to be defeated by greater and greater things

[larmoyante]

We wear clothes, and speak, and create civilizations, and believe we are more than wolves. But inside us there is a word we cannot pronounce and that is who we are.

Erin Curry part III of Ambient Air comic book made within 24 working hours on translucent mylar with ink, graphite, white pastel, whiteout tape, tape, nontext and bubbles 14” x 11” 2012 This comic was begun on a truncated (for me) 24 hour comic day in October at The Sequential Artists’ Workshop in Gainesville, FL and finished two months later in mid-December. The number of pages was fixed and the marks layered until they started to suggest a sense of fitting in place and then were worked on until they did.

Pastoral (II) - William Carlos Williams

When I was younger

it was plain to me

I must make something of myself.

Older now

I walk back streets

admiring the houses

of the very poor:

roof out of line with sides

the yards cluttered

with old chicken wire, ashes,

furniture gone wrong;

the fences and outhouses

built of barrel staves

and parts of boxes, all,

if I am fortunate,

smeared a bluish green

that properly weathered

pleases me best of all colors.

                    No one

will believe this

of vast import to the nation.
