chocolate smudge
the ritual of ink
on paper

the property of her eyes
I cannot hear
the radio

branded chest
a rope turned
the memoir of a portrait

he draws on an arm
she
takes off her top

hold you close
to feel
more than the weather

Some memories, a couple of hundred words and a photo-haiga-thingy

in the August edition of Pearl magazine (view here, go to page 17).

Here's the complete portfolio produced

for the single, salient, stunning piece selected for publication.

Thanks to Andrea Louise Thomas for the invitation.

1812

returned to earth
we navigate
lost terrains

31712

our primary industries
the art of words
the textures of flesh

30712

unfamiliar pillows
stiff white sheets
she liked to boogie

29712

a story she tells
of his fingers
at the service station

28712

a hand on my heart
her pledge
to the vanity of dreams

27712

in sleep
the smooth heat of her arms
the chastity of her hands

26712

neither high nor low
a balloon
on the breeze

25712

the nectar
and satin smooth
she knows as well as I do

24712

liquid pink
our lips
between

23712

we spoon
in my arms
fantasies

22712

fingers spread
on a gloss painted door
she leaves with her friends

21712

an ancient position
host
and client

20712

i ask her to open
before we become
photographs and memories
