the elemental physics,

the elemental ex modo praescripto.

OULIPO, Form is (N+7) where nouns are substituted with the words seventh after them in the dictionary used by the author, Latin translation “after the manner prescribed”.

The Summer of Music

American Robin's (Turdus migratorius) eggs, second brood

Dust and flower pollen seems to

   lay

   low for days in this town,

    for the rains

    fall and with the aid of

   light, miniatures of what’s around

can be seen on the drops at eye

   level as they pass, while the cosmos moves

and is a chessboard of relativity. With

the intermittent white

   light spectrum with the pitch of night,

and this we fly across,

I with one wing,

you with the other,

realizing that each is as

real as stones, rivers, trees, automobiles,

houses, corporations, other animals,

governments, civilization; but this

might be digression.

This is supposed to be about summer and music…

We look again at the robin’s blue eggs,

and think of the music the robins will make.

La Música de Verano

   Polvo y polen de las flores

   parace que

     laico bajo para

     los días en ésta ciudad

   porque las precipitaciones, y con

     la ayuda de

     luz, miniaturas de lo que hay alrededor

se puede observer en las gotas

al nivel del ojos a medida que pasam,

mientras que el cosmos se mueve 
y es un tablero de ajedrez de la relatividad.

El espectro de la luz blanca intermittente

con la brea de noche,

 y esto nos volar a través de,

yo tengo un ala,

usted tiene la otra,

dando cuenta de que cada uno es tan real como

     las piedras, los ríos, los árboles,

automóviles, casas, empresas,

otros animals, los gobiemos,

     la civilización, pero esto

   podría ser digression, esto

se supone que es en el verano y la música…

Miramos de nuevo en huevos azules del petirrojo

y pensamos de la música de los petirrojos harán.

ΈΡΜΕΣ ό ΄ΆΓΓΕΛΟΣ Pastel (finger painting) 36 in. x 54 in. or 91.44 cm. x 137.16 cm.

Free

     airborne steps

     aviation perhaps

          restricted by

  mountainous

           ridges, horns and

       paramount

       peaks.

  Movement in a dance with

     Aurora

            Borealis,

       passing nebulous water

   over jungle, desert,

forest,

        yucca plains.

  Movement, not like a

            bird

            but like the

            breeze, a flight driven

            by the divine

            bearing a simple

  message,

      hear the

         wind

         within and

         without. 

Poetry and pastel musically inspired by Gustav Holst's "The Planets: 3rd Movement" 

Causal Inference of Moving Forward

"Moving Forward", 2006, 36 in. x 54 in. Pastel with sumi ink

The 

stars

having

in their way

gone supernova

releasing all their elements

in stellar arrangements of surreal nebula.

The

quartz

beaches

transported,

bear the brunt of all

kinds of weathering without stain,

numbers of hard hexagons, they form soft, sinking sand.

The

words,

at first

perhaps only

spoken, then written

in ephemeral bravura

that reveals point and counterpoint into crescendo.

Then

the

water

so fresh that

slides down the throat while

standing beneath the desert clouds

forming, shifting, undulating, chasing across sky.

These

all became

crystalline and tangible.

Stars, quartz, words, water,

permutations when we shook hands

This is a "Fib-Ferm" form. I developed this based on the Fibonacci sequence and the golden spiral, as well as expressing the golden angle which is the constant multiplied by the index number of the floret in the Fermat spiral. The restrictions are syllabic, where the syllables of each line are summed to form the integer in the sequence of the line for the "Fib" sections, which was developed in Indian mathematics and Sanskrit prosody. For the "Ferm" section which follows any positive number of "Fibs", the syllables are summed to form the integers of each line corresponding to expressing the golden angle of 137.508; where the period holds the value of the decimal at the end of the third line. In the "Fib-Ferm" form commas hold no mathematical value but only serve grammatical purposes such as: dependent clauses, pauses or breathing, and replacement of the conjunction "and." The number of "Fibs" forms the value "n" or the integer value of the florets multiplied by the "Ferm" value which finds the "theta" or angle of the Fermat spiral being expressed in the poetry. There are no restrictions as to content.
