summer

here is another poem, or what have you.

ironically written right before the frustrated Laundry and Money...

Vitamin D

at the end of the day

Skin still warm from the <sun> absorbed on a river bank,

smells of Summer, must in the bedroom of our old humble rental

noticing black spots on your hands and arms as Ink has become a part of you.

Realization of being an Artist.

Being Happy.

And knowing what will make your Life.

I walk to the sink in my underwear

turn on the faucet, letting water engulf my hands

feeling the cool water against my face

I Breath.

I Breath Art.

And I don't want to ever Breath anything Less.

                             --K.ASH.

My life as it is now.

i have entered uncharted territory.

the only way to explain is to publish it the way it has written in my head over and over all week.

 yeah, didn't know i write occasionally? well, as you will find as you read below, there is a reason why. but really, why not?

Laundry and Money

I think of doing Laundry

and my Dog's fur against my face as she naps, her my pillow

a fan blowing, tickling the bottom of my feet

The Moment is slipping by and all that I can think about is...

                                   MONEY

                        not enough

                        never enough

                        i'm not good enough.

My Mind Is Consumed.

I cannot move. Desperatetomoveandunabletobreath.

drowning in a sea of doubt and debt to better myself to The Standards. The Standards.

The Standards that They say will make my debt go away. SomeDay.

I don't understand.

My Dog sighs. And I long to be a Dog too.

                          --K.ASH

let's face it, i'm no Allen Ginsberg or e.e.cummings, Walt Whitman or Jack Kerouac. but this is how the past three weeks have been. i feel like i've been just making excuses as i have abandoned my blog over and over again. i swear it's not you, it's me.

by the end of the day, i'm out of creative juices. i finished my spring semester in april, and the monday following i started may term. it's been a crazy three weeks of print and photo etching. don't feel too bad, i abandoned my sculpture as well for the past month. i feel awful about it, and look forward to getting back started on it.

BUT...

in other news, speaking of sculpture, my dragonfly has been recognized as an official waypoint mark, and has been written about in the Shelby Living magazine!

i'm featured on page 9.

but, i will say, that is an awful picture :)

thanks to whoever is reading...
