there's no more room...

there is no more room in the house
for the things that you make
out of fancy and longing
for a fantasy place

somewhere other than inside your head

there's a representation of an angel
that you say could be you
or the very essence of you-ness
raising her face to the sun

you put her in the garden just out of sight
where the wandering jew suffocates sensibilities
and shrouds dead trees with luscious longing life

somewhere other than inside this space

maybe in your heart?
where you write down dreams
and pray to your mind
so you will not forget
who you are

this place...

Picture
out of the green, cool fronds of fondness
 

a familiar smell
you are to me
with my head buried in your chest
to shelter from the sun
i breathe
suck up the essence of you
 

a spider teeters on the edge of
a blade of grasswith your ear to the ground, do you see?
the wind will blow
you back to me
when tomorrow i miss you
and the sun has set on our place in the garden

    About this blog

    many roads...                           ...on the journey words follow me,                              push me forward,                  and sometimes, overtake me.

    This is my attempt to map them, And navigate my way through meaning.
    Lenni M-K

    This blog is about my creative process, ideas and inspiration for new work, projects that I am working on, cool things that other artists are doing, ideas about memory and identity that I am trying to make sense of. Stop by to share the creative journey and say hi!
