Momentary Butterfly<br />
I wished<br />
a momentary<br />
butterfly<br />
onto the head<br />
of a needle<br />
I held it up<br />
shiny to the winds<br />
from Gaza<br />
it crumbled to<br />
its old dusts<br />
violet and gold<br />
its tiny spars<br />
and filings<br />
fell to the earth<br />
like scalding<br />
drones

Out of Thin Air…<br />
Despite a waning ability to initiate simple tasks, Shozo’s creativity usually<br />
finds a way to emerge, like his visceral response to bright colours and<br />
changing forms evident during our daily August walks.<br />
Brilliance and showiness are the main criteria: he stops to absorb the<br />
neighbours’ displays of red geraniums, flawless lavender dahlias, pollenheavy<br />
goldenrod, and stray French-blue chicory, with no qualms about<br />
snatching a specimen or two. Sometimes he air-traces plant arrangements<br />
the way he would a kanji character, but this time to compliment a nice floral<br />
composition.<br />
Back home, the daily familiarity with surroundings and the infrequency of<br />
novelty means more scrutiny is needed to “discover” potential art materials.<br />
Sometimes it takes the introduction of a new object, like the blue and red<br />
castanets he recently “acquired” during a music activity at the day program;<br />
or the fleet recognition of the aesthetic potential of a paring knife. …And<br />
then, voila.
