Block Printing

In mid-November, I started making block prints (e.g. linocuts). I had been drawing for two years as a kind of counterpart to my efforts in writing. Lately, I have been working on visual arts much more than my writing...

TENSION OF PRESENCE

 A human being is content searching for form.  My spirit flows away from me, reaching back to this Earth, returns to me anew, a force of Becoming. I am a river that ebbs and flows. ME crashing into NOT-ME, just as this world is eternally unrestful, always at war with itself. Constant movement presses us toward the present; we are carried onward, but we may clutch about in fright, lurching forward or retreating into memory. These are the integrations of a tumultuous mind: thinking that it is,  needing to be, yet becoming something unfamiliar.

HIGH AND DRY IN SANTA FE

It is snowing. Looking out the window- I sit in my room waiting (no car, unmotivated [city on COVID lockdown], oh well).  The snow looks like Dippin Dots. It rests on our balcony. My wife went out, came back in; now cotton candy-like fluff all over.  Only water. I wish I had my car but I really don't have anywhere I want to go. My eyes drift to the yellowing leaves, intermixed with fading greens. The ivy, by contrast, is going red. I want my car. I have nowhere to go. Without it,  I feel stranded in the middle of a desert.

EXILE

  1. Permitted one day:   collect things be beyond border or else.   2. A broken circle closes behind me.   I spin-off indefinitely, absent gravity.   3.   My memories disserve me—I must leave that life behind   again and again; again and again.   4.   I see familiar forms. I think I am home— I slip into an abysmal zone— I gaze into a labyrinth  of memory,  sink into a haze of yesterday’s today.   5.   I did not abandon your memory. It might return.
