Today I like -
Passion, movement, life, saying yes, saying no, stamping my feet (flamenco), excitement, flirting, being lazy, letting my hair grow long, stretching, hot sun on my skin, the smell of jasmine, jokes, red wine and Coca-Cola, bicycling, ballet dancing, the cosmos,
psychology, the esoteric, new inventions, losing myself in a novel, de-constructing TV, films etc., the times when I have to write poetry, learning to speak Spanish, cacti, because no two are alike, fast cars, rituals, processions, frankincense, renaissance art, Egyptian art and Isis, Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, Maria Callas, although I cry every time I listen to her, the view of Africa over the Mediterranean at dusk, Mediaeval music, eastern music, reggae, Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring' Rammstein, warm summer nights, playing castanets, the pageantry of Semana Santa, horses at the ferias, cloud patterns, stars, eclipses, comets, the smell of turpentine when I'm painting, the glory of colour, the miracle of a painting coming together, life drawing, the beauty of the naked body (well toned of
course), laughing at myself, wondering what's going to happen next, romance, dressing up and going out, cats, cups of tea with toast and honey, the endless riddle of why we are here and where we are going, all the answerable mysteries we shall maybe only solve when we are beyond life.
Me
Born screaming small into this world
Living I am.
Occupational therapy twixt birth and death–
What was I before?
What will I be next?
What am I now?
Cruel answer carried in the jesting mind
of a careless God
I will not bend and grovel
When I die. If He says my sins are myriad
I will ask why He made me so imperfect
And he will say 'My chisels were blunt'
I will say 'Then why did you make so
many of me?'
These poem-songs based on my collection .. OUTCRIES, came into being through a collaboration with Sub@. They concern themselves with love in many forms .. the ecstatic, physical and spiritual. Sometimes they are joyful celebrations and at other times they cry out in pain.
