Then came a time of trying, finding ways to speak with paint


When the smell of oilpaint first passed my nostrils, took a turn to the left and decided to stay...

”Her silence”

The water did her flowing
turning, twirling to the left
She watched
Her feet embraced
the surface of a flat stone
Her fingers watched her
from strange positions in the water
Stopped watching
when she felt her thoughts dragged out
The stream was grinning
Ruthless sun burning
Invisible voices stopped for a moment
& her silence held it all between two fingers

”I’ve got three voices to talk to thin air
Not one of them needs to be heard”

”Will I sleep on a mirror tonight
& break it with my dreams?”

The last ones both have been sold. The second one really was a trade for a cooler, that, after a very long and succesfull carreer finally passed away. Softly. With a smile on it's door.
