Earth
from other places
What better than the earth, earth which bears
witness to times past, earth ploughed then abandonned,
earth people with unknown lives, burning earth, frozen
earth, earth as a mould for the renewal of love, fertile
earth, barren earth, earth of every hue, earth where
life springs anew or perishes.
What a better than the earth to catch us unaware with
that smell, that sight, that touch, that taste which
then brings back some instant sublime.
Seascapes and blue spaces,
or another way of looking…
The lyricism of shorelines. The sea, the deep sea far
from land, in torment, with all the majesty of its peaks
and troughs or at times a doubt about what is sea and
what is land. The watery expanses of chalk-white and
sea-green. Fractal shapes which draw one to a unified
vision of nature. Immersion in matter, water and light.
All those fleeting memories, expressed in different
formats in such a way that the initial outward signs
of confusion can in the end strike a chord with both
the senses and the sheer delight of discovery.
