Mind Jewels, paper collage, 2021
whether to dance in the displaced saltwater of infinity or let the rooftops and their mercenaries of blue-eyed daffodils consume me no chance. don’t you know these orbits are without feet writing and answering without valor or purpose still. with you, i am sentimental over eternity a stampede of butterflies making music across my forehead a fool in sadness and in retrospect
Prints for “Mind Jewels” (and a bunch of other collages) are now available in my Etsy shop. So is my new chapbook, Has Had Paradise.
Thank you for supporting my work.

“with you, i am sentimental over eternity…a fool in sadness and in retrospect”…this is good…an acceptance of life where we question purpose and yet finding a way to make it as lovely as “butterflies making music”…fools perhaps…but beautiful ones at that.
