How Am I ?

 How am I?

Let me pick a few ripe fruits 

from invisible trees in this garden, 

I swear we're standing in right now.

Would you like a tour?

Or, we can sit a bit.

I'll fix you a plate.

Once I have sufficiently moistened the little puck, I like being able to share the yellow, or any other color, over multiple surfaces so that I might make better use of the paint.

Play time Tuesday.

Whittling Kindling

You thought the time spent on the porch

might get you a bird or a whistle, 

a whale, turtle, pipe.

You paid attention to proper knives, 

care and cleaning, and the 

just right wood.

In the end you merely added shavings 

to the fire that warmed your life. 

A ghost of smoke now.

Thursday morning poem

Quink Water

This morning I discovered that Parker Quink ink does not stay put when I brush some watercolor over it.

I wonder if I start with watercolor and come back around. Next experiment, I guess.

I have watched Youtube videos.

I am reminded of the Chinese saying:

"Don't believe what they say. Go see."

Getting closer all the time

 

Art Space

 I have some experiments to make. I'd like to make them close enough together that I might document what works.

Elbow room.

Speedball Dandelion

 Here is one of only a few Speedball Dandelions in my first book.

I do NOT mean it to indicate that I ever had any artistic tendencies.

Coconut Wine

 Except for a few speedball black ink dandelions

I made no attempts at artistic embellishments

in my first handwritten book of poetry.

They Say - poem

 

They Say

There may be some gems in here.

You might have to blow the dust a bit.

Critical minerals might require some smelting.

You get what you pay for.

They say.

The idea has recently been

that the legend is supplied 

for you and the map requires

you to fill in the blank page.

It's an idea, a work in progress.

Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams

the day was enough of a day 

nothing to pack or put away 

explain, define, approve, acquire 

nothing left to wonder till 

far tomorrow seeming distant

slipping between the sheets 

the temperature perfect

 the humidity A-okay

this old body feels - agreeable

stretching a bit to find a place 

every place better than fine 

even more than comfortable

no aches, pains, worries, concerns 

the breathing ... breathing easily

Sweet dreams soon and 

good, good night

Nothing to it

 

Nothing to it

When there’s nowhere to go

and nothing to do 

I go there 

and do 

that. 

No promise but proximity.

No direction but desire. 

Nothing to it.

April 12th Hobo Anthem since ever when 1973, or 2, who knows? 

There were hobos stirring soup in the Kettle of Creation.

Fish stories.

Mostly.
