a change i need.

i am not feeling very satisfied with the experiments in color and am thinking about getting back to charcoal. i know you my fans love the color but i don't feel that i have done anything fabulous with oil pastel and acrylic paint. that is just what i am thinking about. my therapist would probably say you are going back to somewhere safe.

the creek

a red vest found on a bridge by the creek that runs through this town. i saw colors. abandoned hope. a body lost but soon to be found. a young naked boy in the river his body blue as ice. his body dead, and cold like a long island iced tea on fire island. a hole in my striped stockings. but i keep looking. and when i find him.... the beauty of purification. it was a suicide.

a frost of window

dogboy bites in the cold of a winter night as i sit mastubating in the shaodows of childhood. and his name is jason and he appears at my window. and i am perplexed. but i am also pleased that satan has presented this gift. the gift of the knife i hold and i invite him into my darkness,
i take my chance with the knife but when i slice it out nothing comes out of him but sunlight and then only then i know that i have betrated god.
