hiatus ends

to the city and back

in a whirlwind of tourism

and family fun.

now back to drawing

and the rural life.

Despite the seemingly bisected bodies above

whose legs do not belong with their torsos,

the sound is complete and replete

with dance inducing tunes.

My favorites: Mercy, Is You Is or Is You Ain't my Baby,

Begin the Beguine, Mooch, and

Stardust.

July 6th afternoon at Mendocino Art Center.

windows and chairs,

herbs and valleys

recur as subjects;

an ongoing allure

little discoveries

Making a salad dressing

That shape they make is hard to enter.

Hard to find a spot to bust in.

Resistance to change.

bends grasses, 

tosses their reedy stalks about, and

morphs the land into 

the hump of a giant camel.
