Has anyone seen my Aura? Singleton Hippie Art, The Self Portrait

Has anyone seen My Aura?

Singleton Hippie Art (c) 2010

Self portrait of this hippie on an Empty Day

.

.

Sirens wailing slowly,

into the wind

like lazy smoke...

the sounds of the beginning

or

Very End

of a parade....

.

I sit like an old woman

crouched on the edge of the sidewalk

and pretend I'm watching the colors,

the hope floats,

the baby ballerinas,

the scary Boo-Ya! clowns

pass by.

.

Candies land at my feet,

Snap! Pop!

Tiny little gunpowder filled trinkets...

sweets...

sours...

Things that melt in your mouth.

Things that make you jump.

.

And I lean forward,

stretch my fingers out

to just barely touch,

scooch,

inch

the tiny colored wrappers

close enough to taste

but I'm just pretending...

.

And there's nothing really there at all."

She sees Things, Singleton Hippie Peace Art

She sees Things
(c) Singleton 2008








"He watches her,
quietly digging her toes into the sand,
tracing the hermit crab's trail with her fingertips...
watches the smile,
a polaroid pixie,
whimsically painting it's way up her face...

He knows
she knows...

She sees things....

Old faces in
bent trees,
Sad eyes
in lost marbles found again,
Promises
on butterfly wings,
Accidental hearts
on the tea~stained counter top....

She sees things,
because....

She believes"

Recycled cardboard, shaving cream, food coloring, colored markers, acrylics, watercolors and ink....

This little Hippie went to town...
painting on the porch with the wind...
Waterspots, inksplots and paint drops....
Accidental art....
And doesn't that mean, it was meant to be....

Peace and Dragonflies, Singleton Hippie Art

Peace and Dragonflies
(c) Singleton 2008

Wings fluttering,
dancing,
parading through the sky
in
translucent petticoats,
a chorus of
make-believe blues,
swirling,
twirling,
scooching into
make the circle...
and then
curtsy to
the wind...

Peace
and
dragonflies....
Ballet for the sky....
