I see faces, so many faces around the globe from different places. I see life, so many lives, like plants that grow and plants that thrive. I see sound, sweet music, as the rhythm is abundant in the world of human. I see touch, people touching the hearts of others. I see smiles, so many smiles, the ones that go on for miles and miles. I see laughter, curiosity having fun with the tips of grins, the laughs that brighten a day ﬁlled with grim. I see light, warmth, and a touch of love shining through cracks of a broken melody of color.

We never stayed at home. We were eleven, bony and wild, we sat and carved sticks with our teeth,

Raising children in this world is like running upstairs with a glass of water clutched under your arm.

I have ﬁve sons. They are frogs and snails and feathers dipped in gold. They are blueberry eyes and backs that curve to the palm like soap.

Smiles greasy with lying, our brothers told us a birch tree was a ghost’s hand. We slid past, its bent white claws screeching down the belly of our canoe.

They are the longest breath I’ve ever held.

I’m sorry we don’t speak anymore, the day the telephone stopped announcing

Sweat cools on my brow as they sleep. This is what passes for peace to a parent—

the other’s need, in its shrill metallic call. But no need for talk of that now. When I walk back through the autumn woods with leaves like raw meat in the cold, I see your teeth marks on the birch, I hear you crashing ahead through pine, howling mammal cry,

TEVE BRAFF IS LOVELY.�� ON POETRY ��

#37 Heart of darkness. Heart of light. And all a brambling about in the menace of dense lace lives luminance where center tree marries browning earth to an unseen sky in a lush dry complexity that pulls the eye in to a wondering dare past the tear of brindle branch and thorn.

��

Our love, that halfmad ﬁrebrand, races once around the room whipping everything

�� Chapter Twenty-Two Thou shalt neither vex a stranger nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Tell me—Did you have a Grandma Sarah? Grandma Sarah on Flatbush Avenue. Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn. Brooklyn, New York. Red brick apartment building. Maybe ten stories. Overlooked the yeshiva with the asphalt playground. Where boys played hoops, wearing their tallit and yamakas. And Grandma knows: All is safe. Full. Warm. Secure. The pogroms—Long gone. Poland—Long gone. Surrounded by her own. But no. No. Not—for—long. For now they come. Come pouring in. Storming in: Puerto Ricans? The Puerto Ricans! . . . And the neighbors. Her neighbors. Her friends: They are angry. They are scared. They are gone Miami bound. You know? Like—whoosh . . . Grandma? No. Not Grandma. No, Grandma . . . bakes. Cookies . . . Till her whole apartment ﬁlls with the aroma of that goodness. Then Grandma—She opens her heavy green door. She opens it . . . Wide . . . See all the boys and girls with their black hair and caramel skin— They pile in. Just pile in! In and on and everywhere. And my Grandma Sarah—She is happy. . . There: The smallest boy. Quiet one. On her yellow vinyl chair. Plate full. Glass full. Looks up. Smiles. Eat. Tatala. Eat. Steve Braff: http://stevebraff.blogspot.com. Lots of cookies. Steve lives with his wife, Karen, and dog, two cats, in Los Olivos.

OR ALL THOSE ARTISTS WHO LOST TRACK OF TIME �� www.sbcaw.org �� Our World Breaking Open is by Nathan �� Snyder, a native of Hawaii who moved �� to SB to be a part of the art community �� and apprentice with Montecito �� sculptor Aristides Demetrios. He is a of the Univ of Hawaii and �� isgraduate now an on-site technician for the �� foundry at SBCC. His sculpture is made �� of gleaming stainless steel, which �� represents the spherical symbol of the globe and resembles a puzzle or lock�� For information visit the SB County Ofﬁce of Arts and Culture. www.sbac.ca.gov

like form with the presence of power and strength as it sits on a solid base.

The Marigold Holiday Pop-up Boutique

Color Molecules is by Helle Scharling-Todd, a native of Denmark who resides in Ventura. She has a variety of artworks in public spaces both nationally and internationally. Here she has blown-up the microscopic world of molecular structures and added her own touches of color and whimsy, inviting viewers to ponder this mysterious world in a much lighter fanciful way. State of the Art Gallery 2008

Annuit Coeptis (Trans: He approves our undertakings) by Jeff Sanders, a frequent fabricator and collaborator who has worked with many important American artists. A long time resident of Ojai, Sander’s sculptures and art works often use humor for social and political commentary. The steel and aluminum obelisk is reminiscent of not just the Washington monument, but more ominously, a watch tower.

Stupa by Richard Aber is a tall, uncomplicated form, like a golden torch, and big enough to be seen from the heavens. The coated canvas is an unusual material for outdoor sculpture acting like a skin or scales and yet is reminiscent of roof shingles used in building. The title refers to the Buddhist structures erected at sacred sites. State of the Art Gallery 2008
