Cherry Blossom Asemic Poem #3 - from Dark wall

I've had this piece by DW for several months now but it got lost in the middle of a jar of seasonal pickles. I think it is time to bring it back to daylight because it is quite a remarkable piece.
This was an early Cherry Blossom Asemic, and the only one of the series that I actually received. I am very fond of the colors, the delicate beauty of the asemic writing, the fine details in it.
To me it is a bit like sneaking into one of DW's dreams while he is asleep. Just like a dream, the poem appears to have no clear beginning, nor does it have an end. Borders are blurry. No framing. It contains fragments of clear images, soaked in a sea of uncertain happenings.

 

Is DW lying in hospital? The test results seem to be inconclusive, if not slightly worrying. And are those the computers from Central Command? A familiar peacock is making its way through the dream, leaving a trail of prophecy behind him (it). What he told DW, we will never know. Something about feet, surely.

 

 

The poem is clearly divided in two parts separated by a blank. Dreaming - waking up - falling asleep again. The latter half seems to be more peaceful. I can see how it is a continuation of the first part, but he writing is less tormented, more constructed and organized . Regular pattern, regular breathing now... All is well?
OK, time to get out of DW's mind before he wakes up. Tomorrow morning will be like we have never been there...

So Dutch isn't European? I think it's in the Fog Museum in Boston - threw me off - geez, the spell chick is lousy at research. I said to Marie: "CP-SA is a serious flight risk." And there you go again. Flighty, some might say ;)

I think "Barnyard.." is an American painting? Maybe European? Point is, I remember it as a classic peacock painting - they look a little quarrelsome, actually
