Turning








This summer, the turning --















the blue and white you want to fight to keep







from turning grey,







the turning away.

Welcomes








Another kind of welcome








is flowers in your fingers,







and tiny shells in open palms,







and miles of brightly coloured yarns.

In Vietnam







In Vietnam, toilets can retire and still find love.







Roses in the street aren't the same thing as rubbish.





When you're walking through the fish market...







...sometimes it's better to not look up.







You've got to feel sorry about something or other, but sometimes the cracks are my favourite part.

Fireworks








I'm a mass of electric light spiders.







We're the daughters of the air.







I'm the devil's ballroom chandelier.







I'm shivery as lightning's bier.







I'm outta here.

What to do?








Dare,







and dare,







and dare again.

Butoh is the walk of smoke



Because Butoh is about disappearing, that is why a form is left behind -- The disappearing history of the flesh trails behind the metropolis of the flesh -- In our body, there is something that sometimes goes astray, and sometimes surfaces.

post for dinah hawken








"Bev, it's easy in this crudely driven city to betray what is delicate







and what is deep. I'm writing 'delicate' and 'deep' to you because they're exhausted







words and to avoid them now I know would be a greater betrayal."









-- Dinah Hawken, from 'Writing Home'

masks











"The happy, healthy human being








wears








many








masks."  -R.D. Laing

pet light









Is this cat made of light? Yes,







made of light, just like the far side of my face.







And the sofa, woven storm, is a background to pet against,







to pet light, light against light,







and ears with which to hear the fight.
