Dream Poem 4: My Foot is on the Ground.

My foot is on the ground.
Competition race
Crowds of people around

Swags and swaths 
and dark steep steps.

Niagara in the 90’s; After James Richards, Raking Light 2014, Digital Video with stereo sound. Safely seated in a small darkened space In the 1990’s rooms of the Tate Here to see Inventory’s DaDa reflection on social housing. London trains and busses have exhausted me. Onscreen a series of obscure and abstract images Until Niagara appears. And now two films are running, the one on screen and the one in my memory. Niagara Falls in December, the nineties have just begun like a new love affair. Niagara Falls in deep love Of crashing foam. A woman in a yellow trench coat that her mother bought from a shop that doesn’t exist anymore, Headscarf and red lipstick. She waits at the top for her photo to be taken. Pose like Marilyn. But there are no colours Everything is blank faced, locked up Frozen solid, danger zone. The petrified falls and thickly Iced, icey, walk-ways are A hazard Impassable. Like this fake marriage...

Victim and victimiser When the whole world is at peace When night has fallen there is God’s face In the stars of the sky In the silhouetted land In my minds eye On the one I love On the one I ignore On the one I give On the one I give not On the one of my children On the two of my children On all of the children Is it my lot to wander gardens Walking barefoot asking pardon? I’m given a choice. Look inside Don’t be blind And Listen. Very. Quiet. Very.  Hard. Concentrate, attend, be present. The victim and the victimiser Are just words and split factions States of being irrelevant to God So forget victimhood, being a victimiser God’s love dissolves, he is the great atomiser Exploder of the false self and selves Clear the decks, throw books from the shelves. God is all in all I am who am Yahweh.

Trainers

Trainers:   Assertive, sassy and cool. You did not used to be like that. Well I am now. I am doing it. I am as classy as a continental coffee drinker in Sainte Germaine. I am tight, tanned and toned, zipped into on-trend leggings and running vest. My fluorescent pink trainers are state of the art. This beach is my drawing board, my game plan, my cleansing detox, my white noise. As I run the vibration of my foot-fall quakes the sand right to Australia. As I am frozen mid-stride, no feet touching the beach. My aura disrupts the atmosphere causing mini thunder rolls and cracks of lightning over the sea. As my pony tail swings, it causes the clouds to rain. Right behind me the precipitation erases my footprint with its downpour. As if I was never there at all.
