To Tarnynon:
in the dark city
silenced by fear
my light found me
***
shifting ground
unstable present tense
forget the future
***
tremor
glass on concrete
smash shards cut blood
***
red images
spiral layers form
when i close my eyes
***
Why bother?
Who cares?
what is the point?
***
and then intent disappeared.
***
Center the clay body.
Open, pull, trim.
catch energy in a bowl.
***
Spark. sizzle.
Cavemen discovered fire. What is fire?
Concentrated energy.
***
art is concentrated energy.
wisdom from observation.
action from neurons.
***
something from nothing.
it was trash.
now it is poetic.
