a year of crows

Posted on Posted in A Symbol Life, as written, overnight notes, picture post

The redheads, the red breasts, are back sitting on rocks in the front garden . she, wearing brown, is warming on the small round white rocks. riverbed eggs.

a year ago the widows were made. today one is getting a housemate. next door is moving to a single apartment.

I couldn’t always hear her clearly .. she spoke with purpose –I never always understood the intent, the sounds they make ..

say the words your first thought as you thought them, then rearrange them .. The principle of take the photograph you see when you first see it before taking the better one ..

Seems it was a planned series of posts... much collected references, along with short impressions. Berman's Semina Culture seems to have been assigned a Tuesday date. Wonder why I never finished the set.

Wallace Berman,(February 18, 1926 – February 18, 1976 [50]. Key terms in his work: Semina, a mail art publication published between 1955 and 1964, and Aleph, his long term film making project. It runs only 6 minutes, but took him from 1958 til 1976 to make. Stan Brackhage salvaged the 8mm film with a conversion to 16mm to be shown.

He appeared in Easy Rider (1969). Berman died on his 50th birthday, a prediction from childhood. He was killed by a drunk driver.
