So Tell (new poem)

So Tell I need big old ideas Honey And I know something makes sense Big Don’t you see it? Don’t you see it? This world keeps falling Girls know that it is burning and I think the dog was thinking he was out of the way If you like I will start if you are kind and not angry There’s nothing There’s nothing, there’s nothing she thinks about She thinks He’s my answer, in ourselves, we’re in ourselves, she’s my answer In his sleep, he shouts, “Oh no”, the man lives in doorways now Continue reading So Tell (new poem)

Having delved into the mesmerising universe crafted by the Strugatsky Brothers in several of their works, I recently embarked on the journey through ‘The Inhabited Island.’ The Strugatsky Brothers have a knack for creating worlds that are both bizarre and thought-provoking, and ‘The Inhabited Island’ is no exception.

Mushroom… (new poetry drawing)

oddspecs

The text on the left is a Basho poem translated by John Cage 🙂 I came across it via chance methods in one of my many Cage books, a bit of a coincidence as I watched a documentary about Robbie Basho a couple of weeks ago and it mentioned that he may have taken his name from Basho the poet. And, of course, it features the word mushroom, so that’s always good 🙂 Ink on card. A5 size (about 5.8 x 8.3″). Original. Signed. Available in my Etsy shop 😉 Continue reading Mushroom… (new poetry drawing)
