The Universe listens

 

 

 


This my own remix of  Breathe The Sun, by Susan (SackJo) and Sturzstrom. I’m not generally known for my hip-hop skills – but I’ll try anything once & I’m pleased with the result  – especially my Jack Thompson impersonation!  The whole lyric is based around Susan’s original words & Sturzstrom’s infectious pulse and rhythm and that dopplering bike.

Thanks Sturzstrom for the amazing production (love the sub-bass) and Susan for your cool words and sexy voice.

The Universe listens

bright morning   everything new
day’s unfolding just for you

Breathe the sun weather fine
on your bike elastic time

rhythm is life soundtrack’s groovy
everyone extras in your private movie

traffic flows   manmade river
Wind on my scalp shaved my hair
Where am I going? anywhere…

Gotta keep moving, feel the pulse
This is real, nothing false
Part of everything. The All is Me.
Pushing forward. Feeling free.

Breathe the sun.
Breathe the sun.

Heartbeat throb.
Life is rhythm.
Ears wide open.
The universe listens.

in clover

I’ve just won the 3rd Annual RiAus Sci-ku competition. (“Inspired by the Japanese haiku, sci-ku is a 3 line poem which gives us a flash of insight like the scientific “Eureka!” moment.)

2012 is the Year of the Farmer. My theme was the symbiosis of nature and agriculture as exemplified in the amazing way that the humble clover takes an inert gas from the atmosphere and uses it to improve our soils and food:

 

Clover, the farmer’s friend.
White nodule bacteria microfactories,
nature’s fertiliser mined from thin air.

 

This was a concentrated haiku version of a poem (Balansa Clover) published on the Stylus Poetry Journal ’way back in 2005:

 

Balansa clover

 

i sowed              this balansa clover

in one furrow at the top of the hill

 

knowing it was hardcoated

to survive the gut of sheep

 

to be broadcast in its own organic

fertilizer pellet   its           descendants spread through

an acre paddock.

 

 

i pull    at a clump teasing fibrous roots

from moist soil and marvel at white

 

nodules             microfactories of sym

biotic bacteria mining

 

nitrogen from the air

fertilizer for the                neighbours in this

community of plants.

 

 

 

Thanks to RiAus for supporting both connections between science and poetry and its generosity – my 3 line poem won me a Kindle Touch e-reader!
