Ashes on a canvas panel Companion poem: this painting is about, made on, and made of drugs making this painting would be a crime in some places though the charges may vary the very possession of the raw materials is worth as much as my life in some places and to think it's just some ashes on a board

A dark doorway with light coming through three sides and the peephole Poem reading: “what i fear most, i think, is what happens with just enough what if it happens i get the balance of drugs just right the perfect combination of complicated chemical compounds that eases the burden lightens the shadows opens the door just enough just enough that my art stops calling to me because I'm better now just enough I keep up a smile because I'm better now just enough so nobody worries because I'm better now just enough I can sleep at night and get three square meals because I'm better now just enough for no warning signs because I'm better now just enough to die by inches just enough to keep me from stopping it because I'm better now fading away to a gray ghost, then to nothing behind the bright white smile of just enough because I'm better now”

Selfie of a young white man in a Superman tee propping one cheek on one fist. Only the lower portion of his face is visible.
