Waiheke
you held me once, on your parent's couch in the afternoon sun, when a great grief broke loose from my sky and fell a debt I will never now repay
I offered— but we both could tell that your grief was too big to fit my arms around and anyway what you needed was not comfort, not to crash against the white cliff of anyone, to crumble them away like chalk, what you needed was time
so I sat vigil with you on the beach where you lay your pain down into the warm grass under a pōhutukawa, and gave yourself the best sleep I ever saw
thinking— if these sharp slivers of time were all we get let them stay stuck in me forever
for Bea 21/01/1980–10/03/2025

Peonies
by Jim Harrison
The peonies, too heavy with their beauty, slump to the ground. I had hoped they would live forever but ever so slowly day by day they’re becoming the soil of their birth with a faint tang of deliquescence around them. Next June they’ll somehow remember to come alive again, a little trick we have or have not learned.

Material Shapes
Connecticut-based prop stylist and designer Kristen Meyer creates geometric shapes using crackers, sticks, spaghetti, herbs, and other common raw materials. The finesse comes in her use of negative space, creating implied borders lines that help complete the shape without a full density of “ingredients.”

Jean-François Millet - Bird's-Nesters (1874)
Known for his realistic portrayals of French peasants, Millet produced this painting at the very end of his life. He based the scene on stories from his childhood that told of great flights of wild pigeons. When the birds settled in trees at night, the peasants blinded them with light from torches and then clubbed hundreds to death.

I'm so proud of this vase -- and so glad it survived bisqueing. I think it's the most elegant form I've managed yet. I'm gonna raku fire it in a nice copper glaze.
