Two poems by Mary
FOR AMINA LAWAL & CHILD Amina,
|
ODE TO ELEPHANTS So frail a thread,
|
Mary says :
Nature is comprised of infinite perfection and deformity. It is surpassed only by itself in magnificence and cannot be bound by conventionality. The ideal landscape does not exist. The meaningless is just as meaningful as the meaningful. The sight, smell and touch of rain saves my life, yet it takes that of another. A tree. A tiger. A human being. A bird. A sky. A dog. An ocean. A bug. A cell. They talk to me, if only I'd listen. I know of joy and desperation, yet I do not recognize them. I am out of tune or in perfect harmony. I go where I am lead, sometimes freely, sometimes with resistance. I want to know the visible and the invisible better. A thirst for humanity is the inkwell of my creative endeavors. My live is ordinary with extraordinary moments. I enjoy writing and painting. Typically, I research people, events and ideas and go from there with paper and pen.
