The Day I Went To War: 9 ~ Whisps

 




Whisps 


Whisps


Oh dear


Whisps


Through the tents


Across the field 


Candle light 


Or gas


Roiling 


With poison fingers 


As the last drop


Drowned us


All around 


Tall grass


Rolling hills


A yellow house 


A blue face


A porch


A basement 


The hollowed out 


Passage 


Just big enough 


Under 


The concrete 


Slab

Studio Update & Latest Painting

The delectable mess I left after last week’s painting episode 

Got to get everything away from the old table 
Ready for the new desk setup…which I still need to get cleaned
I thought… while this is clear I’ll take a few pics…
Obviously of the cat, not the painting… 
I’m feels pretty satisfied with this latest stage
I mean, it’s very there
My eye satisfactorily scans and scans this happily 
Lil bits of iridescence and flecks of warm gold
Not counting the under painting, we have three stages of image building… 

To think that I was told at school that art wasn’t for everyone…

This work has determined that that was a lie.

Remember kids, there are ACTUAL frauds out there who spew lies and nonsense and hope never to be caught in the gaslighting they do. 

For whatever unloved trauma wound they base their drama from, keep doing you. Don’t even think of it as a rejection, just, find another venue for your path to journey on. 

Some people wouldn’t know authenticity even if it slapped them in the face. And they hate it when you express yours. 

Basically I’m saying your future is so bright that you will have to wear shades love. 

Anyway 

Class dismissed lol

The Day I Went To War: 8 ~ The Average Horizon





The Average Horizon 


Typical 


Space


Turf


Terra


In terror 


Twins


In apogee 


Laying in hate


Under the closet


Floor boards 


Is obvious 


And the game


Sorry


With sentinels all


Scatter


As the tears


Fill the eyes


Of a fawn


Caught 


In the limelight

The Day I Went To War: 5 ~ From The Left Fork





Never 


Had a thought 


That


A bib


Would be 


A drive


And 


A habit 


While being served


Gravel


And mash


A tumbler


Full of spite


With a wardrobe 


Behind you 


The door


I spy


Ajar


Message on arrows 


Fly


From 


A window


As you stab


Again


The grizzle


From the left 


Fork

The Day I Went To War: 4 ~ When The Thunder Grew Close




I laid waste 


Covered 


The trenches


With 


Every ounce 


Of blood I had


Thicker


Than water


Doubled


As 


A duvet


When the thunder 


Grew close


Shudders


Now shellers 


Given 


Punch drunk lines


As the enemy 


Slept


Hallo


Is there anyone 


Left

The Day I Went To War: 3 ~ The Book




The curtains 


Drawn


To keep true


You 


In carton


With the rest of


That expired milk


In helium 


In Herculaneum 


On the brink


Sat on the sink


Overdue 


I scribbled 


Your image 


Opaque 


On a page


This 


You said


Could be the end 


Of this


Cold Cold War


If anyone


Would bother 


To look up


From 


The book

The Day I Went To War: 2 ~ Explosives




I peeled 

Back the shell


In shock


As the powder 


Left it’s cold


Metal


Room


Flitting 


Like candlelight 


To the floor


I saw


Glitter 


At 3:15 am


As the foundry


Made paperwork 


I watched 


In 


Microcosm 


A firework 


Finale

The Day I Went To War: 1~ In The Crosshairs


In the crosshairs:


I wrote a speech

And understood 

Where 


The surplus 


Was being hidden


Or held


In ransom 


To starve the enemy 


The one 


The target


The goal


Solely 


Contemptuously 


Wholey 


Held 


In the crosshairs

Studio Renovations



I have done some serious rethinking!!!


Made a few 
Vignettes 
Along my way 


The last week
In progression 
Is a thing
Of the past


Tried 
Myriad 
Of 
Configurations


I knew
The only way to salvation 
Was 
Minimal 
Minimalism 
And 
Floating 
Furniture 
To release the jesses
So we 
Can
Fly


I directed 
Dust
And stain
With
Tub
And brush
Uncovering 
The hidden
Treasures


Let them go
While I prepared 
For more substantial 
Finials
And 
Flourishes 


Untangled 
A years worth
Of camouflage 
And let
Those elements 
Climb
And thrive
In
Newer nests


The day was ending
And my cup was full


Ready 
Really 
Ready 
For the next moves 


Before the torrent 


After bliss


Settling images 
Into places
Some 
Very temporary 


Others 
Landing proposals 
And staking claims 
As
An army 
Of resolve 


What’s next?
The lil desk from our porch
Gets a full clean and emptying 
Putting 
Me in relax mode 
For today…

The Studio
Has taken a new breath.
