Old Land

Feels like love
Yet - sounds like hatred.
Looks like a basement that has not been visited for years.

Like sweet milk gone sour
with the smell of burnt chicken and sweet potato pie
Like my grandmothers kitchen on New Years Day

The land moves.

Like a delicate baby -
crawling.

Windy Graffitti

Their buzzing blue subway
Projects Learning
Like a famous snobbish ground

SHOUT RESPECT

You are a community metaphor
Faint
Ugly
Annoyed

Effects of Change - Part 2

Life is always precarious
dependent on high winds and waves

Yet now, ominously

On my visit to see what is left
I find only a basement -
rendered uninhabitable

Effects of Change - Part 1

Above all we are closely knit
a single binding
This mixture stirs up a sensation that runs deep
a supreme sense of place.

That place now in danger of disappearing beneath the waves

Once part of the empire.

This is She

shy sister
Imagine Summer
Turquoise Stars
Sunlight
Demand Independence
Graceful Angel

Real A-R-T

Masterpiece Painting

like a delicate black brother

Patient.

Childish.

Human.
