Cherry Blossom Asemic Poem #3 - from Dark wall

[Marie Wintzer]

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...

Remove him! He doesn't please me! (with slight hand movement and thick Austrian accent)

Marie Antonette is not amused? Well, there is no stopping him now. Alsace shall have it's vispo epic. I think rodent is being used very loosely. The first chapter seems to be a study of the eohipus (?) those prehistoric horses that were the size of cats. Every good epic should start in the Ice Age.

[Marie Wintzer]

I was wondering, are trolls rodents too?

Barbarian Hamsters trolling through a Roman Epic - yip, sure sound like its got potential to me :-) X

[De Villo Sloan]

Yes, there's some kind of hamster crisis in Alsace. All he needed was something like this to trigger some sort of Roman epic or barbarian hordes sweeping across France and Germany.

The threatened hamster thing is for real??? WOW!

[De Villo Sloan]

the area in orange indicates the homeland of the alsacian hamsters along the rhine river. the tale of the hamsters of alsace must be told!

[cheryl penn]

Sounds scary.

You've done it this time, Marie! DW came early to use my scanner. He is clutching a new manuscript titled "The Rodents of Alsace," which he claims will be his ultimate masterpiece.
