over words and broken dreams the new emerges
tattered and worn as the last forgotten scene
played out but never ending
time elastic
dates irrelevant
the slow progression imperceptible but apparent.
resistance a futile exercise in self flagellation
whipping boy of desperate measures
wild abandon, cognitive interruptus, coitus excess
fading into oblivion, the weight lifting
interior by design.  

blood rushing in vain as brush licks at cool gray

thick and smooth, resistant

onyx, ebony, rich, insistent 

gesso recedes imprisoned and repentant, released by a single stroke.

raven pool, dark in light and out of reach,

deep and intransigent but capable of influence.

chromatic whorls in monochromatic space,

the yearning, the slash and scrape, the scratch

submerged, the churning, convulsing

before the turbulence subsides and

fades to black. expanding universe

of light and frequency, electromagnetic

radiation, photons of acrylic, oil

and gouache, oscillate in transverse waves of chroma.

harmonic disturbance, evanescent dissonance,

gravitational collapse, complete surrender.
