Two Symmetrical Suns Illumine the Animal Mask

In memory of twin suns.

In memory of bone & wood.

In memory of transformation.

In memory of antlers.

In magic.

In ecstatic chaos completely forgotten

two symmetrical suns illumine the animal mask.

In memory of stone.

In memory of starlight.

In shape-shifting completely forgotten

two symmetrical suns illumine the animal mask.

Intermediaries of the Otherworld

mediate touch in your fingertips

& mediate muscle

rising the mounts of your palm,

& mediate the joints flexible in your thumbs.

Imagine a Word

Imagine a word in the yellow garden of the angel-faery

imagine the word mirabilia

mirabilia opens a curtain revealing a portal

angel-faery imagines me ~ I imagine mirabilia

not three not two not one not me disappearing

into a collapsed perimeter ~ I imagine an angel-faery

in the yellow garden you memorize mirabilia

three eyes aimed upon a stem three eyes upon a flower

memory cascading sounding the word mirabilia

in the yellow garden yellow-ish flowers whisper

in the luminous yellow garden angel-faery whispers

angel-faery touches my eyelid to the flower of her vision

in blue soil I ring like a bell

the keyhole shaped like an ancient symbol

the flower of mirabilia touches your blue soil

darkness like a keyhole beckons the echo of my vision

into the garden of the angel-faery memory cascading

mirabilia penetrates a keyhole beyond the collapsed perimeter

who what where when why

not three not two not one not you

disappearing within the collapsed perimeter.

This is the Scene

This is the scene

where I follow the animal

into the forest.

This could be a bird.

Cubism, Juan Gris & Ancient Iran

Collage and Concept Steven McCabe

Something connected these two works spatially and visually in my imagination. Maybe at first the subtle earth tones. I must have made three dozen digital collages for the GIF. Used many.
