Greetings!
This is a proposal that Poet Hiram Larew and I have submitted to Montpellier Art Center for an exhibition in their library gallery. Our vision is to weave together two distinct disciplines with multiple thematic inter-sections to explore and create.
Our recipe:
First take Hiram's amazingly visual poetry!
BETTER SEEDS
Looking
up seems early
I’m
going to slip outside as soon as
sprigs poke and fences shine
Scout
about until you wave me in for breakfast
I’m
going to lean into my wishes
Because
this is the nickel time of spring
When
legs seem longer.
There
are better ways of learning
Ways
as ready as your bird box
There
are better people
Ones
who get polished by the wind
And
there are better seeds
The
kind that wait a year or two.
But
it’s hard to wait when everything is curling
When
time slips through curtains to let us know
That
this chance is more than our pillows
It’s
quicker than that
It’s
kind of like our neighbor
Who
slides a box of kale starts
Onto
the porch first thing
Chuckling
not to wake us.
And mix in, until well blended my own paintings and installations,
Cook til seared on the outside and pink on the inside.
While hot layer with movement, sounds and color. Serve immediately!
