sprightly cheep from high flier mourning bird,
pulsating heart aroused by what I
heard

The wheel of time follows no straight line.

i dreamt
i moved into a apartment
with an old brick wall
and its decaying face
the old light hanging from a thread
swings on the open breeze
from the window

Oil Pastels
Greasy film,
touch like silk,
glides across my sketch pad,
before it's time to have a nap,
bright, bright pastels,
etched across my nostrils,
in such fluorescent colours,

Warm nights I sit drawing innuendo,
kicking my feet I hold a white sketch pad;
How in the world are you oblivious
to the soft strokes I indulge...

Boredom...
Looking around,
trying to find something of interest.
The clock on the wall, mocks me,
"Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock,
find something to do"

Broken tree limbs and shattered windows scattered about,
Where woodland animals now seek...

Siesta nap
Step by step

In word mime
Strange new chimes


Quotes ply
A fond try
By and by


Lush lines
