the passing of winter into spring
and a vaporous life rises on a wild bird's song
disperses wide over the affirming sea

wild-eyed in vancouver...and beyond
unruly spaces can be more visually vigorous...[pristine environs exhaust my savage eye]
drawn to the worn, the weathered, the indeterminate, the eccentric -
along a street, around a corner, down an alley, through a window, against a door...
in this frivolous city floating above the north pacific coast, I record the savage states of neglected streets, ambiguous buildings, exuberant eviscerations -
and always find unexpected complacencies, even early on some sunday mornings...
