Smidgens
Fluid
Static binaries numbed inside the liminal
As if sound is a scrape bunched into barren elements
Voiced structures—definitions in sand
Drawn with sticks—hopscotch on a playground
To know the tides—their decomposition
To know their fragments—their never-ending versions
Can’t be claimed as one or even one’s own

You’ve been on something of a roll lately, Elan. These images and words are glorious. At the moment, it’s the images that capture. Words take more attention. I noticed an image that was both observation and manipulation, i.e. the Concrete Wall and Thorn (I call it). This, Rust and Bolts, is hyper-real. It’s one of your masterpieces (IMHO).

Thanks so much Ali. I just read your poem “What Matters Most”. I’ve always been intrigued how we “draw”, “write” our way into discoveries and through challenges. Yet, even as we have a peak at deconstruction, most yearn for familiar structure. It seems we apply that structure of yearning to shapes beyond our physical reach. To feel vulnerable by those “shapes”, as if language isn’t enough to express what and why they are, is to realize your own fragility, which in turn, brings you that “opening to the unexpected”. Thanks again, my friend. I will be revisiting your blog. Take care.

Elan,
Your reflective words leave me pondering. What do I know to be solid? I really like the texture and color in this photo.

Rust! I love, just simply love, images of rust. Beautiful colour you found in this one, and the challenges of shape! 🙂
