Obsessive Creative
As a means to convey the intense obsessive creative drive it took to complete Star Yantra in a relatively short time span — all while carrying on a real life — I decided to write this poem:
stars and yantra pedals
sleep, what is sleep
when the body is wired on bird song
brushes never dry
papers littered with words
soup pots waiting to be filled
counter cluttered by deep greens, vegetables
from a garden still brimming with food and just as many weeds there is nothing to clean up,
worry about, cook, obsess over
when the quiet point of color lingers just behind the eye waking up every morning with the burn
just enough time for tea and ablutions
something expediently nourishing besides raw creation
perpetually persisting
yearning to witness what will happen next
momentarily inconvenienced as communications demand answers
bills clamor, chores groan, guests arrive and are left alone
as this budding half century of life has grown
fuller, not so spindly and wild with gypsy abandon
as it once was finally, driving to move the image into shape
step onto the whirring wheel
of iridescence and discovery
of light-splattered dreams and emptied bottles of water my coveralls and hair
inhabiting themselves soon enough Diabetes treatment is continuous because the disease may affect person in different ways. buying levitra from canada https://unica-web.com/watch/2010/courier.html The first step a chiropractor takes a medical history, performs a physical examination, and may use lab tests to determine if the cerebellum is functioning properly and if it is not, what side of purchase cheap viagra the cerebellum needs to be rehabilitated.

when immersed in a shop overflowing with engines
and the double yellow lines of progress humming
with the efforts going on beside me I stand, sit, lay, reach
climb to drape on scaffolding
knee pads, ladders, alternating postures
to keep the body captivated
as I drag my oil-soaked square of shag
around the canvas
like a yoga mat intended to shield me
from the dew of undistinguished liquid swamping around me
warmed by halogen bulbs and recycled oil
family dinners, the joyous shrieks of 10 year old spontaneous dance parties
and co-collaborative opinion offering
accompanying the regular
visits to the lobby of my metallic meanderings the on and off goes the compressor
and still I paint
day turns to night, to weeks, to months
challenging muscles and my social life
and still I paint
until finally
it is enough
blake more
