Head to Toe

Living Dolls
Mannequins – partially animated,
Walking Shoes
Footwear – highly elevated,
Terrain between Head and Toe
Uncharted

Holograms
of Hollow Humans
Hover Helplessly
To Have and Hold
Hot  Hashtags

We post images
of life unlived,
capture forever
the second life…..
“doing it for the gram”

Sun rises
Earth stretches
“the-more-than-human-world”*
Awakes
A New Day Begins.

A story or poem follows me around for a while, I write it down to get it out of my head and sometimes after rereading it seems universal enough that I hope it might also speak to someone else. One thing that has become clear is the photography and the writing seem to be morphing into one, the photograph being the muse for the words or the words for the photograph.....and then a quote I find from someone who had the talent to put what I am trying to say into a few precise sentences.

  2. Hello Dear One…Trying again to respond again on this site. So perhaps the effort to do so relates however distantly to the theme of your writing. I am not sure if this … my motivation to respond to your thoughts promoting the needed “introspectiveness” of life will reach you❤️🙏🌲🐳

    1. Thank you for reading Ivor. The two photos ,taken years apart, sort of melted together in a comment on them emptyheadedness sometimes seen on social media in many forms.
      The fact also that most of us tend to live in our head not fully inhabiting our bodies. Contrasted by the grounded living of the ‘more-than-human-world that we share the planet with.
