The worker



He works,
outside the window
a dialogue of tide ebbs and flows.
He works,
a paradigm of clouds tantalise triumphantly in procession.
He engages with the polemics of a ceiling’s defects of character,
beauty happens.
He finds the line and talks with a wall’s memories,
beauty happens

Watermana

This is very long, it's also available as a 3D/video visualisation at:
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXmFJtBymbs
(best watched  LOUD in high quality mode)



I went on a journey
I went on a journey
I sought mana of feeling
empowerment for those
who would share my journey
I prayed for mana of feeling,
empowerment of feeling,
for those who would share my journey
I prayed to the spirits of the lowerworld
for empowerment
with love for you

Hard Man

I wish I was a hard man,
who men look at in fear.
I wish I was a hard man,
who women palpitate for in fear.
I wish I was a hard man
so friends wouldn’t call for help
in the middle of the night.
I wish I was a hard man,
so women wouldn’t love me,
as a friend.
Then I wouldn’t have the responsibility I have,
of love.

Vermin

Fear not the karmic consequences of vermin extermination
In previous lives ants were accountants
cockroaches were lawyers
fleas were CEOs of insurance companys and
rats were right wing politicians.
Their destiny is to die
(preferably painfully)
so kill them
they know the reason why

The Housepainter



He strips away the old
unlike an onion,
each layer was a story
stories of lives, loves and deaths
they tantalise
the defects of character
he fixes are an argument between
beauty is there
was there

until he erases the walls memories

Divination of an African Sunrise

Dancing Trails
rise up
with sweet smelling perfumes,
shaping and recanting
in all different guises.
Beautiful plumes
dart through the air
spiraling to
the bigger picture.
Divining in light.
Divining in dream.
You came to me
in sweet smelling perfumes
unfurling mist,
dancing in trails,
                    racing into ash.
