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
