LIGHT

I make my self
light as a feather
floating rivers
to find you

BLACK SARAH

(16x20 acrylic painting on canvas)

I fear that one morning
I will wake up to find
that my life has dissolved
been rendered void of meaning
unsolved itself into nothing
and that this will not be
the diamond-pointed consciousness
of seeing through maya
but simply the period
at the end of a sentence
that made no sense
at all

ONCE UPON A TIME

(assemblage sculpture)

She lived in a dingy place.
Broken-down shacks all around
There were old men, carrying broken dolls
Dirty, old dolls they had found in the dirt
There was a pool of water
with a lot of garbage floating in it
There was screaming everywhere---
big people shouting, and babies crying
Her mother kept saying that some day
they would move to a better place
There was a better neighbourhood
just across the way
The little girl could see it
when she stood in the middle of the pool
She turned around and around
Standing there, on the water
she could see it all
