Distance

by Johnnie JungleGuts
“Where are the rest of the humans?”

anyone can hear a siamang gibbon’s song from 2 miles away.
A gibbon is a kind of small ape from southeast...

Earthfire Day 8
We started this morning by presenting the artwork which we’d completed so far. Manuel showed some of the footage he’d shot and utilizing the idea of connections and the corridors, a lot of out of focus shots of animals and natural phenomena coming in and out. Jxel wrote a song about Bluebell which included some samples of Jean’s voice. I read my new poem Little Flowers . Susan...
the Little Flowers
They say you gotta come up with something new every four years to get elected Britney Spears says “Give me something good, I don’t wanna wait I want it now.” but you’re not gonna drag that steamship through the jungle this time because it’s gonna be like making honey. We’re a little schizophrenic but I’m kind of beautiful. We don’t want dreams that money can buy. Silent Shout on the boombox...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!
For the next week you might be as likely to hear the sound of Mongolian Throat Singing or traditional Mexican Requinto in the Teton Valley, as you would hear a chorus of wolves singing. The reason for this is that the Earthfire Institute has embarked in a collaboration with three artists and a scientist from the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) through the Michelle Lund-Earthfire...

I’d like to eat out your ass in the ocean. I’d grab you by the hips and pull your weightless body towards me. If you were a whole school of fish
could I be your Hammerhead shark?
Could I eat away all the sick parts of you?
If I followed you would you sustain me? If I consumed you would you keep me alive? - JOHNNIE JUNGLEGUTS

Bear Poem
by Christopher Golden
You saucy bear. You know me.
With all your bear like thoughts.
You probably think of me when I’m naked. I like it.
You’re a bear.
You’re always naked. Or clothed? Do you feel naked – because you look naked.
Would you like some of my clothes?
And a nice dinner?! – oh, I’d really like that, to make you a nice dinner.
Filet mignon, oven baked asparagus, mashed sweet potatoes...
