Not Tonight, Josephine

Josephine Deux

Every now and then an expression and a form coalesces into such a clarity that it begs articulation.

Evocate.

Put the music on, load Mosaic Maker, type one word onto Flickr's Search.

Pick your cherries. Stick them like jotter book collages that you used to do.

Except post them back online, the sum more than its parts, drawing emotions from music, from images, from flashes of synapses firing in close sequence.

Add poetry. Add lyrics.

I ask you to listen to Josephine by Tori Amos while you look at this collage.

Gasp at the delicate nature of her beauty, wrought from the work of hands. And wait.
