If its Friday or

A medium truck
filled with
pots of trees
all slanted back

A landscape worker
carefully folding
the jute blankets
that covered and
protected the
pretty pansies
from the frost

On Fridays
I find the
most amazing
things
enroute office

Another friday
it was a
Roadrunner
crossing the road

Ghost of a Colour

The Making and the
Unmaking
meet in a fleeting
Horizon

The color
the pigment
moves from
the artists mind
to the object

It treads miles
and in many lines
to be a colour

A Spectrum
An apparition


 Image from Peach blow vase
Image from It took 60 miles of sewing thread to create

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle

Anonymity and Humanity
When a person is in the
oblivion you dont know
him
if he's good or bad
when he gets famous
then he wishes for the
world
however illegal,
inappropriate
only to get more famous
in an uncomplimentary way

Is it girl or boy?

I told my preschooler
that I saw a
Jingle Bell Spider

I thought it was creative
use of jingles

I am going to call it a female as
The ends of the palps are not enlarged

piggy backy ridey

Holding her sisters
tiny little pants
of yellow and white flowers
behind her back

like a sweater
with only hands
fastened

'piggy backy ridey'

When architecture speaks

The Yazidi holy place of Lalish


Deep Fluted Cone
The circular steps
on the bottom
make the edge
prominent like
daggers turned out

A good building
makes you recall
both the starting brick
and its defiance at once

If we were marble sculpture

Color potrait makes me
wish we were all marbles
to begin with
like the white sculptures

We could then be
chameleons
then we wouldnt need any
makeup

And when we run out of
some color
like the laundry day
it will be canary yellow lips
and patched face


In the beginning, when the artist is looking how the colors are on a practice sheet, light color circle a bit to the left of a dark one, gave it a 3D look.
At 13:25, her nose seems like it is placed on the sheet

Countries as thought clouds

A cloud of thought
on an overturned
paper on an easel

We use those clouds
to box up something
we dont know fully
but want to represent
it

Borders of a nation
too
seem drawn that way

Kinetic design

1.
A Pot might look
beautiful at the
end of the
journey
of its making

But the form holds
itself as a proof of
the journey

of the rotation
nudges and pulls

****
To a poet A beautiful urn is supposed to equate beauty with truth. Truth of is so.

2. Time is the
next horizontal
line of thread
uniting the vertical
lake of threads
tying some dividing
others to form a
tapestry
(32:12)

3.  From a thick brush
the color bleeds onto
the nape of a
moving pot


(40:00)

Why leaves change colors

reminds me of other questions
why some land is desert
where water evaporates more
why doesnt it rain more

A plumbing company logo
is phoenix in an inverted
drop

This months calendar
a water drop with the smile
of sun in background
makes an angel of the
drop

A Day

is an interesting thing

It might seem
that your days
are not different

but when you try
to say what you
do in the evenings

then if you can
recall
you will see that
there is not one
pattern
not one thing
that you do the
same
everyday

we have a plan
but something
happens

and makes the
days not
recallable

When we miss somebody

how does the scene
look
to an outsider

an unfinished painting
with white silhouette
of the missing person

*********
From an unfinished painting

Anything protected

Atoll Hurricane

is for Hurricane
to be safe
from it

Hurricane action
resembles the
cross section
of a human body
with the storm
rotating up the spine
and building winds
around the border
of the body

Five Directions to My House

Five directions to my house

1. An invisible green lawn in the backyard
2. A pond

Unsame

Peer and Peer

According to dictionary one peer's origin
1175-1225; Middle English per Old French per <Latin pār equal

and another's origin
1585-95; perhaps aphetic variant of appear

two different words
different paths
sound same
but mean
other

A dictionary
is the register
of births and
deaths
of words

Who ate whom?

Black Glass Still Life with Fish, Pear and Skeleton

The pear
human skeleton
and the
fish

all have
a skeleton

If the fish
and pear were
not edible

If the fish
ate the man

or the pear
ate him

The fish
ate the man

The pear ate
him

What ate him
