How swiftly things can change By Noreen Inglesi How swiftly things can change Like a rippling stream Silenced by the first chill of winter Easy to take for granted Summer’s fervent warmth Lost in the rapture of children’s gleeful laughter Mornings of waking up to Bird’s chirping in trees Rich with honeysuckle and emerald leaves Evenings illuminated by full and crescent moons Painted against a backdrop of a dusky sky How we long for endless summers Hoping for a lifetime of gently flowing streams Aching to never loose the ones dearest to our hearts But things do change Streams do stop abruptly When seemingly in full stride It’s accepting this And going on That is one of life’s toughest tasks.

The Homeless Heart by Noreen Inglesi Here I'll rest shackled in a shapeless night Dazed and cold So alone Can a warm old man find a fireside? In my dreams I'm safe and warm You by my side. You, always so kind Why do you hide? Don't you know that love saves the homeless Heart? Silence falls just like time in sands Shadows dance in the wind. Spirits call me to distant lands Just lead me home I'll follow. There was a time not so long ago I worked the line then went home. Becky's glance kept me warm at night. But I blinked and she was gone. My cool tears never even touch the ground No one's there Not a sound. Will anyone care when I'm not around? Love's waning starlight mourns minds in darkness. You, in your darkness. You, why do you hide? Don't you know that Death stalks the homeless heart? Silence falls just like time in sands. Shadows dance in the wind. Spirits call me to distant lands Just lead me home. I'll follow. Date When was this created? 2008 Location Where was this item created?

Landscape of consumption I’m so tired of the faux facades of the “landscapes of consumption,” like this mall built to look like the village it supplanted (lights in second story windows with no rooms behind them illuminate only drapery and the parking lot); I’m so tired of being American, of this ‘we’ that keeps implicating me in all kinds of atrocities, in my insufficient resistance, in the insignificance of my concern; so tired of the facades splayed with brand names in elegant fonts of automated recognizance, of the logos and logoi and designs and reasons of consumption, the artistry of my people spent on storefronts and billboards, ads and special effects. I want to be unaffected: to resist, resist, resist the purchase. But the best of my people’s psychology, too, is employed to transgress my resistance, to subvert our sufficiency. We have had enough. II. Landscape of production As antidote to the trip to the mall to watch the movie to know what we have done with our history this time, I bike the landscape of production, weave the potholes of the parts of town no one goes to except to work, if necessary, and it’s always necessary for some. Then, as antidote to the engineered and treeless ‘neighborhoods’ (you might call them if the homes were close enough to see each other around the sewer treatment plant and oil tanks and adult establishments. Sure, I am adult too, and that is one of the few spaces off this street I am free to enter, but I can only imagine the discomfort of being ogled with questions by those poor shame-debilitated men having so much trouble getting to maturity), I leave my bike at the bridge, and walk upstream past the old mill to the unfilled wetlands, still unbuildable, so far. I find trees and breezes and the small wildlife we once took for granted, I think, though I don’t know who ‘we’ is here, either, certainly not us-as-children, when a pigeon’s iridescent neck would mesmerize, a squirrel would be welcome in the attic, and a robin a sign of something. I’m so tired of being American, of this ‘we’ that keeps implicating me in all kinds of atrocities, in my insufficient resistance, in the insignificance of my concern. Date When was this created? ? Location Where was this item created? The landscape of production is the old mills of west end of Providence, and the landscape of consumption image is a cutesy shopping center in South County.

Title What would you title this item? poem: Diptych: Landscape of Consumption, Landscape of Production Creator Who created this item? Karina Lutz Language A language of the resource English Description What is it all about? 'Landscape of consumption' and 'landscape of production' are sociological terms I learned from editing _Local Democracy under Siege: Activism, Public Interests, and Private Politics_ (New York University Press, 2007). A result of urban planning and zoning laws, landscapes of production (like factory districts) are developed distinct from landscapes of consumption (like strip malls). The starkness of the distinction can be easily ignored in a car, or when shopping online, but is unavoidable when bicycling across a city. The two types of landscapes reify a bifurcation of the economic self.

In the photo, he is thick-necked and as sturdy as a five-hundred-year-old Spanish oak bureau in Michoacán, as heavy and unmoveable; Monarch butterflies rest all over his shirt and khakis. If you close your eyes, you can see them slowly close wings, barely moving air. You can see the darkness at the bottom of the well where they found him. In the photo, in spite of butterflies, he has no smile. Fully frontal, he confronts the camera as the industrial gaze: a choice to communicate with an unknown afar: and here I am en el norte, where in the shortening days of August the monarchs may chew thick leaves of milkweed and rest in butterfly weed, orange upon orange. Once, while a new farmer, I killed a caterpillar thinking it was a tomato hornworm. Green and yellow and black— I should have known better. I tried to feed it to the chickens, said to love hornworms, but they just looked at me strangely, that way they do. I am at the bottom of the well where they found him dead. One day the only orange to see may be the flowers I planted to feed the butterflies who no longer return, a banquet set to empty chairs. The one I killed might have been the mother of thousands. This is how I pretend to power: guilt is easier than helplessness. Date When was this created? Feb. 2020 Location Where was this item created?

The tension within those of us in the global north who'd rather not be implicated in what our countries do in the global south was perhaps never better captured than by Carolyn Forché', who wrote from Central America: “while birds and warmer weather are forever moving north, the cries of those who vanish might take years to get here.” This poem was published by Notable Works in 2020 in Voices of the Earth: The Future of Our Planet II https://ricovidarchive.org/files/original/5831f2694b148c3b786b6bfe5974908a.jpg ead5187d9cb345aad576d76a9e46fcc0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
