“Happy Birthday”
Mixed media on paper, 10”x14”

audience1 springtimeof discontent
omlette intaglio lanterns lament chroma dream of yourself
magpie the embroider need inevitably things slip by abandoned resignation
graceless advantage it starts early coy conformity self help focus on dignity
in the hand or ahead fear of vanity things learned young sometimes above, sometimes below a careful plan
the small things nesting allgrown up summon the monster woodworker
gardener fisherman burden of refuse square shoes black fungus happy birthday
