SONGS OF FUTURE EGYPT (old poem, new graphic)

• SONGS OF FUTURE EGYPT by Simon Drax • I wish this were a mirage woven for our cameras. But I saw it. I was there. The old woman blew in from the desert like a broken-winged bird, she planted her feet in the Valley of Kings and managed the levitation of the pyramids, coaxed [...]

Victory at Sea (for Damien, again and always)

• Imagine for a moment we were never born… • • never carved from the misplaced passion of our parents, never carried from room to room and gently told this is that and that is this, never set down to dry  in the sun after splashing all afternoon in our rubber pool and dream of driving [...]

Cycling to Africa to Save the Elephants

Lament of The Corpse on His Cross

• Oh Father, grant me sight, my eyes are imperfect, they insist on crying every night I dream of you as I wander through this cathedral of steel and floor of crushed skulls, my legs splinter, I kneel, my mouth shaping songs old with all words forgotten, I count every breath, I wait for your wail to split the sky, to fall [...]
