poem: watching for flashes of fantastic action

watching for flashes of fantastic action
cobble together a reason to live
bail out the second I start feeling traction
“any” is more than I’m ready to give
stack of blank papers the height of my thrift

sketch: bought the rights

crude mono trace of a nude female figure sitting, holding her head in disappointment

sketch: what are we reading

crude mono trace of a nude female figure sitting on the floor

poem: touch of real feeling

touch of real feeling
gives it some heart
first on the block
for a while

sketch: this has to be done

crude mono trace of a nude male figure crouched in a fighting stance, foreshortened

poem: seeking out birdsong and signs of wild nature

seeking out birdsong and signs of wild nature
making a living from scratches on paper
counting on changes some day that will favour
tasting the world and its myriad flavours
