It is the LEAST of my concerns – focusing ABOVE anything else on how I will get through the day. A decision about what I will (should?) wear – the MAUVE dress or the black suit – definitely feels like a trivial thing that I can WAIVE. The thought both releases me and tortures me: am I being NAIVE? Will the whole project collapse because I made a sartorial error?

Georg’ann

magenta LIGHT cast upward
Clothes the tree’s shapely trunk and lace like branches
Womanly form, statue of wood
Darkness in the immediate surround,
twinkling lights in the distance.
This one commands center stage sensual and dramatic

She invites me to dance, my own solid form responds
as SPINE undulates slightly

From here comes memory
Father making lunch
Daughter surreptitiously takes the KNIFE,
retreats to her room

Dichotomies of emotion
No option to be NAIVE
All present all the time
A universe within
Every element distinct
Nothing goes to the background, rapt attention
to too much
