The Barn Owl, the Spider-Being, and the Dreamer
Always awake and asleep like the moon, an Owl hovers above the City, and a constant Eye above Humankind. From her solar plexus emits a reality higher than those commonly agreed upon- a battery inside of flesh, a god hidden amongst humans, in a relentlessly human world. What do they decide about physics today? What is the new element they have conquered, in all its radiance, in broad daylight? What will they speak of today’s suffering, tomorrow?

An Infinite Song
As a small youth the Artist could gaze upon the unadulterated expanse of the Universe for miles in all directions, the verdant landscape of mango, coconut, ackee and rubber trees, and trees that bore a multitude of fruits and flowers, before the mountains cascaded into the city, the city into the ocean. After some years, the house built by his grandparents became surrounded by squatter communities, drawn to the area by the freshwater river. Every Saturday the women would wash their clothes in the river, beautifully, rhythmically, as if bonded to an invisible pulse, and they bathed themselves and their children there. The image of them smiling, glistening in the sun was framed in the Artist's mind as the purest form of beauty. The community was relatively peaceful, but jubilant music, reggae, dub and dancehall, and the sound of gunshots would reverberate through the mountains at almost equal measure.
