Chemo

Chemo (2007)

[Click on the image above to see the view with binoculars.]

Chemicals that kill cells
affect the whole body. One stop shopping
for fatigue. Dignity in a hairpiece
covering chemo brain is a see-through
trick. Big words like
everything else fall out fast.
Relax aggressively.
Otherwise
your style and sense of humor
go first.

Disclosure

Disclosure (2007)

[Click on image above to see the view with binoculars.]

A computer specialist gives out
information in new directions while still gripping
the thematic. No one pays me
to allow artistic expression or to prevent
your voice becoming an ad. The act
of making something obvious is becoming easier
to learn. Query your candidate
on the number of revisions. Your reporting
entity will not be liable for downloads
of new rules. Please let me know if a former flame
is committed to ethics, pre-sale protocol
like your cryptogram
of emotional riddles and a packed
thesaurus that became the norm
for passable vulnerability
and a provision for bad birth parents
based on what bile you file.

The Supreme Court could murder.
Guantánamo is ready to fight back --
riotous, riveting yet as humorless
as

every other server. Church documents
canvass accusers of Socrates until
doctors deliver living comments and one
baby.

Carrion

Carrion (2008)

[Click on the image above to see the view with binoculars.]

Rilke, as one of the important letters show, mused on the fact that Cezanne's favorite poem was Baudelaire's "La Charogne" ("Carrion"), where dead flesh is made beautiful, not in the conventional sense, but in Baudelaire's ability to raise carrion out of the conventional formats and value structures which had left its beauty unarticulated. If, in Cezanne, painting allows that which was formerly unseen to be seen, "La Charogne" allows that which was formerly inarticulate to be heard.
--Michael Heller

From the "Flowers of Evil" series. Poem by Charles Baudelaire. Translation by Geoffrey Wagner.

Other images from the series can be seen here and here on Orbit Trap.

Where possible, the use of alternative decorations which do not require open flames should be considered as a prudent option. This is especially important in federal buildings...

Stage Set for the Oresteia (2004)

[Click on the image above to see the view with binoculars.]

That the play ends on a happy note may surprise modern readers, to whom the word tragedy denotes a drama ending in misfortune. The word did not carry this meaning in ancient Athens, and many of the extant Greek tragedies end happily.

The blog underwent a slimmer, darker makeover. I wanted a black background for the images, a personal preference. Thanks to Dr. Tim who did most of the cutting.
