Lucian Freud

Shockingly ugly because

they are clearly real too

actual the unheroic mass

a shudder shifting bare

forked figure behind glass

Nostalgia

Already half

the shoreline is obscured

Unfreedom

Do you love me No C’mon

don’t dodge the question

Adam he was free & bored

before Eve then Eve they

were bored & free together

think as you like & as much

as you like just obey

Orson Welles

I have to make pictures cheaper

misdirection ingenuity & faking

God I wish I had more money

Neon

At this crucial moment

ability fails

my capacity to describe

Nightheat

To live in the rank sweat

of an enseamed bed

sewn up in corruption

honeying & making love

Stain

Every word

on silence

an unnecessary stain

Franz Schubert & Jonny Greenwood: String Quintet in C Maj. Adagio & Oil

Life in every fiber

meaning flowing

rich abundance this

ubiquitous abundance

contrary & contrary

American English

Move your foot

or hand an inch

slip your hold &

your identity

comes back in horror

Holy Mountain

No one thinks of

how much blood it costs

Marshall Walker Lee

I have to make pictures cheaper misdirection ingenuity & faking God I wish I had more money
