Holy Week Means Springtime

1.

In the presence of

 the Lord

 

 

 

 

 

Ecclesiastic frieze

I come in on street level

 

 

Rise Lazarus!

Last Sunday's

Mass hand-out

Madonna and bear

festooned with palms

half-shrouded

 

Lift up your hearts

We have lifted them

up to the Lord

 

Stations of the Cross

Jesus is nailed

to the cross,

INRI

sign to mock Him

Jesus dies on the cross

 

Devotion to the cross

 As he is

I am a pilgrim

as well

 

 

When Jesus

is taken down from the cross

He is as we are

 

Subject to death

but with the expectation

of Resurrection

 

 

 

Back out

the way I came in

 

 

Forever conjoined

in the Communion

of the Saints

 

 

 

2.

Springtime

Elevations

 at sea level

 

 

Leaving church

for the park

Mother Goose

awaits

 

Glorious forthcoming

walkway

never quite done

 

A prototype

Twilight Zone

to come

Colorful map

of our brisk

waterside vicinity

 

 

 

Looking back

to where I just was

and like a votive candle

I continue to be

 

Through

a Jerusalem pine

an arabesque

 

The most curvilinear tree

known to man

 

Here we are now

 

Its always nicer

to be on the grass here

The sun came our for me

 

 

A glimpse inside,

for kids only,

spine of the Elven Press

A Children's

festive and imaginary

place

A half-remembered

adventure through

the Looking Glass

A topsy-turvy

ride on Alice's

merry-go-round

Into the garden

 of Spring

Life in a bird bath

an endless cycle

 

Spring is up

in the trees

 

Back out

the way I came in

 

As ever

Open Air

1.

Artsy Berkeley

Hallway at the

Trump Louie

Aleatory images from a wandering life

Reptile with style

Going to ever-stylish

Berkeley

 Or Ill Noir

as we call it

 The mirrored tree

Bears are beloved
in all the places in  California
where they never show up
alive

 

A lot of gratuitous

flag-waving these days

in olf Berkeley USA

Lawless parking

of construction storage?

Hang a flag on it

Berkeley High drama club

last month it was

The Vagina Monologues

 Ashcan jazz

This is not a mural

It's a digital image

of a wall

 This is Arts Passage

an indoor outdoor gallery

a corridor of art vitrines

en pleine aire

Shadows and reflections
within shadows and reflections
such is the mind's perception

Digital trees

indeed

toward Ghost Nature

Bacon and Swiss

digital art exhibits not

really my cup of tea

 

The house where Wavy lives

Having trouble focusing

 Better hit the road

 

2.

Lakeside Oakland

 Come a little closer

 The paradox

 of the carnivorous flowers

In my curious research

I've returned to the garden

A peaceful place of refuge

or so it seems

for most visitors

 There's one of the constricting

 flower manifestations

that have me concerned



They are covered in bees

So that God may

bless all His creatures

 They look charming but

don't let it nuzzle you

 Formidably some

stand as tall as the trees

 Or nearly so

Egad

this one's bigger than

yon greenhouse

 Almost as big as the house

 Still growing,

will be big as a house

Look it's huge,

OK?

So fond farewells foretold

we withdraw

our habeus corpus intact

The entrance stone

in the slanting sun

easily became

a skull
