Poem a Week<br />

Gary Michael Dault<br />

Entropy<br />

where clammy vines<br />

slid again my cheek<br />

and insected brambles<br />

picked at my hair<br />

and when<br />

after my mothered rescue<br />

I first noticed<br />

the paint-chipped<br />

wainscotting<br />

in our kitchen<br />

and the scowling<br />

curls of heating dust<br />

languid atop<br />

the spidery stovepipe<br />

in my bedroom<br />

when I was child<br />

this seemed like<br />

a thin clean world<br />

white as a paper plate<br />

only a few errors<br />

like a rusty car<br />

here and there<br />

my brand new<br />

morning astringency<br />

was first tempered<br />

when I was invited<br />

to play<br />

in a sudden new<br />

back yard<br />

(door held open<br />

until I went in)<br />

and how<br />

when my stepfather’s friend Ab<br />

dropped by for a drink<br />

the windshield of his car<br />

while not really smashed<br />

was shivered into<br />

a thousand mica-like<br />

shards and flakes<br />

of marzipan-hued glass<br />

you couldn’t see though<br />

and the sun<br />

on his old upholstery<br />

smelled like<br />

the predator vines<br />

in that tumbled garden<br />

next door

France (March, <strong>2022</strong>) – We landed back in<br />

France after a much delayed return to the<br />

familiar. With luck, our arrival coincided in<br />

time for pandemic restrictions to ease and<br />

for life to reanimate with the blossoming of<br />

spring. Our excitement led us to a wondrous<br />

exhibit at Musee Maillol; we roamed around<br />

the large photographic impressions with<br />

listening devices, as McCurry’s voice gave<br />

emotive descriptions of the happenings<br />

beyond the image.

Vancouver from February 14 to March 15 in 1997. This publication<br />

Gallery in Ontario. FOODSCAPE was later exhibited in cities in<br />

FOODSCAPE was an exhibition held at ARTSPEAK Gallery in Vancouver from February<br />

14 to March 15 in 1997. This publication accompanied the event. The exhibition<br />

was later toured to McIntosh Gallery in Ontario. After the exhibition, exhibits were<br />

returned from the institution to Hong Kong. Almost the same time, our family was<br />

settling in Canada. Somehow, the shipment was dislocated and never found. For that<br />

reason, all artworks and publications were lost. I have made two sets for the artwork,<br />

which means I still have an extra set with me, with most of them unmounted. For the<br />

catalogue, it was a small print-run with only 500 counts. Due to lost shipment, the<br />

circulation becomes even less.<br />

FOODSCAPE was later exhibited in cities in Germany, France and Japan, and some of<br />

the exhibitions with newly made work relating to the city it traveled to. The first chapter<br />

of the collaboration project in Vancouver is still the most memorable. This out-of-print<br />

exhibition catalogue becomes a significantly important artifact of the FOODSCAPE<br />

project. In the exhibition in Vancouver, I had ten 30x40 inch canvas prints on the<br />

wall, alongside each, an acrylic shelf supported an open book displaying Ping-kwan’s<br />

bilingual poem.<br />

Ping-kwan left us in 2013, and Martha, the translator, also left some time later in<br />

the same year. This reprint is a small dedication to them and to the memories of the<br />

project. (Ka-sing, <strong>2022</strong>)
