German DJ Robbie Dee’s Deep House remix of my two faces have i.
Hear it HERE.
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.

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:
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!
