Solo Performance
It had been a hellish week.
On Monday
my lonely and tired AfricanAmerican husband
told me, as gently as possible,
that what I had hoped was a temporary separation
is to be extended into perpetuity.
This separation had been scheduled to...

Of humanity and creatures
The founder of patriarchal

The coy the toy of the wife
Beauty of nature and life
The belike of Bowie...

Colonisation
Bombarded by myriads of daily data without cease,
I suggest a forthright discourse on this topic,
carousel of trend and sound adherence merely looming?
some unwitting sentiment an aspirational diction,
reverberation or innuendo pending aftermath augur,
the world...

With My Dying Breath
* My take on the theme of my contest. Just for fun.
A canopy of silvery stars speckle the ebon expanse above me, at once beautiful but at the same time, taunting. For if these...

The EXIT sign above the open white door

My Wife the Paper Shredder
Buried in an avalanche you

nonetheless sky scraping heap

shaped tube anchored securely thru
solid wood - sporting

The Lights
I am going to see the lights.
The glow of the city will make a perfect backdrop to the painting I am envisioning.
Far enough away to see the twinkle of headlights and the shine of skyscrapers,...

Briding Her Groom
We witnessed a wedding
of Groomed BridePassion,
Yanged Yintegrity
Groomed co-enlightened strengths
in cooperative economic space
with Bridal co-empowering flow
through sacred inter-generational time
Throughout each organically wedded network
explodes summer's green emphatic climax,
ripe
hot
wet triumphal passions
Yet also witnessing Earth's impending
imploding winter dormancies,
EarthMother's cold
barren
dystopian...

when my deconstructed self
discovered there was no authentic anything
saw through it all every granule
how we became the unwitting tools
of smarter people who really weren't smart enough

My Painting
The landscapes I paint have a fence or two
Some with pegs stout and straight
Some with bars broken and bent
A fence between the grey gravelly pathway
And the flashy flowery garden swathe
Or between the rippling river...

Baudrillardian Echo
Baudrillardian Echo
I awoke this morning with a profound vision of a painting.
A sort of Baroque ensemble of consequence, still lingering.
I've put it to pen, since it's quicker than painting.
The contortion of life...

A potion to quiet the hungry voice
I’ve brewed so many potions still you are
I’ve made elixirs from hydrogen to quiet you
Nothing I do is a cure for my lonesome electron
We all have a voice spinning around in our heads
Are yours...

Seascape Dynamic Portrait
The sea paints an ever-changing portrait of itself in water colors.
The images roll through your view finder or your eyes as you watch.
Sometimes it is glassy silky smooth, syrupy, reflective.
You get to paint the sky...

Large Frame Painting
I used to envy still life painters
longing to see
organic geometric relationships
between full-color light
and irregular isolating forms,
These close to self-identity
and those background wildernesses
of bright and happy adventure
or dark and fear-filled
encroaching climate pathologies
unenduring nightmare epic nights.
