I'm not writing
Poetry
I'm having ***
Same thing
Actually
Patricia Drake May 2013
***
With their celluloid lakes
inviting,
their every crevice open
for exploration
and hands gesturing
groups and individuals
to come inside
they offer lifts
and roller coaster rides
augmenting reality
in sensory 4D

He presses the button
and we both enter
going up
Patricia Drake May 2013
A kiss
Like breathing for the first time
A storm in my face
Syllables
Air

Rain
Like sensing touch for the first time
Exquisite light pain
Words
Rain

And the cool softness of steel
Against my neck
I shiver
Patricia Drake May 2013
My world does not exist
it is white
two dimensional in three dimensions
and white
colourless, reduced
only perspective in white
ropes
on and across walls
no pain
no emotions
only ROOM
the room exists
without being anything but
space
a concept
an idea
some nails
and a stack of ropes
to play God with
Patricia Drake May 2013
This room has a chair hanging from the ceiling like a parachute for escaping a burning plane, and it has another hard copy hanging from the wall. Everywhere you will find a chair. You only need to look.
Patricia Drake May 2013
I want to sleep
on the round softness
of Nina Saunders' disproportional ball

Upside down
Climbing the wall
but my dreams
are twisted

disturbed
by the dagger penetrating puberty
and the cool still life
silently killing - youth
on the surrounding walls
(of a journey through the local Museum of Contemporary Art)
Patricia Drake May 2013
Art
when skill
and agenda
are combined
with sense
of narrative
