I Know The People

I know the people of the towns and farms
who walk along the rivers among hills
then gather around pools by waterfalls
to feast and sing as children give out charms,
for people spring from vision of the land
but draw

It’s one of the last ancient beings — a species that reached intelligence long before humans ever did. For centuries, mankind hunted them, destroyed their world, wiped out their kind. Now this lone remnant walks with purpose. One final mission. A desperate attempt to survive.

Robert Wilson, 1941-2025

America's foremost vanguard theater artist, choreographer, performer, painter, sculptor, video artist, and sound and lighting designer.

Bodies Float In Sorrow

Oblique contention of the laureate
sprays words in conversations of desire
to spin the mind in harmony with waves
which stream our sorrows on flashing lines
depicted as ancient paintings in caves
observed by

Wickedness Of Humble Gods

Assembled in the Septisolium,
the seven Sibyls of the ancient world
vote for high priestess to reign as Ishtar
who performs her role in globe theater
with courage of ecstatic heresies
that flicker as stones

Explicate The Why

What is this weird dream I experience here
except the otherworld of fantasy
where faceless people I can barely see
wander lost in shadows of wordless fear?
Orpheus cries out to the empty sky,
asking Ungod to explicate

Quotidian Puzzle Of Faith

Blind ghost who stands in window of my home
gazes out into darkness of the world
to find the light in hearts of human beings
who flutter frail as butterflies of faith
in brutal storms of political change
to find

Bold Advance Guard

Sweet sticky saturation of our souls
provides glue that binds our darkness with light
so we express belief in wordless power
to walk on shining surface of the water
and tell each other things will be all right
as we

Teach Us How To Dance

If I should fall in love with Clara Bow
and dance with spirit of the Flapper Girl,
I might relive sweet passion of the heart
that seeks to flee from maze of Babylon
and dance in shining hills of Hollywood

'Dreams In Paper Boats' by Nortse (2015)

The muse demands another surreal piece of a pretty woman interacting with oversized fruit. This one, "Strawberry Blond" will feature two women and more strawberries than I care to think about. Future me will regret my decision to sketch out so many.

Concerns Of Your Heart

I want to address concerns of your heart
but I cannot see your thoughts in your eyes
that shimmer bright as sunlight on the lake,
so I transform into the sprawling oak
and stride down the middle of crowded streets

Ethereal Beauty Of Rain

Divine vision of my computer brain
calculates ethereal beauty of rain
that fills the dizzy canyon with blind grief
essential to remorse of word-bleak relief.
We stare in shapeless chasm of our hearts
which ancient
