“you said Love, for you, / is larger than the usual romantic love. It’s like a religion. It’s / terrifying. No one / will ever want to sleep with you.”

I want to look at it
Of course I want to look
I think I will always want to look at you.
Crooked smiled,
lean legged - golden
haired devil of my soul.
The thought of us together after such a time apart
is absurd.
We know this,
We tip-toe around the
potential togetherness
Thumbing the words between words
On glass planes
Stored in a cloud, somewhere.
Steve maybe knows
but I will never.
Could never
Know the truth between us
A thick,spinning,sweetness of memory
Ripe with nostalgia
Delivered in a melody
A vibration
The plane gyrates
Once,
Twice
Silence.
I pretend
To not acknowledge
the reality.
Divine timing.
Irony reigns
Heartache tinkers at the sane, soft, still
Moments
Like the broken clock
That was
This
Year

“In my dreams I am kissing your mouth and you’re whispering ‘where have you been?’ I say, ‘I’ve been lost but I’m here now. You’re the only person who has ever been able to find me.’”

David Hockney, Paper pools, 1980.
“In the late 1970s, David Hockney began experimenting with the unconventional paper pulp medium in an attempt to capture the subtle hues of shimmering light on water.
Paper Pools is a book chronicling a very specific moment in Hockney’s creative process, a short period in 1978 when on route to California from England, he made a de-tour to Tyler Graphics studios in upstate New York, to visit friend and previous collaborator Kenneth Tyler. Here he was introduced to a new medium, the paper pulp process. This involved dyeing wet pulped rags, which were applied in various ways to recently-created and still wet paper, until they were finally fully pressed and dried; there were opportunities for the artist to manipulate the application of colour at all stages. The result was a cross between paper-making, print-making and painting.”
