I CARRY YOUR HEART WITH ME

Acrylic on cement wall, 4m x 2m.


A luminiscent love poem, i carry your heart with me by ee cummings, is adoringly represented by a painted collage of strewn flowers blooming from left to right, mirroring the viewer as he walks and reads the poem on the wall, mirroring the poem at its climax with an exuberant blossom, ripe and heady. Many thanks to Sheryo who helped out with the painting!

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
