Books of Ether Vol.4 - Growing Trees (collaboration with Cheryl Penn)
Growing Trees is a poem about making roots
in our own garden and extending branches towards
the world outside.
It's about taking care and caring, about the gardeners
that we all are.
Marie Wintzer
Don't second-guess
growing trees
write off
the unanswerable questions
plant every seed
springing forth -
a compatible labyrinth
welcome to the secret world
Cheryl Penn

They said to him you don’t take
care of yourself in the midst of
of you/words/paint/roots
your memory may be wiped
but your hat was on
I could not see your eyes
inRows upon Rows
care of yourself in the midst of
mimosa madness
we shall have to get
someone fake to take careof you/words/paint/roots
your memory may be wiped
but your hat was on
I could not see your eyes
inRows upon Rows
of Phylogenic Trees.
You had a dream
Sit down, I will tell you
running backwards
with your hair
in your face
in a parallel world
where even Time cannot fly.
That's nice, but
can we make a living
with those shrubs
or are they only going to grow
roots-into-blind-pipes?
You know their mirrors
aren't that acute anymore
Are you sewed-up?

Are you sewed-up?
collecting shattered glass roots
hitting dust from bookseagles on wooden cupboards
mirrored in dirty bowls
everything is off
when we dream backwards
in a discarded house.
Hey Dad
it’s Madison (from a parallel world
Sans trees)
how are you
fine, you

Maybe you should seethe Taxman on the Hill(he irons his electricity bills
but they don't love him back).
He too
lost connection
lost his mind on the Light Rail
lost his wedding ring in the mailbox
lost a decade of photographs
lost all craving for junk food
lost the remote while TV was watching him
It won't be long until
Dust relapses into Libraries
but they don't love him back).

Earthly [new e-book by Books of Ether] now available for free download!
Made
of Clay.
Taken
from the dust of the earth, these books became something else, data images that
happened in Ether Realms. It’s always trying to breathe new life
into old ideas - like us, they’re never quite ready to die.
Cheryl Penn
Making
books out of clay,
the
work of a potter [shaping soil into pages]
the
work of a writer [chiseling words out of sodden earth]
the
work of a gardener [growing roots across fields]
the
work of an architect [building stories through dust]
the
work of a musician [composing songs engraved in ether]
The
beauty of those clay books needed no enhancement, their stunning naked aura was
evident to any eyes curious enough to see. But one can always demand more of
books…
