French kisses in Scotland

Posted on Oct 20th, 2007 by Doug : Back Yard Artist Doug
 

Wet floor

My hair is wet too

Hot pink circles like joy around me

Greeting me first thing

I see hello

A word like a French kiss


Daily bread

A painted hanging board

Slathered with sensuous

Opening me into a light room with soft voices


Breezy white curtains hiding

Your space from the married man

In the other room

I spoke with her who belongs to him

Next door

Mistaking her briefly

For you, not knowing


Me the Masia warrior

While you wear the red beads of passion

We speak of our stuff, the stuff we work with, through

In art , life , love

And it comes through in spite of stuff

The otherness of us

And you standing so close

We could dance or fall

Should I say a word



And who battered your heart

With its secret desires

So out there on the wall

I wish I could own those

They are mine

I steal those


A young blonde haired

Raggedy

Man in dirty army pants

Limping across Mission Street

Talking out loud

To no one in particular

And the universe

listens

Thank you Rudyan and Aley!
Last night I went to some art openings in SF of a couple of friends. I fell in love with a woman's work that I didn't know before last night. Her work is very sensuous, right out there, heart on her sleeve, so unlike me.

Pouring and splurging with the allness of all art.

Just noticed this blog from a while back—maybe it’s because of the word “French”–LOL–and my new French press. Anyway, I really liked it. Something about it really resonated.  Cool one!

TY Lisa! Careful, you know those French presses are HOT! Wow, floating in all that moist heat before being pressed and submerged and that’s when it really gets dark and creamy. That’s one cup-o-joe for ya!
lol!
