Brisk

Bright Blue Nakedness of morning

How you mock me

with your brittle grin.

Life is cold

And truth is dead

but still you hang above

with love and peace beyond our reach

Werewolf Tower

Take all your stars

far

far away

but leave me a single, fresh fountain of white

to blow on my windows

and glow in the night

and I’ll howl

at my window til shadows take flight

Knowledge

Shine upon my heart and hands

fill my veins with strength divine

give me bright and blinding light

that paints the truth upon my skin

A Stage Well Set

in well-worn rooms

dimly lit dreams of love heavily loom

the way the mouth moves when it speaks

the sort of voice you taste before you

hear

inhale

inhale her

Experiments in Abstraction

il_570xN.455752970_navq

Life is a fragmented experience

A flurry unfocused

Art creates magnetic moments, drawing us in

pulling us apart

Simultaneously shielding and revealing

Pushing us to relinquish and reclaim

Opposing ideas meet

Brawl

then into one another they bleed

creating a truth beautifully cohesive

Violet and her Dog

“Violet and her Dog” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse

When I worked as an Executive Assistant a few years back, I had days where I worked until my brain turned into farts followed by days where I could draw in my office for hours without getting caught. One afternoon I drew about 40 different alien/monster/creature-things and left them on desktops and toilets. This one was pulled from that bunch.
