In the making
We are delighted to share some visual art from the retreat experience on
he Big Island. We hope you will join us soon!
"On shore, all the sedge blades sharpening.
Under:
Granular sounds of sand, conglomerate,
bedload shift --
The black-green water rings with hidden folded light.
Crab-speak, the high hurt-songs of coral
mineralising,
crystals growing into water's ghosts.
Sub-heard groans of ancient seagrass rhizomes,
plankton, larvae, bivalves, mollusks,
the count-cancelling fish.
As the infrasound that goes through continental shelf and sea
and keeps its surety
my hearing went benthic:
Actual ocean, ur-ocean, its full, fine-grained reserve:
acid and iron,
microbes splitting water -- plasmic hiss --
great sea creatures in deep sound channels
making music that witch your blood."
