I break old patterns, colours run, collide, reform. I am clean and new.

Art Class — Sincerely, Jennifer x

‘Twas with storm and October gale she ripped the sail Shredded last threads flapping / faceless flag without stripes Into the gale / fearless calm / face of moon-ash-pale Fate assured / as many feared the Orca axed rock’s sharp scrape * Tsumami waves… his pall bearers strong / buried him deep neath igneous rocks, […]
