Very Eerie Pre Halloween Art for the 25th of September in the 2026 fall show . . .

spinning in air as the winds start to swirl and the ancient soothsayer in the back of the last grotto awakens . . . a fortune to forecast and not a minute too soon . . . a hissing of who knows what followed by dried up and dead flower buds moving in vast circles as though they were atop waves on a shiny sea like the ones they sacrifice to the sea goddess every year . . .

meandering on air on the tip of a cloud soaring over the sea as way to the south where the frozen seas meet the sky a buzzing and then a spark . . . bees it is but of a different kind . . . rising in a ball to blot out the sun and then starting to grow . . . sideways in an endlessly circling ribbon and then beginning to tilt as they head towards the land . . . tips of their wings shooting off things that look like sparklers stuck in a baked alaska but not of the celebratory kind . . . just what are they for even the bees cannot say . . . oh no . . . a ship sunk with a shock from one . . . time to hide . . . the cave down on the beach . . . a climb down the cliff and into the water . . . just needing the tide a little up . . . that would work.

An envisioning. 2008. Saturday and eleven o’clock heading into eleven thirty, at the apartment on Fifth Avenue.

Oh to be here.

New York with the tweens all sitting on the sofa clutching their cell phones while the sourdough bread rises in the kitchen. A new Martha Stewart recipe and a husband who doesn’t always like those, but all the strange herbs left out. Hopefully it will taste like his grandmother’s bread. Living in memory, it is, with hot loaves left to cool on racks and grandchildren who dug out the middle with a spoon and snacked away, the butter running down their chins. That wonderful, but trying to capture every bread moment in real time impossible.

sparking in air as somewhere in the back of the beyond the monks in the upper reaches of the abandoned monastery church begin to chant . . . stained glass windows gone to shards and the floor of the nave to grass . . . a peek in on tiptoes as the procession begins . . . incense in front being swayed in arcs and a cat and donkey in the back making the most dreadful howls . . .

An envisioning. 2023 and mid-afternoon, arriving to the toot of the school bus driver’s horn at the house outside Nome.
