The rosy pink
that kissed your flesh
is floating through the room like ash
and here I lay
alone but warm
tangled up in soft goodbyes
“The Morning After” Unfinished Poem by Angie Hoover- Hillhouse
Photo by Noel Alvarenga
Boarded up and left alone
quietly sleeping on the hill
.drafty windows.
.weeping willow.
where I used to be
she’s not so sad to me, no.
she’s not so old to me
squeeking doors and scuffed up floors
tattered drapes
torn from their rods
songs and lies down every hall
but still there’s sweetness in this dust
Unfinished Song by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse

The Beard Pencil Sketch by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse
I bought a series of pieces from an artist named Irana Douer (see her work here: http://www.keepinmind.com.ar/) who often paints women drowning in beds of their own hair. This bearded man is inspired by her work.
