Line Gauthier Poet Ode

I, Marina Abramovic

in the name of living art
pushing the limits risking it all
i put myself out teetering on every ledge
i stand where everyone can see
my nakedness flaunted as body art

i dare to expose my vulnerability
my passion lusts boldly for innovation
an unbridled vision steers my powerhouse
flashing artistic flair of feral imagination
hardcore inspiration with no map or guide

driven by the spontaneity of it all
never sure what outcome to expect
living on the edge of nonconformity
concepts blasting boredom out of existence
an animal survival instinct is what drives me

my art is a living organism
i’m radical no matter what the cost
i don’t care for labels but
at my core i have the heart
of a bona fide performance artist

Timothy Mcguire May 10, 2020 at 10:16 PM my favorite of all your poems. our art is in everything we do. from writing to painting, to sculpting, dancing, singing, talking, walking, loving, alive and with rhythm. It is a living thing as cells are alive in all. If we open our minds, as you have, we can see it. it is not we are looking for art, but art is looking fir us. Line Gauthier May 10, 2020 at 11:04 PM Thanks, Timothy. She is a very radical artist. I'm not sure why I wrote it in the first person. I probably wish I lived with that level of passion.
