When you're so absorbed writing...

Aside: I not only stand while writing, I tend to walk around when I'm composing in my head

...that you mislay the salad you're eating for lunch and have to go around the house searching for it.

the hues of your life
are tinged with gray smudges of fear
that hide you from yourself
until you discover
magenta is inside you, too
so you brush yourself alive
as you discover
other colors on your pallete
you would like to use
to be who you can be
in your living masterpiece

magenta wine-
kissed memories
of summer days
in evergreen
shining warm
like a hearthfire
crackling, stalwart against
the draft of
winter's biting cold

Flowers #crowd my ankles like teeth on an anglerfish; more than I could hold with anything but eyes. I let them swallow me. Bees taste the sweat on my wrists and decide: an ok place to rest but otherwise useless. The green universe goes on around me. This is the blessing of being harmless.

"Say it!"
"No!"
"Say it, Hans."
"My name's not Hans!"
"I WILL drop you."
“Fine, okay, you win!”
“I need to hear you say it.”
"Die Hard is a Christmas movie!"

I know you're here, canary ghost. All it takes is one good song. Suddenly I'm a silverplated #sunflower growing from a dirt floor. The darkness touches my roots with reverence, and day risks its pretty satin bindings sneaking through collapsed shafts.

Sing sing. Shine shine.

Yours,
Mine

Globally, we could
Do with an interval, a
Break from reckless hate.

#Augury mist
A lovelorns miscast spell
Madhatters and jingle bells

Leads to a carnival of fate
With bone dry wells
Falling in mesmerised

Cupids cruel prank
Where all the lost hearts dwell

Nobody at this naptime wants to listen to how afternoons are unbearable across all dimensions, even if it takes until evening. One person even covered their doldrums and went la la la la la

When I record an album I build up a virtual "band" and use it for the whole thing. My next album 'Fisher King' is no exception.
Some of the material for 'Fisher King' hasn't made the cut but I love this little guy. Here's the "band" having a laugh between more serious work ☺️

I would rather sew you a full raccoon costume than hem a pair of pants for you.

Once you can put in a zipper, no one can stop you. You can put a zipper anywhere. I mean, look at pencil cases.

of too many
words spoken
portending a future

It's that time of year again for #ArtAdventCalendar!

For Day 1, we're starting off with my latest painting that I just finished yesterday:

“Misty Forest”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a dark, closed-in forest with breaks of sunlight and fog. (with slightly-hidden kitty)
