Friday Night Lights Project: Week #22

This week, the Friday Night Lights Project is typed live from Mission Beach. And as always, the collaboration has conjured some wildly different images that somehow knit themselves together. Like me, Ashley is on the move, while Cindy continues to explore new ways of looking at light… this week through the filter of a fish pond! This project continues to excite me… I hope you can feel the energy.

I am a passenger

and it feels prepositional

to pass over the creek

because it is called Horse Creek

and is running somewhere

specific, not only under

our wheels but in my words

as they relate one object

to another I do not feel

connected except for

the roads and with their tolls

maybe the speed camera

watches over me like my own

mother.

after jacqueline turner’s castaway series

dear castaway an hour from shore and already
there’s a longing to anchor. the depth of your bay
fills me with lust. when we kissed you said i was
the butterfly leaving a life at the ends of the earth.
now all i feel is the weight of the caterpillar curled
inside. it will eventually wreck me.
