Here's a follow up to last month's post A Safe Easy Way To regarding the writing/painting project I'm collaborating on. I now have what is the beginning, hopefully, of a suite of paintings to go with my friend Andy Berg's writing...

"Lien", 2016, oil on canvas, 40X40"
lien
“i’m fitting the fudge”
come out all ‘PH-uh-dj’
[teeth and
lip]
hole and holy-head
cave-woven afghan protection
unravel gaza-abolition
(…a sometimes silent night)
Read this like fumes
arisen, a-raisin
petal
puncture
wound
“Imagine life with out those toofs, compadre.”
[ I am a
vision of she who brokers ]
[a—(impossibilityofsunshine)—wake ]
[…or put she a lien
upon ]
[ dem
black-toothed nightmares of yerz ]

"Spontaneous ralos", 2016, oil on canvas, 44X48"
spontaneous ralos
ssssssmuch todo
without
lay me down,
ley mi dohwn, in the
sun in the shining branches
old telemetrical networking schematic
solar suoenatnops
vulgarities skinsnap
break through the ethereal gap
mother put-pot of tea
forkful a bitter sleep-fever-sweat
there’s sleep to be had down there
keep me awake, sleep to be had down there
show me the fun-sun

"Marketable kids", 2016, oil on canvas, 40X40"
The marketable kids on market street
sing “yeah-yeah”s
beef-eaters, every last one
she climbs an effortless waif
tree
he folds a filterless phone
plane
and drift…don’t they drift,
…along the gutter
all they
ever, ever wanted was some
(uh),body
thumb-pointer-hole circle
world within widened-wizened old man
park bench projection-perspective
all he’ll ever want
now, is some bod
-eee
And in march they’ve all been/hear the crack-potential
spring unwinding, dwindling, leaf-fuck -stop.
“You put a period there,” they say, “and more “yeah-yeah”s.”
yeah………………yeah………………yeah
