Make no mistake; flowers have inside voices. Consider, the poppy. Here's one to get you started:

ReplyDeleteabout the small painting in my room which I cannot seem to discard and yet find hard to look at:
House of 1,000 memories
whimsy of creatures surrounding a central figure which sits on a small chair, back to viewer, apparently naked, stairs with creatures in and out of them, jumping and careening off them, gleeful smiles, waving, and yet...
to me it signals chaos, imminent danger, ghosts of those departed
people stepping on rubber balls which by the laws of physics they will fall off
colors resembling popsicles
pastels enchanting, disillusioning danger
how can it go wrong in a world of pastels???
that which has been rubbed out of the picture more noticeable than that which is left in?
the call of the missing
survivors
the figure looks at a seesaw
those taken not on the playground right now
