Drawing 1, details of finished view lain flat

Fine lines are scribed upon blue
Prints of the leaves and fall seen within the lack
Of colour that is clear when held to light
53 wishes come as watermarks upon the vellum
to lay beneath the arch and portico as might too
the wreaths of Mass sung to a winter sun

Scrawled along the margins, feathers
Pick a vacancy of flight to adorn page
And cover small rips upon the edges
Thumb worn
from use and neglect

Woven ends of willow hold the walls and roof
As discarded branches of 11PM escape
With closed eyes and slow stumbled moans
born in cork and crystal glass poured before
Rough hands mould the wattle
pushed with fingered regrets into the crevices

left


Drawing 2, insight of inside views

Shown as design of pine cones within natures need
To always house the embryonic
Till sterile feeds only pleasures as you please
It is an easy fix to acquiesce the moment
In hues of finger painted pause
Crown moulding replaced by thorns
Adorns the skin coat with tastes of autumn
Smoke of small fires the umber as mixes well
With base of white sheets dried upon the wire

30 left behind the faith of stained glass
and sees coming winter as a passageway through halls
to be decked with merriment slow bound in skeins of yarn
the wind knits drafts along the frame
as one hears the slow sadness of notes from ivory and brass baritone
in sly tones
under currents flow a slow brag of virility
as Ace of Clubs struts an unawares of love


Drawing 3, incomplete images withdrawn

Blank white on blue
Fingers reach to the end of pen but fail to draw ink from veins
Leaving vacuum too great for spark of divinity
The Sistine ceiling still azure with cloud
Leonardo’s work shorted
There is no hand of God
Outstretched wings a partial enfolding grace
The image ends
prayer left unsaid the covenant of rings still stands

incomplete
lacking depth enough to sustain
but cutting words
remain


Insert drawing 4

An aftermath of storm torn twigs whose finger hold
On the earth broke free
We see the mute swan as food for wolfen tongue
And roll the flavour of spring upon hard packed floors
Await amid dormancy of sighs faith here too lies prone
Tumbled of windswept stone

Risks exist along the foundation
Cracked mud and straw
contractors print along the bottom edge takes note
woodcuts and etchings are the norm
free hand is bound with a pearl of knots


Drawing 5, removed

Hands let go the scroll
Curling in upon the curve it forms a roll
That tossed upon the hearth kindles fat wood twigs
Into blaze
Of warm
