It Sounds Kooky, I Know

RDP Friday: KOOKY

Day (Le Jour), from the series, Dreams (Songes), plate VI
Odilon Redon1891

 

My foundation is cracked

my joints are failing

the windows to my soul are growing weak and dim

sometimes when people look at me, they draw back and walk around me

some of them make the sign of the cross, or whisper to their God to help them move

faster along their way.

 

Do you know that they are smart and sensible?

I’m a living, breathing haunted house

who takes the train to work everyday

and faithfully walks her dog, even in the rain and the snow

because he loves it.

Umberto Boccioni, Dynamism of a Woman’s Head

Little Windows

Mir Trinxet summed up his private art manifesto in 1928: “All I want is for my works to lighten the heart and flood the eyes and the soul with light.”
