Doodles, peace

Doodles on the paper
this is how the artist
lets go of the tension

ask and you will be answered

This is the fundamental lie
that questioning leads to an answer
maybe it is not that great, the answer
that arrives.

this is art

watermark, is what's left
a splotch
onto dark paper

at twenty seven

I, the ultimate spoken
no longer look at my reflection
ugly duckling in my teens
a swan but not with beauty, with a pride
a step taken at twenty seven

Art & a heart

Like a swallow, it arrives
all the art that has been compiled
out of a scratched out heart

a theater difference

There was a time when people got out of the theaters
having memorized the music, the lyrics,
that was before the theaters closed down
sealed with red wax.
