White Half-Sunk Boat

The pear on the porcelain plate desires
soft caress of delicate leaves to feel
passion of hundred million open doors
that call the old man in white half-sunk boat
who splashes river water to explain
how generosity

Road Of Anywhere

Through half-deserted streets of Lonely Town
I drive my car on road of anywhere
to find cheap hotel of insidious hope
where no one talks of Michelangelo
for none would dare disturb the universe
at sudden laughter of

Mask Of Ironic Jesus

While wrestling windy shadows of my mind
that buzz electric moonlight through my body,
I sing ethereal sorrow of the sea
in heart-wrenching melodies of despair
to highlight beauty of this eerie world
that shimmers

Until The Hour I Return

Until the hour I return from the Earth,
breaking free from the egg of humanhood,
my heart wears godless mask of singing stone
with dramatic stubbornness of the tree
that curls roots into body of my soul
so I

in Twin Towers of business and government
to destroy our global democracy,
we rally round bright flag of Liberty

Twisted Black Boughs

White apple blossoms on twisted black boughs
confuse my heart with ancient memories
that must have been experienced long ago
by nameless ancestors who must be mine
for all their memories program how I think,

Never Take Us Home

Though I could try to believe anything
I prefer to measure reality
with objective words I steal from the moon
by speaking thoughts the trees breathe out as air
which translates firmament of crystal eyes

One With Sand Dunes

I become one with sand dunes by the sea
to face the empire warship off the coast
and chant with voice of wind to indicate
cry of the heart that people hide in words
for we are dream technicians of the mind

Fierce Eagle of Zeus, with valorous grace,
glides over vast maze of America
hunting for the tyrant with monstrous face
who hides his rage in cave of Attica,
then swoops to help Serpent Queen Melusine

Our Mortality

Though stars shine on the stretch of snowy road
which I follow to the ends of the Earth,
I savor strange miracle of being alive
as conscious clump of random particles
that blink bright as the lonely traffic light

Detention In Paradise

Dancing wild in rainbows of Crystal Henge
with wings of resurrection open wide,
I translate scream of the white butterfly
to every sad song sung by human voice
as witness to eternity of now,

Breathe To Bend Sunlight

With ancient words of star-soul in raindrops
I try to bend sunlight with my bare hands
to channel chaos of weird energy
into organic bodies beaming souls
who bloom from passion of the hungry soil

New paper on the telegraph line is out! It’s a #microhistory of Strangways Springs//Pangki Warruna, exploring its evolution from a #pastoral property to a #telegraph station to a #railway stop, and how these transitions shaped innovation in #Australia 🤩📝

We also highlight the importance of #water in creating and sustaining these innovations (as is the case for technologies of today like #AI 😉).

link.springer.com/article/10.1

SpringerLinkWool, Wires and Water: Technological Transitions at Strangways Springs - International Journal of Historical ArchaeologyThe Strangways Springs artesian mound spring complex in South Australia reveals a layered history in which resources, technology, labor, and culture are significant and changing variables. The site exists in Arabana country, and for thousands of years provided a location for human shelter, artesian waters, and life sustaining resources. The arrival of sheep stations in the “Far North” of South Australia represented a significant rupture and the creation of a new kind of economy based on wool. The establishment of an overland telegraph repeater station brought the latest technological developments to this remote frontier, which had the information of the world available instantly. Other developments such as the railway and wool scouring further secured the importance of locations like Strangways Springs in the continent's colonial infrastructure. This microhistory uses archaeology, archival research, and photography to explore these technological transitions and their impacts at Strangways Springs in the nineteenth century, providing important insights into the sociotechnical nexus that characterized emerging colonial worlds and new forms of modernity in settler Australia.

Escaping cathedral of haughty devils,
Jupiter leaps on horse of honesty
to race fate against arrogance of leopards
who enslave workers in maze of myths
when saints praying in church turn into zombies

When I wake up with wings spread from my heart

so bird of happiness flies toward the moon
