A surrealist. . .

Thanx to the Saatchi Gallery for sharing this quote. . .

"To be a surrealist means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been."
—Renee Magritte

The Pleasure Principle (Portrait of Edward James) 1937

Khymati is Chloe

Sweet, like Thich Nhat Hahn

taught me to care for my anger,

singing as I sew two skirts together

anticipating the Mayan priest 

I went to see the wise woman

she told me about the mountains in Woodstock

I closed my eyes to the sun

and thought of Rabindranath Tagore again

upon completion of Hummingbird

my gift for the Undine, dancing her slow steps

In the storm where the dialogue took place

in medieval bell speak, sounding far

Her blue owl guide and protector

Conquered by the embroidered tree

that only appears in the rain 

A reminder again, I am not I

As eyes, they do not mind

when it's time to die

Khymati is Chloe

We, as Janus, see both ways

The smile of the girl who ran down the street

and walked back, because she knew 

I was thinking of her
