PREVIEWS (of final and progression art works)

AN ARTFUL AFFAIR

WORDS - COLLETE O'KANE

IMAGERY- FRANKIE BAKKER

Twenty Seconds

make a twenty second phone call

reasure me

I have not been used

discarded

forgotten

Past His House

I am thirteen 

again

wanting to get a boy 

to stop kicking the ball

that he might look up

and see me

Carbon Footprint

I hold onto the possibilities

as I step into the warm shower

..

maybe my body will disapper

down the sweet-smelling drain

over scrubbed

I Want To Tell Him

how i become wet

with memory

..

and feel him rise again

..

but he is gone

My Educated Mouth

as i kneel before him

he is unaware of my amusement

for his words keep repeating in my automate


He Tells Me

he pictures his fluid

spreading up

through my body

like the roots

of a tree

that he could stay forever

living within me


Gold Rush

we are colluding

..

our eyes holding

like a handshake on the deal

as we agree

in clumsy metaphor

to his imminent betrayal

The Curve Of My Hip

as if i were a fine sculpture

in a Parisienne garden.

The Creation

How shall I create thee

in space and time

..

when you turn away form me

as you must

will i become a vengefull creator

.

Almond Tart

I saved him the last piece of almond tart

..

as forgotten as i

I Want To Share The Moon

slowly draw into our warm mouths

martini-soaked olives

..

into the reflected moon of rosemary infused oil


Body Oil

anointing Christ's feet

honoring fishes and loaves

i

like

a

cannibal

..

where i greedily ate the lot
