Somewhere, way out there I know of souls who grapple With the Big Questions The ones I only hear echos of. Here on Earth, in my little nest, I play parlor tricks of the mind Looking for emptiness And finding it winking back As everything and everyone. But I don’t fool myself Into thinking it is significant Or somehow adds anything To what a single...

Premium Member Richard Diebenkorn - Seated Woman, Umbrella 1967

They were saccharine, soapy, goo-goo gargantuous. She put all of her clothes in Richard’s closet, he was the top of the mark. Seven years later, Lulu is divorcing Richard, her king. Except now...
