Good morning! I took this shot on the north shore of Oahu. I named her the "Golden Girl".

A large print of this #dragonfly has been the subject a couple my photography shows.

"What happens to a #dream deferred?," Langston Hughes once asked, looking perhaps like me into an empty flask.
I have simmered on his words, dynamite of want ready to blow.
Whatever happens happens.
It often seems explosions end up being just for show.

What The World Wants From A Poet A way out. A door creaking silver time-backwards on rusted tooth-hinges into the forgiving lilac hush of a dream. Impossible things. Possibly bananas. Angel wings. Wren feathers. Where the red thread went or the blood or any of it. Time, more. Never enough. Where did I go? The way through. A hand to hold. The gleam in one’s eyes, always. Keys. Yes, keys! The key. The one and only and the father and the son and the Holy Spirit. What makes us holy. Love. What we had when we were born but lost living. I want to open my eyes. I want. A home with a light. A way in.

Bad Dog - probably one of my favorites. late in the series, and digital while the rest were traditional. I was trying to find my way back to something.

I’m haunted by these. I wonder if the trees see me…

Reintroduction post:

Hello! My name is Mike, and I create traditional art. I mostly use watercolor, but I like to experiment with other media now and then.
A portrait painted in coffee: a woman’s face in profile. Her hair is long and full of butterflies. A sleepy crescent moon below the branches of a leafless tree, which stands on a curling rocky ledge. A clockwork aquanaut with a glass sphere head full of mechanical components is greeted by sea creatures. Five odd little monsters hanging out in a wicker basket.

A very colorful Swedish edition of The Dispossessed, circa 1976. Cover art by Per Åhlin.
In this translation, The Dispossessed is called SHEVEK. The cover shows a man in a green long-sleeved top with a sort of sash printed with a landscape of trees and a river. He is holding up four fingers in front of a globe. In the foreground is a woman with dark hair and a black top, who looks off to the side.

Emotional outbursting
seams reigned back,
garroted; deprived of
life and another’s sight:
my held-in tensions.
