Rusty
Dirty
Soiled
Blacken
Water drips
On my skin
As a bunny runs across my feet.
Going through the rubber on my boot
Just barely touching my skin
In pictures
It seems like every,
Item
Was meant to be there
No trespassing
Police take notice
Third floor
Now on the first
Or maybe second
The paint peeling away at the walls
Revealing
The sad and cold concrete
Revealing
What it once was
Wonder what's inside of you
Wonder what stories you have
Wonder if it's even stories at all
Now just laying there
Perfectly down the center of the colors,
Peeling back,
The art that was once perfect.
Showing its other side
It's not the same color
That house
Destroyed and burnt
But it had to be done,
To let the spirits go free
One stood tall
Proud owner of a family
Today thinks its behavior has no consequences
Thinks nothing of itself
Therefore could make it dangerous
Only thinking about its own effect
The only memory now
Is the smell of smoke and dust
We have burned the past memories in to replace the news ones
Im plugging away at the poetry (and or) aphorisms. Im also starting to make and finalize some accordion books to go along with the wall installation. Ive been playing with some more "organic" type and some not so organic type. I wanted to get the class thoughts on what vibe works best before I proceed.

would the type go with the images? separate?
ReplyDeleteconsider whether images and language should be competing with each other.
p.s., this work may relate.
