Was asked by Theresa at The Letter Project to consider the epistolarium. Monday morning I ranted: Try reading it with one breath.

Episolarium Rant
A room with a view
solarium, aquarium, agrarian
Place where ideas grow
weave, weft, hook
Paper words
between people
More practical than missiles
or pistols
Plural, equal, altered
born, hatched, spawned
missives.
Epistolarium ovarian
women words
organic shapes
Victorian? Matissian?
hothouse determination
Uprising of letters
an anti-Lariam, epistolarium
a community
of eco egos
Epicenter of postal prodding
to the edges of knowing and beyond
This morning the
epistolarium woke me up.

Epistolarium of my mind
Waking
me
shaking
me
sheet-shimmying
me
Levitating
liberating
translating
my days
Hemisphere
within
letters
hanging
words
colliding
form-finding
sound-binding
Winking
smiling
Spinning its
trance
A monotype made on a mirror (Akua Kolor and Akua Intaglio).
