Panoptic

The sailor Thamus heard a divine voice proclaim

that “Great God Pan is Dead”

here he bonds with Alien

and lives again

green-horned, young, and handsome

if only on an eroded bank

facing the lowering sun

unaltered, like all my photos

Alien

Why is it that buddhas, aliens, and such

are fodder for the inverted camera

it’s because their features

are rather simple and bilateral

and will gladly suffer distortion

all ingredients for the playful lens

seeking entrance to Area 51

Asian Dreamer

In honor of the Chinese Olympics

the spirits sent me an Asian Dreamer

I had to invert to meet her, of course

but that was no price to pay at all

just the inverse

I was the one rewarded to greet her

Even the Camera Must Defer

An inversion and then a rotation

accentuating the absurd

taken casually, a throw-a-way shot

no anticipation of anything strange

two pairs of 20’s Flappers

telling little secrets

illusionary spaces and hidden faces

Star War’s ships passing over

none of this without the inversion

even the camera must defer

Thales

The great Greek Thales

said all had come from water

here a stream spirit holds his effigy head

in honor of what he had discovered

the idea of a natural principal

that rules both water and world

Bard to Beast

Bard to Beast

just two days

once he sang

now he howls

change comes quickly

to inverted worlds

some times faster

hard to follow

It Could Be Shakespeare

It could be Shakespeare or his evil twin

god forbid The Sheriff of Nottingham

you never know who you’ll meet

in the Inverted Mirror World

 

It’s just a matter of getting down

and dangling over the stream

the eyes and water then take over 

the result is almost always unforeseen

unaltered like all these photos

Bottled Nature

This looks like a bottle

but there is no plastic here

just the brown of a stump

and the green of a field

Some Days

Some days, many days

Twin Branches withholds itself

but every once and a while

it surprises

and opens itself for deeper viewing

but then tomorrow it’s all forgotten

it’s hello brother not today

So I Spun This Ninety Degrees

So I spun this ninety degrees

what’s the difference

if I catch the Stream Grandmother

distributing her cornucopia

or picking up the trash
