OrientalismIn the day, yellow sand
from the Taklamakan
coats the motorbikes
of your overlords

At night, this city's towers
gleam, a Chinatown of lights
(dragon gold, lantern red)

Here, you can eat
a Philadelphia roll
or a fortune cookie
with fictional
Confucian quotes
on the side

Or you can dive
into a Pacific of
specific patterns,
woven with
living threads
in wire cocoons

Don't get distracted
by the innumerable
neon kanji; trace
the tiny green
lights to the
computer shop
at the end of
the way.

Millenial GodsSubmerged in carnivals of sound,
The factoids slide in paisley drips.
Our world is neither flat nor round,
Spinning as a dense ellipse.

The factoids slide in paisley drips,
Oil-slick swirls of ageless data,
Spinning as a dense ellipse,
Tracking every meshwork sutra.

Oil-slick swirls of ageless data!
Perhaps we're multi-headed gods
Tracking every meshwork sutra--
We'll download them to our iPods.

Perhaps we're multi-headed gods;
Our world is neither flat nor round.
We'll download it to our iPods,
Submerged in carnivals of sound.

Holy Seagullby ~kajigoddess

Traditional Art / Drawings / Landscapes & Scenery

Drawn from a webcam image of a seagull sitting on top of the Sistine Chapel smokestack. Apparently, it was also eager to find out who the next pope was. Intentionally drew this in a more subdued way than usual.

I considered the seagull roosting on top of the Sistine Chapel's chimney not only foreshadowing the papal election of Cardinal Bergolio, but his papal name too. He chose Francis after St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, who is often depicted with a bird by his side.

Now that's an intriguing perspective. I recall seeing a statue of St. Francis of Assisi with birds, now that you mention it. Maybe the seagull knew something after all?

Honestly though, I didn't draw this because I felt the seagull was a divine harbinger (I can't say whether it was or not). To me, the seagull was such an unexpected sight that I felt like drawing it on a whim.

Awesome piece

I like the color scheme.

Thank you very much for the compliment and fave. Color scheme inspired by the actual colors of those things. ^_^
