About the time I learned to slip this complex mask on….I got dumped….now I need a don’t give a shit mask….ok, so far???
I am so surprised by the reaction to this piece and am so delighted….....I have long wanted to be the free spirit most of us are as children…..

I’ve been studying German every day again. There’s a professional writing job coming up for me, and my degree in this most beautiful of languages has scored me an interview. Somehow, I don’t think listening to Nina Hagen lyrics and watching ‘Inspector Rex’ is quite enough anymore. And because Brigit got tired of waiting. Mit ihrem Blick entzündet sie ihr Haar / Und dreht auf einmal mit gewagter Kunst / Ihr ganzes Kleid in diese Feuersbrunst, / aus welcher sich, wie Schlangen, die erschreken, / die nackten Arme wach und klappernd strecken. Und dann: als würde ihr Feuer knapp / nimmt sie es ganz zusamm und wirft es ab / sehr herrisch, mit hochmütiger Gebärde / und schaut: da liegt es rasend auf der Erde / und flammt noch immer und ergibt sich nicht. / Doch sieghaft, sicher und mit einem süssen / grüssenden Lächeln hebt sie ihr Gesicht / und stampft es aus mit kleinen festen Füssen. / Spanische Tänzerin Rainer Maria Rilke Her hair she kindles with her glance / and suddenly with daring art she turns / her total dress into this conflagration / from out of which, like serpents which are frightened, / her naked arms extend, awake and rattling.’ And then: as if the fire grew too scant for her, / she gathers it completely, throws it off / very imperiously, with a haughty gesture / and looks: there it lies raging on the ground / as yet still flame and it does not surrender. / But she, triumphant, self-assured, and with a sweet / saluting smile lifts up her face / and stamps it out with feet both small and firm. / Spanish Dancer by Rainer Maria Rilke

Marion’s exquisite work came at a time.. / Well it is like clockwork sometimes.. to breath .. to find a way to breath when / others think they know how you breath and they do not. MOTH IN WATERCOLOR / MUSIC .. APPEARED..This song is a song I have sang with all my heart since I first heard it. When i sang jazz.. I made this mine. / I got standing ovations on this one only because I felt it to my CORE. / . / The Need To Be

This prose was inspired by the scrumptious and megga talented Mel Brackstone’s sublime Lean on Me I saw the ’ lean on me ’ as a mutual arrangement. / The mask is a funeral mask. / And that it also speaks of our own mortal ways being no matter what the colour of our skin we all have the same fate. It is off course open for interpretation but that is the essence of this write. / We balance each other… /
Fuck it. / The whole world a whisper, uncaught / hanging by the feet of the long dream’s tail - / no more hanging on, / for dear life has com…

This is one of my old pieces which I translated from Spanish to English. I just saw a piece of my cousin Isa Rodriguez and it reminded me of this poem. You can look it up in Isa Rodriguez and hopefully I will give you the link for her piece later on.
From her slumbers she awakes to the confusion of a new day, / caught in the world of in betweens. / For the sake of her sanity / she looks a…

As my medicine and namesake (WindOwl) thought I’d share an oldie, especially since I’ve put it to an image…
I ache to see you all step out….to wrap yourselves in that cocoon only to emerge more beautiful than you could ever have imagined.
It pains me to see….women with passion, life and vitality…who have it beaten or screamed out of them.
