Photo-Poem combining video stills taken the Friday night of Art Hop 2011 with a few random-other-time images, threaded fictionally by poetry, creating a story of the feelings evoked by the memories of the pictures and events.

photo-poem : “art hop 2011” burlington vermont
***
if the words endure, they do so because they link the links –
and,
if the images endure, they do so because they illuminate them

the two videos i pulled the stills from are on my youtube channel
art hop friday night has its own video, and the visit during the day to the small inlet near the main street of the festival does also
[note added 030312] special thanks to sambatucada, afro-brazilian percussion group, shown in five of the last six images of the photo-poem! great sound and co-hesiveness 😉

it was time!
art hop had skipped onto the calendar
the day was cool yet warmly greeted us, we were off –
to be at art hop
to have it occupy us
as we’d inhabit
stalls and walls of art, booths of food and
music wafting from way down somewhere
yet unseen
there, down a ways
there,
across the street with cars and merging
stars
there
along old tracks
run by trains no longer hauling
there
in chairs outside
the boxcars now gone
musicians laid new tracks of oldies drinking in
the growing darkness of night’s
restive still-quiet crowds
spaces opened light into the glowing
night
then
sounds of set ups
amps and wattage
watching
waiting
the lookers had prepared
had
strung blank
canvases of light
contrasts, friends of night
calling those inside –
pawn your indoor sleep!
and
wake!
shadow-glows burst
into drums and horns and flaring
wails with secret smiles we see in real time – timing our hearts
snaring drumming dreams
it followed us and we followed too…
exhausting us
like an army leaving without orders
it was over
and left its
imprint
played randomly
now
when
passing
sounds of night’s
secret fevers
find their way across remote controls left
uncontrolled
on sofas wanting only softness
wanting only
playfulness
wanting
art hop
