I think I shall write a book
Meg at 17.
AQWAI: 11.5 minutes. 2006
Images and music
AQUA – WATER – WAI – WATER – AWA – RIVER. AQWAI opens in Vancouver’s Fall with abstract images of rain, reflecting on leaf-filled puddles, winter Sunshine Coast beaches, lakes, and snow. To spring at the seas edge on Ayhus Island, light playing on the ocean floor, sea grass and shellfish beds, taking us underwater to Hawaiian coral and fish. Drawing to a close in summer, with the pebbled alpine streams, of Manning Park BC; Tongariro National Park, and Te Waipounamu – Aotearoa.
Music: Spacious by Tony Riparetti and Micheal Gibian; water and chimes.
From the chapbook
“Transit of Venus”,
Meg Torwl,
Integrial Media, 2012.
A collection of poems
about love,
public transit,
and life transitions.
bliss too
chula
half-coyote
leads the way
sun, lying
ayhus island
blue – sea – mountains
relaxed
finally
I can imagine
passing over
you rub the double-headed-
serpent tattoo
on your pregnant belly
a tarot reading:
much sorrow
obstacles to overcome
balancing fire and water
manifesting externally
green creative art
dream stakes
