You are

One of those people
That I feel privileged to have known
Even just a little bit.

Can't Draw


I'm feeling slightly anxious
Right -
Now --
Because I want to draw
But I can't --
My neck twinges with
The e x c i t e m e n t
Of the world I want
To create  --
This energy
From within
Makes me defy
The mind
That says rest --
Because I feel
And fear -
That if I leave my world
Of little lines
For too long -
It will disappear
Forever --
I need to find
A new way to build
My world.

Butter Dish

Darling, I now have a butter dish
that is shaped like a cow

                      - Leonard Cohen

"That one was for you."

I wrote it on my wall
And held it in my heart.
So now that I've remembered it -
I plan to use it in my art.

My bookcase.

I can't read anything you ever mentioned --
What I want right now -
Is to throw Pynchon's 760 pages
At your head --
And hide half of my books -
Because even their worn out spines
Remind me of you.
