...When I was seven
we had one accident and illness after another in our family.
Once we got lost in the Colorado mountains.
I was so car sick from all the switch backs,
but then I saw one lake through the trees.
When we finally found our way back home,
I knew what my first acrylic painting would be.
I would be about love and suffering...

Again I Find The WinterI cannot find any reason
to be in the snow
where only bitten echoes are heard
Shadows of enriched colors
hold me
like ten-dimentional hands
Hopping on top
of each grasshopper
I drill the hills
While kissing universes shed
a pearl nobly swells up
out of the borders of a shell
When trumpet eyes blow
breath of desire
is so still
With sealed up dust fading the prime
the handmade cast is molded
for eclipsed love
Looking for summer
in the falls of the spring
again I find the winter
