i always thought that comparing photography to painting would be hard, but then i read an article about a girl with a baguette, in the jardin de plantes looking up at a kerfuffle being pestered by sparrows, having henri cartier-bresson take a picture and i thought... *one brush stroke of colour, after watching a blank canvas for about an hour.*

"good luck," they think it means. brides, grooms, hell, even the kids in the club. and the notion that the phrase comes with the shattering of glass under a custom print napkin-- just wrong. it's important to be mindful of what mazel tov means in that moment, sure, but it's also important to be mindful of what mazel tov means in the everyday. the ritual. see, mazel tov means "what good fortune." and I know, I know, sounds pretty **** close to "good luck." but think about the glass. all these tiny pieces to pick up and you say, "good luck." have fun picking up the shards. don't cut your finger. saying "good luck" in that moment makes you an *** but "what good fortune" sounds like you got something up your sleeve. and you should. in this life, always. always a few tricks. you know when I was little, my mother asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I told her, I said, "I want to be a magician." her response, "you can't do both." she's right. that's no profession for an adult, but you can be an adult and a magician on the side, as a hobby, that's alright. wait. what was I talking about? magicians, magicians, oh. tricks. how else are you going to get by? mazel tov is a mind trick. see, we say "what good fortune" when the glass breaks to reframe the situation. what's your reaction to that sound? your ears perk up-- if ears can actually do that, I don't know-- the hairs on your neck stand up. I guess they can't really stand in the conventional sense, but, well, you feel the space of a room. and after that beautiful sound, and I mean beautiful, you are forced to take everything else into account. you don't want anything else to break. what matters most, you know? that's why we say "what good fortune." I'm delighted to know something as worthless as glass has broken. because now I'm more careful with what's valuable to me. right? you spill soda on a cloth seat in your new car. mazel tov. now you don't have to be paranoid every time your nephew climbs in with an Icee. it's material crap. just crap. you're alive. you've got a car. be thankful for what you have. reframe, you know? your girlfriend, your wife leaves you for a former high school quarterback turned owner of a lawn service company. another casualty of the sweaty, lemonade-fueled fantasy. once again, mazel tov. you are so lucky you didn't spend the rest of your life with her. the glass shattered. it's a beautiful sound.

Dear Poet Friends, having read Henri Bergson’s ‘’Creative Evolution’’, which won him the Noble Prize for Literature and is now considered a Classic, I was impressed by his words, ‘’Life does not end with death. It conquers death through reproduction……..and creative evolution.’’ Bergson’s book inspired me to compose this poem way back in 2008, and post it on ‘Poem Hunter.com’. Hope you like this short and simple poem. Thanks, - Raj. THE CHURCH AND THE GRAVEYARD The Graveyard lies silent behind the Church’s cool shade, As the shadow of the belfry tower falls over the world of the dead. Perhaps they are mysteriously compatible in certain ways! Through the front door of the Church we enter; And with passage of time through the rear door we exit and go, Forever mingling with Life’s eternal flow. In the Church marriages are solemnised. New born babies are christened and baptised. Hymns and sermons are heard on Sabbath Days, People kneel down in silence to pray. Some to repent and confess, - To seek salvation and are blessed. And when the older generation pass away, In the graveyard behind the church they are laid to rest. Yet amidst death Life goes on ....... With peels of bells and chorus songs. The world of the dead is surrounded by Life, Our younger generations live and thrive. For the epitaph cannot bury Life’s eternal song! Green grass grows around the dead, And trees showers flowers from overhead. Bouquets of roses on cold marble slabs, With fond memories a tear drop is shed, In loss of the loved one, now in the world of the dead! While Life surges, swirls, and flows all around, As the dead lie in their graves where silence surrounds. New Life sprouts, and memories slowly fade ……. The Graveyard lies in the Church’s cool shade! -Raj Nandy.

***** Attacked by a Jaguar, after Henri Rousseau* Unaware, arms sway. Attentive green gazes at a tuxedoed man and his broken bride. Pink perfume glides over the jade scene. A red disco light hovers above raised limbs, spinning stardust rain down upon them. In the corner he hides -- peering around fibre-optic shrubs. Blackening this white moment. On the ballroom floor they dance. Rendezvous in the Forest, after Henri Rousseau In the wilderness they meet, horsebacked, whispering nothing sweet, meaningless. Captain courts, seeking victory beneath bare branches... hidden where all can see. Curious trees bend to view the scene below. The lady's palace chaperones her mistress from faraway brush. Antiqued cotton tufts frown overhead, lost souls driving by wreckage. Vultures. Scavengers of hunting season. Pausing to behold the carnage of predator and prey.

