"I Like This Photo"

(and it's digital)

posted it to take attention

away from the piece of work below

I hate it

and there is no equivalent apology to cover it

Was having a conversation with a friend about never self-editing.  Post every piece of work done.  Then I did this.  Not even sure of the beginning anymore.  Kind of thinking somewhere between a bird nest and an egg and a bowl.  It got away from me.  Never did get it back.  Pity.  

Please accept my most humble apologies.

Begging your forgiveness.

"Nystagmic"

(involuntary parenthetical statement)

oscillating follow up

walk on 
with no idea 
where you're going
no paths 
no trails
light is acting as your guide
walk in that direction

these are trees not a tunnel

walk on
walk on 
where you 
have never walked before

"Nip Title"

(nip parenthetical statement)

nip follow up

blame it on the moon

the confusion appeared to be 

mostly gender

there were some of us 

who wanted you 

and some of us 

who wanted to be you

we thought you were honest 

until you lied to us

we thought you were fair 

until you cheated on us

we thought you were the law

until you stole from us

then came that confusion 

about your name 

and where you were born

nothing was ever made clear

I just lost interest 

and 

was no longer amused 

when I thought you thought 

you knew my name

"Nub Title"

(nub parenthetical statement)

nub follow up

Have been trying to convince myself to leave these circles/orbs/coronas behind to pursue other images. I just keep being drawn to them. They are what I think about a lot and what comes to mind when I'm in front of a piece of watercolor paper. This started while planning a book that involves spheres. It is difficult to see the project clearly but am sure I will find the way to achieve it. This started as no more than practice while working on that plan.

I have always been nearsighted. Recently had two eye operations that make it possible for me to see distances.  Have been enjoying clouds immensely. Now I'm enjoying the moon. Have never seen the moon so clearly except in photographs. Absolutely amazing is not too strong of a description.

It is making leaving these circles/spheres/coronas behind difficult. So. Please stay with me.
