surges into tired fingertips

as to question faith
while your feet
are so firmly rooted
in the ground
rather
pierce the universe
by looking outwards
and find
what has been missing

stone and steel
there was a grand design
ubiquitous in its ingenuity
an elegant simplicity
in that which comes
from the earth
to the earth
returns

Weekly Photo Challenge: Contrast

June 28, 2014June 28, 201417 Comments

contrast

the city screams
for distinction
while bentleys and bicycles
battle for supremacy
high-priced whores and hipsters
haggle over who will win
the race, the game
the housing crunch
in a soulless search
to leave their stamp
on the door
in a town
where everyone is an artist

Weekly Photo Challenge: Selfie

February 8, 201419 Comments

routine

I care not
for value judgements made
on the colour of my hair
the whiteness of my teeth
or height
of my heels
i would rather
let my art
tell the story
and
be everyman
someone’s child, parent, lover
confidante
muse
safe
and happy
in my anonymity

fed up with festive colour
overwhelmed with red and green
where too many elf-sized benches
and a hefty velvet throne monopolize the decor
Mrs. claus indulges herself for a change

community

the face of the street
changes over time
no longer a destination
or happy place to congregate
just an empty shell
and sweet memory
for those long since moved on

FERNANDO + HUMBERTO CAMPANA‘s Banquete chair

Weekly Photo Challenge: Infinite

infinite

small words
fragments of phrases
bits and allusions
incite unnecessary anger
that gnaws
taking chunks whole
out of hope
and sends us

spiralling
down the rabbit hole
in an infinite free-fall