Ekphrastic Poetry based on Two Paintings by Henri Rousseau
To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought. The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. The only cure for vanity is laughter, and the only fault that is laughable is vanity. The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause. Religion is to mysticism what popularization is to science. Spirit borrows from matter the perceptions on which it feeds and restores them to matter in the form of movements which it has stamped with its own freedom. There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation. Laughter is the corrective force which prevents us from becoming cranks. Intelligence is the faculty of making artificial objects, especially tools to make tools. **** sapiens, the only creature endowed with reason, is also the only creature to pin its existence on things unreasonable. The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause. It seems that laughter needs an echo. To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. When we make the cerebral state the beginning of an action, and in no sense the condition of a perception, we place the perceived images of things outside the image of our body, and thus replace perception within the things themselves. The motive power of democracy is love. Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/henri_bergson

I didn't take a photograph of the statue of Robert Burns. His sightless eyes were looking out over Dunedin, the most Scottish town in the southern hemisphere, and there was a seagull, not a pigeon, standing on his head. I would have called it "Robbie Burns and Friend." And I didn't take a picture of the bus shelter painted all over with jungle foliage and a tiger peeping out over the simulated signature of Henri Rousseau. The title would have been "This Bus Shelter is a Forgery." Neither did I photograph another painted wall, one round a cemetery full of ornate and sombre tombs, with a large and skilfully executed advertisement - Renta Sanitarios Mobiles (Hire Mobile Toilets). It would have been called "Is there no Respect for the Dead?" I didn't take the photo of a Fijian policeman. A pity, for he had such a practical uniform, very smart and cool, in a tasteful shade of policeman-blue, based on the traditional sulu with a striking zigzag hem. The title would have been "A Policeman in a Skirt?!" I couldn't take a photograph of sunset over Popocatépetl – although the sun was setting in a red and golden haze, and the most romantically named mountain is just what you imagine a perfect volcano should be, even to the wisp of steam at the peak – because the sun was actually setting over Ixtaccíhuatl and "Sunset over Ixtaccíhuatl" doesn't have quite the right ring The shape of the mountain is not very picturesque either. Yes, I would have called that one "Sunset over Popocatépetl" – if I could have taken it. My camera wouldn't focus on the crescent moon hanging over the Egyptian skyline, horns pointing up, so close to the Equator, and the evening star (Venus or some more ancient goddess) just above and almost between the points. If that one had worked it would have been called "Islamic Moon." I couldn't possibly have taken a photograph that would do any justice to the young piano student in a Hungarian castle hammering out Liszt as if the hounds of hell were after her, but if I could, I would have had to call it "Apassionata." And I didn't even have time to get my camera out to take a picture of the wild humming bird darting green and unconcerned among dilapidated tenements in the heart of Mexico City. But that living jewel shines bright in my memory, even without a photo. I don't know what I would have called that one, and I'm sure it doesn't matter.

(the reconvening of my mind) It's always the extremes that bring me back to center, but it's the trips I take on purpose that remind me its time to go home. Today it was the thought of blood. I cannot stand the sight of it, and neither would I brave a plunge in icy depths this time of year. I’d rather gather sunlight and convince myself there are no ghost revivals, only blood reprisals from daddy's DNA. I tell myself I need to get away to where I can pray again, to quit giving in, to stay and fight wars, the black, the white, the gray fluttering darkness that comes out of nowhere swooping past my ear, scaring the **** out of me as if it never happened before but it has, its just been a while. So I call for a council of angels, then prepare for the riptide of demons that join the fun when my cranial convention convenes. The left against the right, The east against the west, The pros against the cons, all the ups and downs, I don’t give a **** what it is just give me back my wars. Give me back my reasons to live. Give me Nietzsche Give me Brennan Manning Give me Sam Harris Give me Frederick Buechner Give me Bertrand Russell Give me Henri Nouwen Give me Daniel Dennett Give me Gerald May Give me M Scott Peck Give me Pia Mellody Give me Dante Give me Jane Kenyon Give me the Marquis de Sade Give me Dostoyevsky and that should just about do it. Within these names exist enough controversy, enough conflicting views on life, on love, on God, enough heresy, enough truth, enough lies, enough knowledge, enough beauty to keep me waging wars inside my head until the day I die. Give me back my wars.

