broken in the rain,
repair is complicated
and plans misplaced.
all parts are fallen,
sanguine and separated,
vulnerable to rust.
solitary fragments
wait for the miracle
of reattachment.
magic craves time,
sacrifice and surrender
to reanimate
this static wreckage
that still pulsates with dreaming,
and magic must be fed.
drawing and poem by clinock.
Are you weathering the storm?
thank you Kathleen – yes, am under full sail and the compass is true…
Painting reminds me of discarded pieces of Lobsters…and your work adds the element of Life & metamorphic continum of the discarded pieces of Lobsters
“I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.”

Thanks Babajij…
Wow!!
This holds a lot of resonance for me.
It’s amazing to me that no matter how we break, we still contain all our pieces and the template remains.
Thank you

Wonderful words Gary, thank you my friend…
Magic does take time………especially to put this drawing back together again. Who cares, it is a fine drawing just as it is.
Magic dances between the lines eh Robert – thank you oh perceptive one…
…”still pulsates with dreaming” yes, I can see that, John.
A beautiful Monday and new week to you, my friend.
I know you can Marina…and thank you for this…
This is very compelling. I really appreciate the complexity.
Many thanks Debra – I appreciate your comment…
This is beautifully multilayered. I love it!
and I get to see you twice – what a treat – thank you again…
H John, somehow all the peaces come back together and the dream is over… Lovely and it will haunt me tonight. 🙂 Amazing art!
Thanks for the happy thoughts Ina and I hope the haunting was a good one and didn’t deprive you of sleep…
Your work has reminded me of the McCartney song “Broken bicycles.” We have a version sung by Anne Sofie von Otter & Elvis Costello which is also haunting and beautiful.
thanks Philippa – will check it out tonight…
