Consider: the verbal dearth

that is always a main ripple of extinction.

The lexicon of wilds goes on nixing its descriptions.

Slimming its index of references

for what is

super as a rhubarb, and juicy

as a peach,or sunken as a

comb and ancient as an alder tree, or

conifer, or beech, what is royal

as jelly, dark as a wintering

hive, toxic as the jessamine vine

who weeps the way a willow does,

silently as wax

burned in the land of milk and

all the strong words in poems,

they were once

smeared on the mandible of a bee.

Playing with Bees, RK Fauth

… to find   

what’s not found   

at once, but lies

within something of another nature,   

in repose, distinct.

I accept the presence of dances invisible to me.

I racked up habitual sins. I desired, desire

this hand of mine still reached for you.

Rebecca Horn, Labyrinth of the Soul: Drawings 1965-2015. Sean Kelly, New York, January 7 – February 18, 2023.

“From around 2003-2015, Horn produced an impressive group of large-scale works referred to as Bodylandscape, paintings on paper that extended her interest in the body as machine into an autobiographical, performative arena. Incorporating pencil, acrylic, and watercolor and gouache with text, these energetic works are scaled to the artist’s own proportions, defined by the limit to which her arms could extend when building the sometimes-frenzied compositions through the movements and actions of her own body.”

Another world of tree spirit interweaves our path, emerging through fluid energies like sunlight.

Portals can be found near such a tree on our land and also in one’s own interior.

Expand your inner space toward the subjectivity of native plants by envisioning shared land.

Earth encompasses physical nature and an ineffable vastness of intention, telluric impulse, vivacity.

Phusis, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge
