Share Your World – February 5, 2018

.

What would be your ideal fantasy way to spend Monday?

Sleep and work on my Artwork

What one person that you are out of contact with would you like to say thank you to?

 

My Maternal Grandmother Eva Sophronia Gordon Palmer.  She died when I was a little girl and I did not get to know her very well.  My memories of her are faint. My Older cousins have told me what a wonderful person she was.  I miss her.

Little know Black History facts


Black History facts

It was March 2, 1955, when the fifteen-year-old school girl refused to move to the back of the bus, nine months before Rosa Parks’ stand that launched the Montgomery bus boycott. Claudette had been studying Black leaders like Harriet Tubman in her segregated school, those conversations had led to discussions around the current day Jim Crow laws they were all experiencing. When the bus driver ordered Claudette to get up, she refused, “It felt like Sojourner Truth was on one side pushing me down, and Harriet Tubman was on the other side of me pushing me down. I couldn’t get up.”

Claudette Colvin’s stand didn’t stop there. Arrested and thrown in jail, she was one of four women who challenged the segregation law in court. If Browder v. Gayle became the court case that successfully overturned bus segregation laws in both Montgomery and Alabama, why has Claudette’s story been largely…

Do You Want Me to Cry While I Leave You Alone?


 

 

 

“Do you Want Me to Cry While I Leave You Alone?  I can build up or I can put down.  Now which will it be?

Beware the Corpse Queen for she’s just a gilded Mummy encrusted with Jewels.  A Gyrating Succubus waiting to entrap men’s souls.  Jeweled Skeletons harboring secret revelations Hidden behind the Altar.   She Loves beautiful rings, pendants and brooches with compartments for locks of her Lovers hair. Reliquaries to be worn and admired.

Sullied with a high tolerance for Costumery, Deciding to cover my decaying flesh with elaborate fabrics.  Now I take my constitutional along the boulevard of Weeping Willows.

Sleep becomes my typical Mourning routine.  Women in Mourning Attire gently moving lace and frills.  My Coachman was accompanied by small misshapen dancing beings atop miniature horses serving as squires to our entourage. Prayers roust their lumpen necks as the bier makes its way to a new forever home.  Leaving a gray miasma in their wake.

“Hydrax meets Hydrangea developing plots and schemes to catch the Hydra not fooled by settled Tramps setting traps. Push them off the bier and let me pass! Charon awaits my commands. Could have sworn I overheard snickering in the background.”

Go Tell the Bees that Dan is Dead!  Let Them Spread the Honey throughout the land!  Pollinate!  Pollinate!  Drape the Hives with Black Bunting!    Let the Shroud be Worn by each and every Mourner!  Tomb Sweeping Tuesday is at hand!  Come Eat and Fly Kites with me!

Scented Blues Bloom All Alone.  Each hillside caked in Honeysuckle Heather tall Grasses meandering towards Mountain Cliff-sides

Angel Sculptures covered in Moss.

An Overgrown Pond


 

 

 

An OverGrown Pond

 

Where the Koi Jumped for Joy into the sky for the water comes from the sky then returns to the sea

Pistons, electrons, neutrons

 

 

 

 

 

By a Picnic Table caught up in sand

Beside a Piano wrapped around a tree

Where I had cracked an egg filled with red ants over his face

Where once I had tried two more times to plant myself on the portico of the place I had lived posthumously

Every day he would come to the drawing room dressed in a new wig and caftan ready to work on his latest illustrated sonata.

His goal ~~ The Chapel where the outline of an over grown cherub with upturned mustaches, a five o’clock shadow, cigar and swollen gonads graced the ceiling

 

In Her Long Flowing Caftan expectations were high.  Higher than ever before

As she crafted her Caftan Swung to and fro in the Breezes

Swirling & Twirling like a dance in Homage to the Muses and Goddesses of Ancient Times

Swaying Sometimes Billowing Out

Billowing Waving Flapping in Upturned Winds

Powered by gusts of frenetic kinetic energy her billowing Caftan swept over the town and villages spitting out flags, Semi-phores, and coded messages to family cemeteries

Leaving behind satisfied scripts which she added to her burgeoning collection

 

Sending Signals across the Mesa

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then the Joyful Koi began to play Ragtime 

They jumped up and struck the keys in sequence creating beautiful melodies
