The Morgue

This post should really be called

"Too Chicken to Post"

One of the the ideas when I started this blog was to share with the viewers many of the entries in my sketchbooks. Part of those entries are letters I write to Dear God, Dear Universe, Dear Humanity, Dear Energy and a couple of others that show up from time to time. I sometimes even write to myself, Dear Iggy, but I am doing that anyways if no one else sees the entries. The truth is I am way too scare to show something so private and revealing, not to mentioned that anyone that knows me will be able to figure out who I am going on about, falling in love with (that week) or many other little things I share with a select group of individuals, because I need their attention (Leo - August 18). Tonight I was looking at several sketch books thinking about posting a couple of entries and it ain't going to happen - not tonight - and maybe never.Above is the sketch for one of three paintings I have not worked on for several (six) months. They gave away to other things I am doing but I think I am about to go back to all three in November after the set for "The Servant of Two Masters" is done. The reason I chose this painting is that with it came a poem or better yet the poem came first then the sketch. So a way to not feel so bad about not sharing the deep personal stuff is to give you a poem. I think I have the final version of this poem at work so I may change the poem by tomorrow.

It is two for one

at the morgue

Golden Liquid?

"I'll take it"

10:47 and all the boys are here

looking pretty ass the absent girls

their hot topic darkness

not their own, borrowed

and i

Barton Fink on steroids

our touch of death

looks so different

no strength in it

a pale thin weakness

if we could see it

wrinkle, old, unforgiving

without the exuberance of heroin

weak and full of life

another contradiction

and here at the morgue

we are all looking

acceptance, love, affirmations

no one escapes the value

of being, a puzzle piece

so we dance

grasping the veil

of a fictitious underworld

accepting transparencies
