My Spirit Tried to Leave Me

Triple Hyacinths, ca. 1994


Houston Magnolia, ca. 1996


I hide myself within my flower,
That wearing on your breast,
You, unsuspecting, wear me too –
And angels know the rest.
I hide myself within my flower,
That, fading from your vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me
Almost a loneliness.
(Emily Dickinson)
The Moon(s), ca. 2000

Petals, ca. 1997

Dugdale ~ Dickinson
Around Us Lie These Mysteries

Song of the Open Road (1856)
(Still here I carry my old delicious burdens;
I carry them, men and women ─ I carry them with me wherever I go;
I swear it is impossible for me to get rid of them;
I am fill’d with them, and I will fill them in return.)
Walt Whitman
Inverted farmhouse, ca. 1994
