Intro poetic

These works in progress, represent a month's work of poetic pages by Australian Contemporary artist, Gerry Joe Weise. Hailing from Sydney, he has lived in several different European countries as well as Australia. In France during the late 80s and early 90s, he took part of the movement in the north-eastern part of France, where he collaborated with Jean-Marie LeSidaner (exhibitions, performances, happenings, installations, catalogues/revues) and Michel Butor (revue/catalogue), both internationally famous poets/philosophers; as well as the International Rimbaud Poetry Festival in Charleville-Mezieres.
The following "Month Of Poetry" are a strange blend of Contemporary Lowbrow Free Speech The Word Automatic No Wave Minimalist Conceptual Underground Avant-garde writings. Just the way Gerry Joe Weise likes to write and compose.

RED CARPET

on the floor
a red carpet
stretched across
from corner to corner
maybe a plateau in time
a canvas stretched
across the Universe
a red carpet
on the floor
stretched randomly
stretched out in
two dimensional order
that red carpet
on the floor

OF PLACE

WITHIN - OF A PLACE

I know a place
a place in the imagination
a place out-of-time
I know how to get there
it is within the soul
a place within
there can be no judgement
there can be no critic
there only can be that
that is within
as we all know by now
you can't always be
in this moment of space
that is happening now
but is sometimes
extra-real extra-space
I know a place within
that will take me there
every time
that will help me to
obey an extra-logic
that is just an extra-reason
to exist
I know how to get there
a place within

JUST THINKING

What is that we all think about
when we all think at the same time
is it to do with special
representations of time
out to the outer regions
as all thoughts are within
what may be beyond our
thoughts.........
is it true what they say
that thoughts are the some
and where of.........
it is good to explore
and I'm just
wondering.........
can our minds just click on
to the outer edge and outer time
dimensions of the fourth degree
is it always our dilemma
to be thinking immediately
can't we thing later what we
want to think now.........
I know I would like to
to think later what I'm
thinking now instead of
thinking now as thinking now
is there data in the base of thought
just trying to think
of what could be useful
as I was wondering.........
is it true what they say.........
as all thoughts are
equal to the concepts of time
as all thoughts.........
are in our own
time frame.

FINE LINE

A FINE LINE OF THOUGHT

there is a fine line of
what is said to be
without a doubt when
one may be thinking of it all
and wasn't it just wonderful
and wasn't it just on
above the hill so far
away so far to the end
of the page of this line
drawing and painting
the line between existence
and the page slides to the left
is on the floor now
I can see what your thinking
that as all flows to the end
of what we know perceive as
a rescue of it all
and that this is what we
have all been waiting for
can't wait to see you again
what a thought as the line
this line runs out
just runs out of space !

HIDING TO WRITE

I'm Hiding to Write


I'm hiding to write

want me to write

can't stand it when I write
the whole family is worried
when I write
when I write something
when I write about art
why is it so ?
I'm hiding to write
because my piers
don't want me to write
aggression against when
when I write
freedom of expression
still creates so many barriers
especially within the family
why is it so ?
I'm hiding to play
yes I'm hiding to play
because my family doesn't
doesn't want me to play
they say get a job
they say you can't play
you can't play music
why is it so ?
I'm hiding to paint
oh hiding to paint
everything seems
to bother other people
seems to bother
bother the family
why is it so ?
I'm hiding to do anything
yes I'm hiding to do anything
the family doesn't want me to
people don't want me to
the Government doesn't want me to
critics don't want me to
television doesn't want me to
trends don't want me to
fashion doesn't want me to
forever not want to
not want to
not to
no.

OUTBREAK OF

THE OUTBREAK OF

It is the outbreak
the outbreak of thought
a little idea becomes a thought
a forever engaging idea
a forever engaging thought
it's the outbreak
an outbreak of time & place
forever in thought
maybe a magical place
an endearing time
is what this may mean
or just a spot in time
the outbreak of thought
a nowhere place
or just a fragment of time
is a thought in space
a magical moment
one of the wonders of life

THE DOLPHIN

THE DOLPHIN

Wouldn't it be great,
if we could live in the sea,
land is over populated,
misery is everywhere,
but then again...
if man did live in the sea,
it too would be over populated,
it too would have misery everywhere,
but then again...
just think how all the living creatures,
all the living creatures in the sea,
are so lucky,
so lucky to be,
so lucky to be living in the sea...
yesterday I was swimming,
swimming by myself underwater,
swimming on a beach in Adelaide,
when I thought I saw a shark,
the grey creature heading towards me,
I started to take the direction,
the direction of the beach,
calmly, steadily, calmly,
when I found myself face-to-face,
with a grey Bottlenose Dolphin,
it swam so slowly,
it swam so closely,
it floated by so gently,
with it's head above water,
we were looking eye-to-eye,
and we were seeing,
us two grey creatures in the sea...
at first, I thought it came to me,
because I was ill,
as they are known to heal,
then secondly, I thought it came to me,
because it wanted to see me,
then thirdly, I thought it came to me,
because it said everything will be alright...
after the dolphin disappeared,
disappeared into the sea,
I saw her later again,
far off into the horizon,
flashing by with her baby calf,
swimming, chasing after fish...
wouldn't it be great,
if we could live in the sea,
the sea...

