Low tide reveals the sandbar, my soul on barefoot walking calm searching where I first came in.

I met Monet in his princely demeanor, among the manicured lawn and the secret garden grows its verdant sprigs and tresses, wild and free in the prairie. Butterfly flutters paint palette hovering bloom after bloom. Solitude drips in cadmium and ochre sun sitting prominently, potted and composed, regal and undisturbed. A gentle touch of [...]

Not a soul passes by but me cradled on this steel machine hugging the asphalt hard chase the broken lines fading into the infinite sky. I see the tyre burning marks like tattoos criss-crossing, shifts of directions of going and coming into your life. A rugged kind of art you have mastered with [...]

Imagine yourself playing the part. The melody in a slow tempo touching the white bones in mine. The blank spaces glide filling the staves into octaves where rhythms of silence are aching to be heard. The approaching train in locomotion slowly halting to a rest and the muse steps out in a sudden hush. [...]

I can feel it now across this table in the old diner of this no man’s land, The sound of shuffling deck of cards. Or is it the leaves in autumn falling in September- that he will remember? Do you know what it feels like to be buried in cans and tins of paint, [...]

In the old quarter of the city, in the nakedness of the cold walls of this back street. I sit alone, outside. Here. In the almost empty corner of the café. Looking beyond many mornings distant, from the crowd. There is something. In the stale morning air that reminds me of one strange midnight. [...]

It’s like a white plate. Soiled and you try to wash it afloat with suds of soap and rinse repeatedly at the sink. Letting it dry and wait until the film of water subsides down into its gleamy surface. You try to contain the glister. The immaculateness of being unbroken, unsplintered. Fragile. It’s like [...]
