Marcia Arrieta



electric

hemisphere kitchen threshold cloak wardrobe the oaks the streets
circles span the blanket eccentric gardens gnomes embroider meadows
articulate checkmate story dragon lion diary threads

continent the compass rose



turn right at the house of arbitrary forms





you must travel at night


old curragh

wild birds

beehive huts

solitary scholars

spectral island

one time only to find the hidden lake

do not become impatient

in another land


                   a blank entryway


a tiger’s den       


                               a monastery perched on the cliff


I am attempting to ascertain meaning


                                                                                 the heron reminds me of balance


the blue tape is aligned with the sun

arranged


the days & nights the hours slanted
a yellow moth waits by the door

the path from the cabin through the garden to the house
is worn

upstairs the horizon hovers


unsettled


we are
in the infinite
leaves & light

portfolio:

dragon
tunnel
stars

receptacles


thunder & lightening
a glimpse of a white owl
linked
to water, boats, islands—
corners of wildflowers & arrowheads

part sculpture
part sonata
are the borders of staircases
&
the imaginary

paint the italics as they reach shore
uncover the dichotomy of fire
prehistoric—
the archaeopteryx
circle of nails, circle of leaves



Marcia Arrieta finds herself from here to there—reading Neil Young's Waging Heavy Peace, contemplating Dusti Bongé's art.
