Trying to Explain

Everything I ever want to say can be found along the wayside
in an overgrown 
countryside
ditch
on the edge of summer.
"bee" - 8" x 11" acrylic on clay-board

the damp soil 
the blooming weeds 
the quiet cooling breeze 
it's all there

My words are 
All of All not spoken
"Looking Forward" - 6"x 6" acrylic on canvas

the broken wings of a mallard 
caught mid flight
by a huntsman's aim... 
the shifting sands of the desert...
the wet of a dogs eye

breathlessness
newborn
orgasmic
"Lies" -18" x 24" acrylic on canvas

I belong to life
I whisper like this...
first layer  -24" x 18" pencil on wood-board

essence of wine
kiss of roses
Sorrow 
Heat
Bells

The dry souls of feet long walking
handmade everything
spun
sifted
and done up with coral
"Beneath the Surface" -8" x 11" acrylic, pencil, chalk on clay-board

Words are hard and soft and full
and spill out onto everything

Words like
Swan
Snail
Horizon
Bend
and Fig

my heart speaks in this kind of song 
in this way
to this kind of listening
"Ingesting Magic Orbs" -24" x 19" acrylic and pencil on Bristol paper

one day 
when I'm gone 
if you catch the sparkling glint of broken glass 
beneath a seaside cliff
or teardrops wet
across a child's cheek

know I was this and more
Forever

stars and dust and dew
"Yesterday" - 4" x 4" acylic, paper collage on canvas
