collage

landing (2005)
charcoal, compressed charcoal, pastel, graphite, on paper (A2)

ethereal

water earth

shiny
round
reflective
glass
water
hole
drips
leaks
cracks
seeps
pushes
surges
cries
whines like a cat
howls like a wolf
screams like an eagle trying to soar
struggles for the draft
that never comes
and claws the throat
with desperate strokes
to breath
what will not leave
alone
in the quiet
in the late light
soft dusk light
light as feathers
soft and warm
warm and curved
curved like a nest
nestled in a hollow
hollow sandy cave
carved from the cliff
weathered from stone
stone smoothed down
smooth enough to lay
down on the ground
ground in the earth
earthed in a tomb
entombed
in a womb
bed
