and free

nasal scream on the half-shelf
cloaked in what will the neighbours think
partially fearful of neighbour dog's attack bark
yet, a dip in the reservoir
preview of what's to come:
march meridian clean-out
all screams must go!

el paso's not nir-oz
yet the same
against a border beyond which
one does not go
and beyond the city is a desert
waiting with mysteries

imagine a little village
nice small town
all together
neighbourly
surrounded by endless fields
changing colors with the seasons
with desert nearby
for prayers and ecstacies
small town quiet
save for the sounds they make
in celebration
and haste
the rest
whispered murmurs
flowered paths
trees

What a treasure trove this is
and I so long missed it
well at least finally now
in in in I dove
and came up smelling roses divine
words splashing little thrills

most excellent.

There is much to read here and I shall scurry back
lost amid the waves that wash.

Grateful for you all, dear friends.

midnight mouse
come back anytime
cookies or cheese?

cookies or cheese?
Both if you please.

Yesterday I opened a delicious Smirnoff Ice, sat outside on the back deck, one of the first real warm days so far, turned on my cd player and listened to the soft sounds of a distant voice reciting poetry. Vicarious orange blossoms scenting the air. Most lovely. It occurred to me that I never properly thanked you for your poetry booklet and cd nor remarked on how much I enjoyed it...so

Thank you very much. I really enjoyed your words, and so much the better when recited in the author's own voice. Talented sister.

thank you dear, and may we also tip our hat to Smirnoff for gracing the occasion!

cheers to beautiful weather. The day today is so spectacular that i had no choice but to skip out of a mandatory (or else) lecture half-way through.

yay, day!

oh mousey i am so glad you made it out of your housey
wowsy

judih is having a renaissance tho she doesn't know it
you are a renaissance lady and you show it
i am emerging onto a renaissance of my own
that prayer judih left for me at the wailing wall
helped me spiritually along with emerging new doors opening

seems as tho the university of south florida will pay my tuition
seems as tho i have been racking up tuition credits for two years now
by the end of april i will have 4 three credit courses paid for
and will continue to accumulate points as my relationship with the university
deepens, mercy, i am a clinical preceptor, the students love me, and...
i am going back to college to finish my nursing bachelor's degree and anticipating graduate school in nursing oncology, it's an art, guiding a graduating nurse through a clinical practicum

i owe a ton of my personal healing and communications skills to studio eight i will stay with you forever, past the pearly gates and beyond, mercy

merci beaucoup-

a lot of gratitude going on
recycle syllables

a swing from 3D
smooth sashay dusk
home to RothKo and Soo




just came back from Alice In Wonder(fu)land
what a fabulous flick.
(had heard some talk that people were disappointed)
(What?!)
Depp, 3D and wow factors - what a joy of an experience
and Alice was the Good Guy slaying a beast and off to explore foreign lands - works for me.

yeah what will happen when the women start acting like men?
oy vey?
i love a woman in a hard hat!
the taoist dragon is really real
she is undercover as a turning wheel
i hope she knows she is a serpent with wings
and the snake in the tree of knowledge
and the tree of knowledge herself
more than a thing
to be misunderstood
and shamed
wailing wall blues
we be singin bout dues paid
news is we done good
prayers' heard
before th words folded and placed
cracks in walls cracks in pavements
secrets held, seeds fall in, sprouts begun
we are going somewhere
we are the dawning
we know the truth
we got to chop wood, carry water
in the way of perennial thirst and longing for the warmth of the hearth
we never leave home
you blue beautiful prayer carrier

op the art
pop the wheeze all
round tongue heavenly blues
back where we started from
