Painting Blitz


Let's see today (03.09.10), I wrote 2 paragraphs worth of stuff...one of them went up in an earlier blog.  Then I took a long walk in this heavy overcast day.  When I got back I intended to sit and write for a while but the petulant child inside of me resisted.  She sat in the corner, crossed her arms demanding for something more fun.  Well what could I do?  I've neglected her for far too long.  I scrounged around the studio, found a blank canvas, some paints and brushes.  This pic above was the end product. I painted listening to Nine Inch Nails, yes, I'm kicking it old school.  I forget how changing things up can help get me out of a stuck place.  I feel lighter and brighter for having worked on this piece. The colors are appropriate after such a grey day.  Reds and purples took center stage.  Tomorrow, I'm going to go out to the large equipment shed and see if I can scavenge some loose canvas.  I may be here to write but my spirit is really coming alive as I search for fun things to do.  I've forgotten that word in my vocabulary and here I am trying to reclaim it.  Or at the very least remember it.

Pressed


A cacophony
white noise
of voices.
Iron screeches.
Night presses
intimate contact
with strangers
unnecessary
language as
we are forced
upon each other
like captured pawns.

Open wide and take
a thick deep bite.
Sink teeth onto flesh
and taste a story.
