PAINTINGS BY EMMY VERSCHOOR

VOOR EMMY

Voor Emmy

Zijn het pluimen of bladeren
die ontsnappen uit je binnenste hartkamer
of is het de gloed van de kleur van kloppend bloed
hunkerend naar de stilte van rimpelloos
Water?

Als haar handen vloeibaar worden
krijgt de piano vleugels op het doek
Een boom verbijt haar vergezicht
In de diepte luisteren wortels verrukt
naar de zachte braille van haar bestaan
Tuinen hangen van de wolken
omlaag, omhoog groeien vreemde bloemen
uit een ingebeelde notenbalk.

SHADOWS

SHADOWS


granular and pitted
caught in a silent backwash
who can hear our whispers

somewhere where there's
a ray of penciled light
and the perfume of gasoline
a man wearing dark glasses
and a pink wig limps by

it's only a disguise
he's really one of us
dreaming of a night
when the tide will rise
to carry him and all our
smothered whispers
far from the sea wall

The Western Lands, William S. Burroughs



The Western Lands by i'm a superhero i can like fly and shit.

FLUXUS RUSSIA



Painted square from Svetlana Pesetskaya to announce a Russian Fluxus’ project

ON THE ROAD TO MARRAKESH IS A WAY OF FLUXUS’ TRAVELING, dedicated to the Beat Generation



Small painted envelope for the Russian Fluxus project proposed by Svetlana Pesetskaya.
The Beatniks opened the gateway for the artistic revolutions that followed, including Fluxus (my vision anyway).
At a certain moment they were all in Marocco. It is there that mail artist John Upton (RIP) met William Burroughs but that encounter is a story in itself.
On the road refers of course to Kerouac’s major novel...

FUGITIVE BIRDS

S’ APERCEVOIR UNE NOUVELLE TEMPETE



AKA THE SECRET OF HURRICANES REVISITED

Small painted envelope inspired by the novel of Theresa Williams

THE BLOODBANK

THE BLOODBANK

We drove out to the Dunes
over the bloodbank
home of deceased features
embedded in shale.
Hounds smelled the flesh
of old sea monsters.
The earth's shorn data
jeered the war's toll.
Timbers toasted.
The whinny sound
festered on the ramp.
Witches crackled,
sanctified,
triumphed
in the hallowed Hall.
The band murmured
and spat grizzled sausage
on the shoals
of the Danube.
Neon skulls
blinked hours
over the ivory basin.
In the street,flares,
dice,steel eyes,
thirst.
The band strolled
and hummed
around town,
toured the sound stage.
Banjo cords powered
stolen gates,
linked forts,
exported
the dour planet.
Applause.
Hydrogen mouths yelled.
Devious voices
abhored time,
strummed jugular
divestitures.
On Crystal Street,
a vision
of jets departing,
a missile launch,
bombers,
gun metal,
an ambulance
siren
wheels
iron god eyes.
Woodwins
jazz notes burst the cold night air
from someplace warm
why not
some notes flooded
raw
laughed.
Analyses ricocheted
prestigious emblems.
The eaters of night
cast half chewed
galaxies through
the iron gate.



I read the forecast
at the track
of the filly
in the ascendant sky.
Pegasus' passage flashed
above the treetops.
Dark forms whisked
outside the courtyard.
Thirsty phantoms
sliced woodwins
on the bandstage,
swore and chased
the brass sound
of a tuba
echoed
in the red forest.
In the music hall,
banjo cords,
a requiem
of eyeblinks
spattered the estate.
In the forest,
the antecedent glowed
above the circuitous tire treads.
