A poetic reading of Simon Cook's photographs by Lloyd Godman

Conversation in Deep Blue Space

where clouds suspend against soft grounds of blue,
electromagnetic fields defy space
vibrate as a single black line
or -  hover as lines of a musical stave with as yet unwritten notes
dangling with imaginary rain drops

energy radiates outward to living bodies
diminishing beyond the frame
cells tingle with unheard conversation in a strange language
the pulse is near - unseen heart-felt but never acknowledged
the head of private dialogue in the public space remains unheard
stimulation buys nature a new mask
the division of space broken by line, shape,  texture
the branch, the twig, the leaf
offer organic reference
there is still life in the urban
