The second short film I showed at The Holburne Museum on Friday evening was my poem 'screecher teacher' with film and animations of Lesser Black-backed Gulls edited together from my longer film 'Crossing'...
screecher teacher from leaf time windblown cold space
from dark
from egg
from rooftop and hiding
screech call and call and call and quiet and love and I see you and I say so
the language of I don't care for them, how do they know me?
I care here and call naming twelve eggs, four chicks
hungry red spot feeders speaking in screech love
sea lovers, ship lovers, leaf lovers, chip lovers
overseas screech place of wind blown plastic anger
fierce chasing, no sharing of so much
screech song of love not warning
call of feathered eggs
high cloud
soar song
spread wings
vee
fields brown mud white grey bodies
star shown silhouettes missing
