✒️English

Thoughts floating
Like by a violin
The notes
Carried by the wind.

-Debora Radice

✒️Italian

Pensieri che fluttuano
Come d'un violino
Le note
Portate dal vento.

-Debora Radice

A blue and light blue sky with flully clouds.

22 septembre (poem by Latif Askia Ba)

In the six o'clock evening. I am waiting 
outsidesun. Someday my prince. Inflected.
The man lifts me. With a crank. Into
the accessaride. A brand new room. Full
of sitting down. 
Sometime in college
I started reading
myself. In beautiful compiler code.
Hooking my chair into place. In case
we flipover. I can dangle from the roof. 
Like a monkey. I watch
as he takes three dollars
out of my wallet. 
He counts each
one out loud.

A striking laser-etched design on a black anodized aluminum card. The front depicts a surreal composition: the silhouette of a human profile blends seamlessly with an intricate pattern of ferns, as if the foliage is growing from their thoughts. The background is textured with organic swirls resembling woodgrain, reinforcing themes of nature and mind intertwining. This visual allegory suggests the mystery of thought, creativity, and connection to the natural world—perhaps hinting at how one's inner consciousness mirrors the complexities of earth and sky.A minimalistic black surface engraved with silver text in a flowing, handwritten style. The poem reads:
"Ferns stitching patterns
no one can read,
as if the earth
mistook your mind
for its
sky."
The layout is simple yet evocative, with the handwritten font lending a personal touch. The engraving reflects light, creating a dynamic visual experience. The poem deepens the artwork's narrative, evoking themes of unreadable complexity, the relationship between human thought and nature, and an almost celestial perception of the mind.

Now available at @applebooks and other #eBook distributors. Coming soon to @amazonkindle and @barnesandnoble.

This is an assortment of blog posts, lyrics and unpublished verse that covers the spectrum from fact to fiction. Some of it is tongue in cheek, some in character, some is me as I really am. I will leave it to the reader to discern the truth from the bullshit.

There's a David Antin bit where he talks about the aboriginal Australians moving from one place to the next as they drained small aquifers that he cleverly, in his style, compares to Los Angeles. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or which of his books it's from? #poetry #contemporarypoetry #DavidAntin #Antin

When surrender becomes flight,
