hidden haiku - a memento

This is a "memento" thing. I got this idea and instead of just making a note (which I'd forget anyway) I sort of "scratched it down" by doing it roughly. 

Media: India ink on paper, string, super glue (to make the knots unbreakable), cotton cloth, "icon board" (gessoed wood), acrylic, colored inks, industrial "silk" paper.

the haiku reads:

sepulchre
a name that saves
on its way to morning

and should be attached to the back of the work in an envelope ... or something

found / greened out haiku

found again

Here's another "found" haiku. For some reason I have this book called "Christian Retirement" from 1849 - hence the old fashioned language - written by an English reverend (I guess) who must have been inspired by Ignatius de Loyola. He seems to have been a fire and brimstone kind of priest or just very zealous. My guess is that he tried to convert Roman Catholic monastic spirituality to be used in a C. of E. context.

Pardon me - rengay (solo, uncollaborative & grumpy)

Pardon me                    

cherry blossoms …

(pardon me if i

don't swoon)

in the ant-hill

sudden outbursts of “sweet” & “lovely”

it's the season

i arm myself

with antihistamines

bend necks

convinced now of

our lemming nature

beneath a pink cloud

head full of screaming guitars

deep breathing

the rattle goes away

after coffee
