small update~

...






i don't really have a clear idea what i want to do here~ which is kind of exciting. and here's a bit of nonsense i wrote today:

The Pool

I wondered the
metropolises that
faded into desert
came to a pool
long dried

look
bones of the earth
sticking out
impossibly delicate curves
against the darkening sky

at the bottom
discarded dreams and
wanton illusions
glitter like colored glass

in awe
i sat on the edge
waiting
to fall in
to break
and dream the dream
in a thousand tiny pieces



best,
Shelly

It's a beautiful picture - all darkly luminous & mysterious. I really like the format, too - hardly anyone uses the fan format but there are some amazing old pictures in it.

Hi Shelly,

both versions are outstanding as usual, but I prefer the bold roughness and the positioned figures in the first version.

You are a great talent.

Best regards,

Patrick.
