was that imperfect moment of indecison, 
just a forgotten possibility
- a perhaps, if and a maybe-
underneath the log and in between the twigs
that tumbled in my mind as an impression

when we slowly absorb the light's rays 
  lifting us up and then
appearing
into the  x-rayed memories of the shrubs, the leaves and the blue sky
as we begin to wake up
and see that it was always all there

      at first you looked almost like a rock
only more driven and determined
silent and unpredictable
ready to open
inside the most ordinary and brilliant wrapping
a bouquet, a truffle or a secret
usually unannounced
with no ribbons

In between what we know
casual
not in a place 
but in a moment
in a haze
as the eyelids begins to open
until they are just about opened
in between knowledge and rubbish
 an instant where we keep and discard
that urban space of existence

Fading was the summer breeze,
the city lights down below,
the neon signs flashing,
and the reflections of casual traffic 
below the SFU Pub
into particles and rays of lights
as I slowly began to open my eyes
and saw us dancing
faster and faster
to the fiddling and drums
of the music

out of the darkness
there was a puff of smoke
emerging
as if a small ball of light had been thrown out of nowhere
opening
was a firebird
becoming a brilliant light
dancing
stamped in the clouds like a heavenly logo
with wings that lit up the sky
rasberry red

 
        
   
  
  
          ...as she turned off the lights

      her day started to fade into a dream again
 ink reassembled and dispersed for interpretation
the patterns appeared
with their busy streets, detours and noise
shifting and moving around
slowly re-enacting  the sounds
of the Salish stage

Look at me
But don't look at me
love and hate me
stay in between
spin
I'm your pie, your puff of smoke and your baby
one more time
smack 
and the door opens again
but you do not look
at the consequences spiralling
at that face you do not want to see
that tells you that..
pleasure is a farce

The life that supports our breath, one after the other, is brilliant. It leaves masterpies in abundance. This creative symphony which is moving everywhere without a trace is backed up by an imagination which teaches us to love and care for what we see and enjoy it. It leaves its memories, on the surface of the earth, in the spirit of play.

intersection: This picture is from a series of photographs that were taken on a seemingly "empty" lot in the intersection of Burrard and 4th street in Vancouver. I tried to find poetry and meaning along the edge of the wall of the building beside the lot, right along were the bushes were growing against. The picture is also influenced by abstract expressionism, arte povera and earth art. 
This picture is at an intersection between the chaos and unrestricted growth in nature and the predictabil...

      I would like to add  short poems and pieces of writing here with my pictures and sketches. Hopefully, you will like them. These ideas are taken from my sketchbook. 
The pillow book is a movie where someone wrote about 4 lines of poem everyday to illustrate her life . I may have pieces of poetry here like this since I enjoy writing things about my day.
