(biographical dead)

1.
She walks American, cur chirping
On ass-end of satellite.

Ribbons of wrist, fingers backward;
Scent acid-floral; green
Feet, red mud, blood and dirt.

(I went inside,
Or inside
Came to me. Dogs

In the echo
Of moon, a dead
Bald, baby
Bird, a shape
Like
Elderly
Neck

To a hangman

Mouth agape

At knots of reason...)


2.
We can discuss our misery
If we've earned it
We can forget our misery
If we try

3.
We'll say 'shy', simply converted
From dangerous sleep
Into safety of boredom

Now evoked omnipotent.

(The anonymous send antidote to ego.
As faint as possible, faces
Converse to imagination
Bare obscenity in
A circle of
Blindness. Ugly

To know the ghost

Has a preference for life...)

Good painting the last two days. Two canvases for "The Flight of the Arctic Hummingbird" series, but ran into a snag on a third. Ah well, good thing about acrylic...you can slop some white paint on it and start all over. (Some texture from the previous layer showing through. It's never a waste of paint. The last layer guides the next, even if it's largely obscured.)

Found the drawings for the 'Don Juan Matus' transparencies.
Time to do that series soon. Dig up the opaque projector and jump right in...

Beginning editing of 'Undersamesky'

It's my first book-length collection, and it's great. I need a publisher.
