And the Last Thing She Said Was, "I Love You Mum....." by KellieBee
A Little Rain Tom Waits/K. Brennan The Ice Man’s mule is parked / Outside the bar / Where a man with missing fingers / Plays a strange guitar / And the German dwarf / Dances with the buthcer’s son / And a little rain never hurt no one / And a little rain never hurt no one They’re dancing on the roof / ANd the ceiling’s coming down / I sleep with my shovel and my leather gloves / A little trouble makes it wurth the going / And a little rain never hurt no one The world is round / And so I’ll go around / You must risk something that matters / My hands are strong / I’ll take any man here / If it’s worth the going / It’s worth the ride She was 15 years old / And never seen the ocean / She climbed into a van / With a vagabond / And the last theing she said / Was, “I love you mom.” And a little rain / Never hurt no one / And a little rain / Never hurt no one

I have always wanted to write “blue humor” for children. I did a short stint teaching at a preschool. One of my duties there was to cook lunch. When asked by the kids, what was for lunch I would sometimes respond,”Poop soup and booger burgers”, which always brought fourth a round of raucous laughter. It occurred to me then, that kids have their own brand of blue humor. This is my attempt.

How excited am I. Just bought tickets to see Vampires Rock VampiresRock at Wulfrun Hall in October!!! Never been before but it looks like a fantastic night – any opportunity to dust off the old gothic clothes, sharpen and polish the fangs! If anyone knows of any fantastic websites selling Vamp-Couture please let me know – and I’m not talking grungy or cyber-goth – each to their own but I much prefer the classic goth/vampire look from 17/18C! Mind you, the last time I ever wore my regalia (up until 8 years ago, I was full-on goth chick everyday, even for work!), and the reason why I stopped was thanks to an industrial broom welding maniac in a local supermarket who took grave offence to my makeup and atire, and decided to stalk my boyfriend and I through the aisles, only to pounce at the checkout and clobber me round the head with the broom!!! From that day on, I stopped! That said, you can take the girl outa the goth but you can’t take the goth ouat the girl and every now and then it starts to creep out again. I’d never label those years “my gothic phase”, which insinuates embarrasment, regret or disdain – its still part of who I am, but I’ve taken off the label so to speak. The telltale signs are easy to spot, the eyeliner starts to get a little heavier and starts to creep out past my eyelids – and even now my wardrobe is mainly black! Anyway, if anyone has seen Vampires Rock, let me know what you thought and let me know if anyone recommends any Fang-tastic shops/sites for clothes!

Rockledge Creek by BySilent
“The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book-a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day.” Mark Twain Original: Inks on Plexiglas, 48”w x 36”h x 1.75”d.

Hehaka Pejuta Wicasa by FAIRIEWOMAN1
Watercolor on watercolor board. / This painting is based on a tradtional Lakota society for men possessing deer medicine. To be honest I don’t know if it exists anymore, but the archetype and energy certainly does. There two kinds of deer medicine. One is positive, embodying the qualities of leadership, caring for one’s mate and protecting the community, knowing when to speak, when to hold one’s tongue. Then there’s the darker aspect . A person may be one or the other, but not both. This painting depicts the shadow aspect . Deer spirits in this tradition manifest as charismatic humans of both genders. Mortals possessing deer medicine exercise the sexual power over the opposite sex as deer during the rut. They speak and move silently, along the outskirts of camp and in lonely places. Here, a man possessing deer medicine is depicted without his handsome form. The rectangle over the heart is a window into the spirit realms, for he travels dimensions at will. Sometimes a deer spirit is cleverly disguised as a human right down to the feet, but the hoof prints left in soft earth betray his true form to those who know the signs. The slender strands connecting deer to the environment represent his connection with the land, the primal, and the animal. A deer spirit morphs into or out of the brush just like the wild animal. Small, stylized flowers in the background and landscape flow over his form symbolizing this ability to disappear into the land and shape shift. The tiny horizontal hourglass shapes are butterflies. I’ve portrayed them as depicted in old beadwork and ledger art., for butterfly is associated with deer and elk medicine. The mask – like visage is the way I envision a deer spirit to look beneath the pleasing mask he or she wears in the human world, I based it on gnarled tree stumps, roots, and the human skull. From his belt dangle the dried out shells of victims from whom he’s sucked the life energy, leaving them hollow. They gave him their hearts, and the deer spirit consumed them, leaving them heartbroken. He can do nothing else, for its his nature. In the background shadowy spirit deer leap across the land, reminding us of his powers and where they come from. The deer leaping from the main subject symbolizes the act of luring a potential victim away from the camp circle and into the unknown. The spider web spread across the deer spirit’s antlers is a metaphor for “mitakuye oyasin”, Lakota for “We are all Connected (or related)”. The shadow aspect of Deer and all other dark energies are part of life, just as Light is. The web also symbolizes his ability to snare and trap souls, and his close relationship to Iktomi (spider), the trickster. Don’t play games with deer spirits, for you’ll always lose….your mind. / Text and Image copyright Helena Nelson -Reed
