in Passions, Poetry Tags: bears us away in a flood, Brett-Marie Was Here, catapulted off the floor, childish, condescending shaking heads, Fredrik Bachman, instinctive, naive, our dignity, overwhelmes us, passion inhabits the universe, passion stops all our pain, Passions, puzzlement of others, we risk, yell and yell
Owen in 2008
from Fredrik Bachman
Brett Marie Was Here
p261
“All passion is childish. It’s banal and naive. It’s nothing we learn. It’s instinctive, and so it overwhelms us. Overturns us It bears us away in a flood. All other emotions belong to the earth, but passion inhabits the universe.
That is the reason why passion is worth something, not for what it gives us but for what it demands that we risk. Our dignity. The puzzlement of others and their condescending, shaking heads…..
sometimes our souls are catapulted off the floor” and passion stops all our pain as we yell and yell and yell…

in Horse Context, Poetry Tags: always bouncing forward, art by Rama Dixit, Horse Context, horse leading the way, left knee facing sideways, pony tail mirrored in rider and horse, riding side saddle, shoulders face front, trot
art by Rama Dixit
riding side saddle
seen in the twist of the leg
but where is the second leg?
shoulders face front
so how is the left knee facing sideways?
rider looks down
so the horse must be leading the way
diagonal knees bent
shows horse’s trot
pony tail mirrored
in rider and horse:
always bouncing forward!

Maps and Graduations

Don leaves me in the car
with no car key
Sigh!
Rescued by my daughter’s texts
emotional support from i-Messaging
