"Negative Capability"

786,

From the movie "Bright Star" by Jane Campion

I still don't know how to work out a poem. 

A poem needs understanding through the senses.
The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore but to be in the Lake,
to luxuriate in the sensation of water.
You do not work the lake out.
It is an experience beyond thought.
Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept mystery.

I love mystery

middle of a random night

786,

We're just a couple of stoned, drugged up teenagers
Flying motorcycles in the sky
Full moons and fishes mouths...
Want to "stay safe and warm", want to "stay beautiful"*
Want it safe and warm, want it beautiful

Moonlit night
I realize that only You are Real
Want to go inside the whale's mouth and remember
May the companion care to join

*(as a friend would say)

working...

786,

drawing, inking, scanning, editing, lay-outing, sending, waiting...
oh and listening to music
