etch in light

intellectus means "light of the mind"

it is not discourse it is not even language

the inner sun 

"Rant" - Diane di Prima

This week at Take a Word the theme is LIGHTS. 

I did this by combining several photos I took at the last Bienal de São Paulo (a biennial art exhibition).

you have a poetics: you step into the world

like a suit of readymade clothes

or you etch in light

your firmament spills into the shape of your room

the shape of the poem, of yr body, of yr loves

"Rant" - Diane di Prima

Remember us

The young dead soldiers do not speak. 

Nevertheless, they are heard in the still houses: 

who has not heard them? 

They have a silence that speaks for them at night 

and when the clock counts. 

They say: We were young. We have died. 

Remember us.

Take a Word asked for NUMBERS. I don't know how but I ended up with this, but I like it. Thanks for visiting!

Background is a photo of The Rifle House Cemetery, in Belgium, that contains 230 First World War burials. I googled the WW1 soldiers photos. Texture by Chris Johnson.

Roses

Hi there! The Three Muses asked us to JOURNAL A QUOTE,  a song title or a single word. It's Spring down here and we have flowers everywhere that's why roses came to my mind. I chose a poem and a quote by George Eliot. I tried to emulate a journal page, but though I love digital art I'm never satisfied with the result when it takes to journaling. Never mind...

Thanks to MC Designs, Miss Snoopy25 and Tootypups.
