A sonnet? A haiku? . . . I'm interested in bringing ideas of urban, slam, and gestural strong, fearless, proclaiming men that have something not just to show but to say " -B.Graves what must I say to Ayallo ?  where in my body will speak?  how my body is pulled apart ?  how do I put it back together ? For me, poetry is a vessel , something hollow that the poet fills only halfway, leaving the other half empty so that others may add something, too. Here are some vessels.

When I wake at the special hour, I will seek the sun from inside my house.  With cold tea, I will watch 0:05 of 5 videos and choose 1 special moment from only 3. I will keep that moment the whole day. כשאקום שעה מיוחדת אחפס את השמש מתוך הבית. עם תה קר, אנתח 0:05 של 5 קטעי וידאו ואבחור 1 רגע מיוחד רק מ3. הולך ךשמור את הרגע הזה כל היום מחר 1 start with one I know  יודע    2 then, with one I like  אוהב       3 then with one that I didn't know לא ידעתי          4 one I admire  מעריץ             5 finally, one from the company I work with מעבודה עכשיוית

After ballet class, I continued to move.  The first phrase came to me yesterday  while  listening to " Billy Says Go"  by Audion. The second was born today, from the first . (You will forgive any sloppiness. These are simply for memory.) אחרי הכיתת בלט המשכתי לנוע ולזוז אתמול   הרעיון הראשון בא לי  כאשר הקשבתי ל"בילי אומר לך" מאודין השני נולד היום, מתוך הראשון (בבקשה תסלחו לי שהריקוד שם לא כל כך נקי. אלה הם קשוט לזיכרון) 1. 2. I continue to read Twyla Tharp's "The Creative Habit".  Here is a summary  of the book, given by contemplative photographer  Kim Manley Ort ( more about her ).

First I must prepare.  I was given a book, Twyla Tharp's  The Creative  Habit.  Many thanks to Joan Block and Selmadanse for that one. I feel that I need to fall away. I cannot be everywhere at once. Back to reading.