MORNING OF A NEW DAY

.........the dawn.........
the dawn of a new day.........
the Sun rises.........
.........for a new day
.........crepuscule
new day new day.........
hope..........
and new joy..........
light abounds.........
.........in wonderful color
birds sing.........

a new day is a good day
when one tries to get away
and finds oneself once again
new ideas.........
new projects.........
new concepts.........
new all.........
.........and all is based on
on the old.........
the old is important
and the new is real
.........the Sun is high
high up in the sky...
where it belongs...
where it belongs...
belongs...

A MOMENT IN TIME

A MOMENT IN TIME

a moment in time
is maybe a lapse in time
is maybe only a thought in time
is only an abbreviation in time
is within the flow of time
are there different time-flows ?
is there only one time ?
a moment of thought
is a small stop in time
many thoughts in time
are they many stops in time ?
what about other places in the Universe ?
is this moment really existing ?
can we count the moments in time ?
are we forever stuck in time ?
can we not grow young ?
was that a thought in time ?
are moments important,
important to time ?
I had a moment of hesitation,
just before my next thought
I wished my thoughts were:
in the doorway of time -
that they could be used in -
other frames of time -
that they were not restricted -
that they had freedom -
freedom of time -
freedom of place -
freedom of history.

COLOUR COLLAGE

A COLOUR COLLAGE

a colour collage of colour as
when a blue meets green as
if the purple of grey can't
but be a red within
but that black is so green
as when the grey of time
is yellow brown of mine
is it true - you be blue ?
is it true - or untrue red ?
I'm only too happy to be
red and yellow and orange
but we can't stop now
can't we ? can't I ?
as if the magenta going
light purple & violet
and bright green lime
aren't we clever ever
as long as the pink isn't
where's the orange
the sky's light blue
and the turquoise blue
versus the green
I mean turquoise green
ocean green
give it time, give it time
I will said the ochre
don't give in yet
I won't said the ochre
okay we will be there soon

GREY LINE

...grey line coming, there is
a grey line coming, tell me ?

where is the grey line ?
soon,

...grey line coming, there is

do I go away...again ?
soon,

...grey line coming, there be
a grey line, once again,
blurring out what is real,
and what is to be,
soon,

...grey line coming, a grey
line, a grey time,
when to go ?

a grey line coming, again ?
who , what is it ?
will I escape...again ?
maybe not soon again.

EARTH WORKS

EARTH WORKS

Colored pigments on earth, many simple colors - many complicated colors, swirling around and around, bright yellow as bright as the sun forms my spiral on black slightly humid dark earth, is that, that green striking across this circle of hope, or is it that blue riding across the field of the cosmos, purples abide within, light blue standing out from dark blue, strange and wonderful symbols appear on isolated ground, and fields of sprinkled star-like colors appear in the background, and white, white as snow on some sections of strange geometry, the ochre, the browns of molten earth pigments, accentuate the spiral as everything moves to outer space, yellow ochre and red ochre, punctuate fields of time, and what about the red ? the red is in all it's glory giving dimension or is it the fourth dimension, two dimensional layers of black, and the three dimensions of the spiral and all those symbols are moving across in time and space, taking us back to the beginning of the universe.

PAINT LANDSCAPE

landscape painting

many shapes and sizes of many forms to be of less geometric but more organic, of biological concerns different objects on different plains, different straights not straight, sinuous forms of liquid pour forth along large ravines as time weathers all, this full-stop is only in a certain way just a well of liquid, are we there now, or is it still after the horizon, still swaying still dreaming, long lines of fortune on earthly colours of time, forever young is the heart, forever old is the way of being, are we there yet, or is it still beyond, can we still be unhappy about the shape of scape-of-land of sand of sage-of-pay, we will get there if only the horizon would sit still, give us a chance we will arrive at our destiny

ON AN ISLAND

Being on an island does not give one a chance to do anything but being under a bridge within the four confines of city walls has only to be thought of as the palm trees on the park bench under the stars are always under the celestial sky while waiting for the sun to rise while the sun has set on the suburban outer region of thought and one can't tell when that river going over the tallest building has actually stopped itself from falling onto that old castle village is it still possible to think that one is going to the carnival outside the city as the woods approach the pine trees and sand under the mountain can hear the river source pouring the tears upon the pebbles and it is all but within time and space within the end of time within the most friendly of times so be it.