I finished moving into my residential college as a storm began - fat raindrops, as big as coconuts, falling from a black and fouling sky. These northerners were acting like a "tropical storm" (Henri) was a big deal. “Surely New England gets storms?” I ask, from behind my mask. “What about NOR_Easters?” I say, like a meteorologist. “Those are different.” I’m told, with no other explanation. “Did you bring this storm from the “SOUTH?” I’m asked, accusingly. (This was after I told them about coming from one ”bulldog-college-town” to another.) “Yes.” I reply, “It was in my luggage.” A silly question but they have a point - the storm feels like it’s involved and fulfilling some obligation to dramatize my college move-in story. “Time to quarantine!” I’m informed - “Yep, can’t WAIT!” I lie. One disaster at a time.

Henri Matisse, Jazz when silence gives away its name birds become electric darkness is no more a story in their wooden beaks I stay at the beginning of thought, decelerate reality again and again bread, pain, blindness truth visits me in my dreams sometimes between desire & dying shortcuts, blind alleys Shangri-La and Valhalla Nirvana & the hunting ground Guadalupe untitled self-portraits fast heights blinds & shutters Spinoza's abyss the chasm of reason Kant's please mind the gap pits of harmony barren grounds Prigogine's broken circle lost aesthetic qualities and the bit moves on when silence is an unfinished canvas waters, faces make an offering and their names grow when I am confused with the possibility of the sea level then I know where my love is splitting every single second is beauty unadorned could I remove the decimal point from my dying breath ?

unadorned
This is his Henri Julian Rousseau taboo land, here he appears as the lion night after night, with his tail stiffened, erect--but the Gypsy wasn't there Bathed in psychedelic strobe lights, now here on a plush confession table doubling as their stage his Gypsy lies spread-eagled,   til there is no secrets left in her body, he now tries to pry open the many chambers of her peripatetic mind. With a lingering kiss, he in vain tries to arrest her never subdued spirit and begins his secret rituals for the angel of sin, black magic maiden, yin for his yang who in ways direct, sly or by allusion, is the bestower of a million forbidden pleasures,  whispering,like a mantra thus: "There is no right or wrong, all illusions, within an imagined truth" which made him stray, albeit, within the labyrinth like innumerous men of power, which they gained shedding blood, sweat and tears; as if there is nothing beyond. She who by instinct engineered his downfall from the pantheon of the anointed is finally here but this is no retribution, only return of the favors received, his throbbing lust seeks her deep interior's caresses giving her forgiveness in return, his masculine urges wish to be gripped by her unusual craving, she is melting like butter, her sweet urges fight back in unison they seethe, wreath, roll and race to culminate. On a swing hanging high ,above the poisoned earth for a few sweet transient moments they remain, weep in pleasure til they fall in to slime and crawl back to life --then the Gypsy and the Lion remember nothing .

Kamau Brathwaite wrote That "the hurricane doesn't roar in pentameters" And I really believed it could be true That Caribbean hurricanes had their own cadences, their own dances : Ida was reggae, Allen was merengue Brigitte was gwoka David was cha cha cha and Edith was kadans rampa and Dorian calypso All dactyls hatched instead of iambic pentameters Out of each island Zeus 's head Until i met the still eye of Hurricane Muse. Muse was her nickname Her real name was Shar Named after shark and share and shear and sharon, Named after a calypso rose Fearless except for lizards, a rose of  tiny thorns With a taste of a stormy black coffee Born to a dragon of Jade and a   white *** tigress In the midst of the 1961 hurricane season. Shar has the S of Sébastien Sally Sam Shary Sean and Sara The H of Humberto Hanna Henri Hermine Harold and Hélène The A of Andrea Arthur Ana Alex Arlene and Alberto And the R of  Rebecca René Rose Richard Rina and Rafael And she dances not only calypso And quadrille and zouk But a mix as well of Salsa Hustle Affranchi and Reggae In iambic pentameters While she gently paints fearless green lizards Having her five iambs of coffee First thing in the unstressed and stressed morning Before she even opens the syllables of her still Muse eye.

In the still eye of hurricane Muse
Give me a Sarie tone poem like light on a Monet haystack, or Brazillian Astrud like a Matisse line. Let me lie down in a half-shuttered room in the south of France with Matisse and the soft flutter of heavy -feathered white doves, their mild calls. Only a little time, Henri, before Picasso will come with his big boots. We should take our afternoon.

The fine things worth wishing for
****** those are who forsake the kingdom for the throne And ****** are the weak To be overthrown Blessed those are who practice, preach, and caress The doctrine of the strong If strength they possess Drowning are those who live above the power of the tides Cycles are for no one to escape Truth shall always rise Already deceased are those who believe their mirth shall not diminish All will tell you this Sin greets you not with attack, but a kiss
