DEAR DAVID
+
YOUR WORK WITH CLAY TOUCHES MY PERCEPTION
AND FROM THE PAST A PIECE OF LIFE RISES TO
PRESENT (1979, SERBIA).

ALONE IN THE FOREST ~ NIGHT ~ DARKNESS ~
JUST SHADOWS ~ THERE'S A STRANGE SOUND
BLBB' ~ BLBBBLBBB' ~ BLBB'
MY EAR FOLLOWS ~ UNTILL IT TOUCHES
THE SOIL ~ IT COME'S OUT OF THE SOIL.
WITH MY HANDS I CAREFULLY DIG IN THE
CLAY ~ TOUCH IT ~ EAT IT ~ THERE'S SOME FLOW ~
DROPS OF WATER ~ I DRINK IT ~ THE EARTH
OUTSIDE OF ME BECOMES INSIDE ~ INTERCONNECTION
I AM THE WTER - I AM THE CLAY ~ I AM THE EARTH ~
WE'RE ALL ONE ~
I OPEN MY EYES ~ I AM ALL QUIET ~
OUT OF THE DARKNESS OF THE LEAVES
THE UR-MOTHER LOOKS AT ME ~ HER
FACE FULL OF BEAUTY ~ KNOWLEDGE ~TRUTH
LIVED VISIONS ARE REALITY
BYE BROTHER ~
