“we look for that that does not come and go it cannot be organic form, subject to decay thoughts and beliefs are fickle, how little we know yet come what may, our inner child continues to play” The 'umbilical cord', hereby symbolic, its severance where initiated, a soul of three, and then much more.

I feel so small and so insignificant Waves so tall like white wall magnificent Smelling new blue rain coming fast Feeling pink pain in my bones so bad Memories of the two of us At the beach so new in love As I watch the waves dart and dash I should have known we would not last Reveries of present seagull day Ride...

If all you need to ask, "Is beauty truth?" It isn't much you need to know on earth. It's less than what appraisers say it's worth, This jar with frieze depicting frozen youth. Curators and collectors both agree If forged or stolen, sold dishonestly Museum art debased on pedestals Makes hiding art seem safely tenable. It may be better beauty be destroyed. A little...

a pot of clay to some a piece of art to others a muted shape of brittle ashen brown with subtle ridges hidden to the naked eye meant to be discovered only to the touch my hands linger caressing the arches and the curves etched like an old vinyl record played again once more just between the you and me ~ that...

A Skeleton of Pottery
Splintered gold carpets the ground at her naked feet. Stars spat from skies above crashing down to carve out craters in the earth, barren.

The left is desperately trying to gain a foothold on the soiled neckbones of the socialist the right rallies around their Donny guns and high wall lock and load Tommy gun rhetoric but neither side is working for the working people They live for their own self interests. Everyone shouting about cleaving families but never bat an eye to the mincing of...
