Poem a Week<br />
Gary Michael Dault<br />
March Winds<br />
March winds, both feet on the ground*<br />
rush not to get levered like snow<br />
they clear their throats<br />
blow, crack their cheeks<br />
someone has left<br />
an old teakettle<br />
on our front lawn<br />
it whistles in the wind<br />
when you pick it up<br />
and listen at its spout<br />
you can hear a rusty ocean<br />
the wind will die down<br />
squirrels are wrapped in its blanket<br />
birds start to cancel flights<br />

Mexico (January, 2019) – We arrived at Uxmal,<br />
delirious from our morning escapade into one<br />
of the many cavernous cenotes in the region.<br />
I took my own path navigating the world<br />
heritage site; while the entourage ran from one<br />
end to the other. The scenic route allowed me<br />
to revisit some of the more memorable haunts,<br />
despite not repeating my ascent to the top of<br />
Pyramid of the Magician.

winter: ii<br />
Snow, leaning slight in its proficiency and desire<br />
tock, tap, tumbled over<br />
and then you rose slipping up upon the air<br />
as a snapping deciduous caught in the tongue of a November updraft,<br />
sound splintering and thoughts specking<br />
as the rain transformed to white song drifts over and away<br />
teethed downward toward the heart buried in the ground:<br />
there go the thoughts, there rain’d the touch, there raced the tail of some copperysuch twig.<br />
Winter calling you across the globe, dreamsong.<br />
But now<br />
what to do with the creek in the neck<br />
the cringe stiffened from watching words drift skyward, transformed breath,<br />
a meerkcat in defense of the sky, the heart<br />
Suricata suricatta,<br />
surrender when the strain comes not from vanity but from the only thing that makes sense<br />
the defied, you defied gravity<br />
pulled me kiteward and made sure we accumulated there:<br />
in the vein of the crook of an aging ligature<br />
in the wash of fractals and limbs,<br />
hearts drifting over the land, the dead, the living and the going,<br />
left, right and the slightly leaning.<br />
We a flurry of blanket alabaster, souls ondinging.<br />
Digging out from the sky’s traveling,<br />
the known unraveling<br />
the skift scattering, a speed boat of cognition traveling in stealth<br />
neve, known and our cornsnow joining, winged.<br />
Away the day and what was spun, osteology’s scaffolding<br />
all of what you have penned<br />
all of what you have kept<br />
all of what you once buried in the back of the yard gone frozen<br />
all of what you once built from trunk and twig and promise gone<br />
we race snow-pawed toward the thawing heart, amending<br />
we gloam our ardor wide and the land unbuckles, still.

The city isn‘t dead, it’s alive,<br />
To suffocate you; in brightest places<br />
It buries you, in the midst<br />
Of a crowd. We go forward in the same direction<br />
But time moves faster than you —<br />
The physics of spacetime gets us to settle down<br />
And we pretend we understand it, accepting that<br />
Everyday<br />
Is merely Halloween when<br />
Some living happily play ghosts, while ghosts<br />
Can only be seen by a few of the living who<br />
Are unwilling to acknowledge it.<br />
That night,<br />
The colourful candies inside the pockets<br />
Are really what they call an aspartyl<br />
phenylalanine methyl ester-ish colour blindness.<br />
And at night there aren’t<br />
Any poisonous trees, or poisonous fruits.<br />
The reason for our passing is the brains’<br />
Extended immersion of the same information that leads to starvation but<br />
The city isn’t dead. It is alive<br />
Withering away.

From the fifties to the nineties, through photographs, homemade films, recordings and<br />
collections, Vivian Maier assembled one of the most fascinating windows into American life<br />
in the second half of the twentieth century.<br />

ARTIFACT: OP NEWS<br />
(To build up a good<br />
collection of original<br />
photograph you might<br />
not have to invest<br />
enormous sums of<br />
money..)
After Holly and Ka-sing resided in Toronto, their studio in<br />
Hong Kong was transformed into a photography gallery.<br />
OP NEWS is a newsletter for the gallery events and also,<br />
to promote the OP Print Program. OP is a program on<br />
collection photographs, Holly and Ka-sing set up in 1995<br />
while they were in Hong Kong.<br />
OP NEWS, published quarterly, is in size of 8.5 x 11 inch,<br />
eight pages each issue, with print-runs of 1000 copies, the<br />
first issue was published in January 1997. 6 issues were<br />
published.<br />
Reprinted here is the issue 2/2, published in September<br />
1998, a special issue featuring a selection of 100<br />
photographs from the OP Print Program. All these prints<br />
were 8x10, released in 20 editions, black and white in fibrebased<br />
silver photographs, or colour c-type prints, signed by<br />
the authors, each sealed with OP blind stamp. When these<br />
prints were released, they were all at a flat price of US$150<br />
each, in today, if available, the price varies from US$500 to<br />
US$1500 each. Of course, there are some exceptions, in a<br />
recent auction at Sotheby’s, an 8x10 photograph from this<br />
program was hammered for US$15000.
OP NEWS, issue 2/1, published March 1998. The first<br />
opening page features the inauguration opening of the OP<br />
fotogallery in Hong Kong.
