Introductions (a poem written by Eve)


Introductions


They tell me the Holy Ghost is
Invisible but
Sometimes you can see the
Soul

Like the way you say
No, that's the wrong
Translation
Under your breath when you
Read me your favorite foreign poem
Or the way the professor's eyes
Go somewhere both
Nearer and farther away for a
Second as the tenor of his voice
Changes.

Little pause in between
Measured monologue and
Rehearsed speech
Little glimmer behind
Guarded eyes
Thank you for
Introducing yourself.

Nowadays I’m significantly bigger and stronger, but I’m still my mother’s butterfly, soft and fragile.   Not to be touched.   By anyone, and just barely by my mama and my daddy. ...

My First "Moodbooks"

So, here are a couple of these little impromptu multimedia experiments I decided to whip out in the wee hours this morning.  Hope you enjoy! P.S. Please ignore the YouTube links in the vids for right now; I'm listing them at the bottom of the videos so that you can actually click on them there (you won't be able to in the videos). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= DWaB4PXCwFU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6exsatE- DUk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7TLTjqUyog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwrHwZyFN7M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nntd2fgMUYw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4QL0L9fgbg
