ホッチキス HOTCHKISS - EMMA'S DELL (Deep Thought Mix) - Video & Lyrics

a small stream 

running with a young man’s speed

the sound of water

through budding groves

she weaves between 
still traffic

sirens wail 
building to building

in the confusion a leafless ash-tree

in the coffee-shop dirt under her nails

alive to the world 

a song bird vying with a waterfall

neon signs

flick on and off

sidewalk daisies

swapping stories

a single cottage

on the distant mountain

bright green hawthorn

talking to shepherds

in the confusion a leafless ash-tree

in the coffee-shop dirt under her nails

alive to the world 

a song bird vying with a waterfall

Lyrics: Paul Conneally

Music: Shuntaro Netsu and Paul Conneally

Competitors In The Fruit Routes Balancing An Apple On Your Head Race2016

Competitors in the artist led Fruit Routes Apple Olympics balancing an apple on your head race. Each competitor wears not a number but the name of a fruit tree species planted during the Fruit Routes work on Loughbohemia (some call it Loughborough) University Campus.

.

Other events were the '1km Or So Fruit Routes Run' where the aim was for all competitors to cross the finishing line together and not shot but 'apple putting' not forgetting of course the children's 'Apple And Spoon Race'.

.

Fruit Routes is conceived and planned by my long time collaborator artist activist Anne-Marie Culhane with and for the wonderful Loughborough University Sustainability Team and it's a pleasure to work on and have be associated with it as artist and poet year on year since its start.
