The Artist’s Sketchbook for Bonnie Quinn Cotter
Silence of early morning, interrupted by a bird.
I am guessing a magpie, but I do not know my bird sounds.
However, I am in the mood and mindset for guessing this morning.
Everything feels a little less harsh, where all the pieces of memories and sights and smells and thoughts infuse.
To make a misty hopeful feeling you imagine you could build with, like fantastic floating rocks.
This fairytale creation, fed from those first perfectly chosen stones.
Was it me that placed them there or was it the universe,
It must have been, I almost forgot!

Standing On The Earth I See
Standing on the earth I see,
That you are quite the same as me,
We are both like leaves from an apple tree,
I think I am I, but I don’t even exist
surely I am, without the I added in
I look at you, as if you are you through and through
but we are all made from the same sodding goo!
Oh no that’s not right cause it’s not goo at all
it’s something that’s no thing at all!
Now I am no wiser I have just down sized me
to a ant that is beside me,
Then I realize there is no separation at all!
For I am as large as the planet which is still rather small
And I am not sure if my cousin is the moon!

Pink Marshmallow Heart
This mornings inspiration could be summed up in this little poem.
Marshmallow hearts and sea urchins
the giant turtle returns
she is in a trance
tears on sand
she’s multiplying
so she might survive
then disappears again
into marshmallow hearts and sea urchins.
