The Only Mess Forward

12/9/2016

 
For all folks with creative cores.

We

Set sapphire, chrysoberyl, and tourmaline
into metal cast, hammered, shaped,
without regard to placating symmetry.

Fuse ink with paper,
stripping bare
the assumption:
everything is fine.

​Leave gaping holes 
in certainties
with swaths of paint,
breathing life on canvas.

Sculpt questions into clay
with our bare hands,
and with charcoal,
open mouths which ask:
"What could become?"
 
And play flats, sharps, and trills,
​as inquiry frolics, 
in black and white films
with animated polar bears,
nude.
