I.

The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the Ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine? --

II.

See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?

-Percy Bysshe Shelley

a brightness falling through the air
into the grass where we lie
a lark spirals upwards in perfect pitch
soaring into exquisite tension
in the dawn
in the dawn
in the dawn
dreams burnt away
by the first cigarette of the day
instincts move us into
the rhythms of love
soaring into
exquisite tension
making gentle pornography together
a brightness falling through the air
into the grass where we lie
a lark spirals upwards in perfect pitch
soaring into
exquisite tension

ride the waves goodbye
walk the silver sand
come with me, walk with me
to another land

we could never be
barely cannot see
take my hand, I'll bring you there
a place we've never seen

but the touch of your kiss
leaves me in a mess
the things I miss

now the stars will shine
taste your melting smile
floating down into my arms
your lips are touching mine

stars will comb your hair
we will always be
together there forever more
away from misery

but the touch of your hand
will make me understand
the things I miss
or the touch of your kiss
leaves me in a mess
the things I miss
or the touch of your hand
will make me understand
the things I miss

Is anyone here a pretty skilled screen printer or have access to a light table and would like to help me out with a little bag project? Do any of you MICA kids that I'm not quite friends with yet but should be have access to the Dolphin building? I just made a handful of tote bags with this hemp fabric that I wove and I'd like to print on top of them. I'm no pro, though. Help me out?
