THE DONKEY AND THE STARS

Once upon a time there lived an old donkey on Okinawa Island,

who fell asleep every night looking up at the moon.

And in his dreams, he would dream of white doves

who were gathering him a basket filled with stars.

“Dear doves” the old donkey would say, “throw down the basket,

so that the stars may flutter around me like butterflies”.

And so they would, but at that very moment

the sun would begin to rise, little by little,

and instead of stars and doves and butterflies,

the old donkey would wake up surrounded by flies,

who would laughingly say to him:

“Dear donkey, sleepy old donkey, wake up now, the sun has risen”.

And that’s why each morning, the donkeys and the flies

would amble down to the beach together

to watch the dawn and the colours of the sea

turning from red to orange and from orange to blue...

And all this happened on Okinawa Island,

a place just like any other place,

so near and yet so far from the moon and the stars.

 I have only blogged a couple of shots but the exhibition is on for a couple of months and is definatley worth checking out.

Lyrics to The Bones Of You :


So I'm there

Charging around with a juggernaut brow

Overdraft, speeches and deadlines to make

Cramming commitments like cats in a sack

Telephone burn and a purposeful gait



When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch

Of a song that I know

And the world moves in slow-mo

Straight to my head

like the first cigarette of the day



And it's you, and it's May

And we're sleeping through the day

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away



Do I have

time? A man of my calibre

Stood in the street like a sleepwalking teenager

No.

And I dealt with this years ago

I took a hammer to every memento

But image on image like beads on a rosary

pulled through my head as the music takes hold

and the sickener hits; I can work till I break

but I love the bones of you

That, I will never escape



And it's you, and it's May

And we're sleeping through the day

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away



And I can't move my arm

Through the fear that you will wake

And I'm five years ago

And three thousand miles away

I love Servone Gaxotte's pendants. The collection is based on a doll called Rose that invaded the designers dreams a few years ago.
