temporary display

Post by sweetwater » February 23rd, 2010, 2:12 pm

I am only beginning temporarily
to understand the context of beginning
and ending. And then to surface
like a watercolour in the rain

this i am sure about

or to begin
again as something as a morning walk
new and different in the winter entirely

As i am manifesting and painting
the centerpiece with ambivalence

the pastel
wanting of new things
to break the monotonous
hold and blank white pages
of the waking present. In the here
and now.

with perfume and complaint
and the incense of many possibilities

itself an endless shore
or an endless shore of sea
and landscape

the transient verb of
afternoon

and what is left of here and now
hangs on display

as something to keep
in mind and the remembering
of small avenues and streets

and the sound of steaming milk
in a noisy cafe

" And then to surface

Spectacular line.

This is like looking out the window with someone.
I actually felt like I was sitting in front of a window, looking out w/someone.
Dig it.

i am only beginning temporarily
to understand the pastel and perfume of the waking present
and the endless shore of possibilities and myself

i marvel at the ambivalence of an empty sheet
within the blank transience of an afternoon
hanging on display

and with my brush i break the silence
of the monotonous landscape
of my winter manifestation

i sigh

i begin
to surface
like a watercolour in the rain
