Poems & Prayers

by one who struggles with words

in the lead up to my exhibition

Please help me see

Your presence &

the beauty in

decay

weakness

imperfection

in the falling down

in the random collection

in texture

in roughness

in change

in transition

the loose ends

the untied knots

the run-offs

the converging streams.. or seams

the dry pools

the mistakes

and accidents

in tangles

in mismatched items

in holes

in incomplete wholeness

in the fading

in ageing

the being.

I acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which I work and live and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. I pay respects to their Elders past and present.
