for Bill Carter, on having his book with me at Esalen
Body, Body
Belly beautiful --
bellybutton
umbilical to the body
and the baby --
bay of coves and
curves and contours,
curvaceous female body
bathed in light and shadow,
shadow and light,
a fine fur of hair
furling across a wind-bellied plain,
the nibes of goose-pimpled skin
dotting a moon-
illumined landscape.

Stuff as dreams are made on ...
Your photos paint the innermost essence of human nature.
Wordsworth said that poetry is made of "emotions recollected in tranquility,"
and that's exactly what I feel about your images. I believe you're able to
grasp the deep sense of emotions.
"Illuminations" reminds me of Angels, which I'm extremely interested in, and
leads me to find relationships with Romanticism and Symbolism, which I'm very
fond of.
Actually your book gives us the widest possibility of interpretation
according to our inclinations and this makes it even more charming and
appealing.
You translate Prospero's thought in Shakespeare's Tempest: "We are made of
such stuff as dreams are made on ..."

WORMHOLE
Time traveler
through infinity,
through physicists' wormholes,
secret passages under Einstein's pedestal
across time and space.
A mausoleum in the flesh
of your belly,
a shrine to your connection
to your mother
to her mother
to her mother...
I feel the tingle of time
when we press together,
shrine against shrine,
sweetness alive, wet with desire
and possibility,
perhaps to create another time traveler,
another rebel against the tyranny
of right angles and clocks,
dodging waves and particles
to pass spirit
against all odds
through infinity.
-- Jack Mayer, M.D.
