A very late Tuesday Poem: Equine Fever by...
I’m opaque and somber –
A dark horse cannot stay dark
for long when you shine
a beam in
its eye.
That’s the use for powerful torches, to light the way.
See how he runs, see how he runs.
Don’t worry I will leg yield*
across the room.
*Yes, horses do make a landscape more...

Tuesday Poem: A burnt offering to your Greenstone...
When i go Earth, I shall not succumb
To your pervasive cluth;
nor forbear the sun’s hot licks,
or ribbed umbrella of rain slanting.
I’ll not crouch there to the lee side,
sit lonely in the shadow of the shadow of the wind.
Burnt and sere, my soul on ashen wings
Shall dust instead the leaning
greenstone walls of Tangaroa advancing,
Crumbling…
Ah, then watch him froth and gag,...

What is art?
sympathyfortheartgallery:
i-peach-feng-shui:
“The short answer to this question is: What artists make with the intention that it be art. Validation of the result depends primarily upon artists, and then art dealers, critics, curators, collectors and historians. That the question is so often posted today by the public is a recent phenomenon in history. Its cause comes from critical thinking by...

Tuesday poem: Five Ways to Help You Pass Safely...
1. Whistle a tune your father whistled when you were a child
2. Cross the first two fingers of your left hand
3. If you lose sight of the moon hold it in the mind’s eye
4. Imagine the colours that surround you waiting for the first kiss of morning
5. Keep a Kalashnikov in the glove compartment
by Roger McGough
