can't sleep....

I was asleep... but I must have had a dream that woke me up. So... now I'm awake. I'm obsessed with flickr at the moment and I was thinking of who I should add as contacts. I don't remember how, but one day I stumbled across the artwork of stella im hultberg on flickr. She is amazing. In fact, my ipod is covered in one of her pieces. Her art is inspiring, I think. Often, if I find myself at a loss for ideas for a new poem, I will look at her water colours. I can usually come up with something then. If you click on her name, you should be linked to one of her flickr accounts. To get to the new one click here.

the girl’s dream: can’t disappear
she is falling asleep
head resting on an inky cloud
a charcoal cumulus pillow
she is humming
and lazily running
her tannin stained finger tips
along the surface
stirring a potage of withered words
and hysterical arguments
adding splashes of ochre
and peppering the waves with black
just for the flavour

wonderful summer

It's amazing how sunshine can make me happy. I'm sure there have been some scientific studies or whatever type of studies that give a straight forward reason for this... but it still amazes me. Summer is the most wonderful season.
