I am a Hearta dichotomy of existence.
fragile and yet power filled;
breath fueling while stimulating life
defined by more than physiology, beyond biology.

life and death dividing,
pierce me with metal or word, and I bleed.
the ultimate unseen witness to each thought and every action.
broken, still healing in fused pieces the world leaves behind.
I am a heart.

worn for the world to see,
I shine from behind a child's eyes,
cherish lovers with passion's kiss
and comfortably wrap friendship with love.

I am more than a muscle, my numbered days unknown.
I take in all you see, that which you embrace,
and hold tomorrows aspirations safe in this dark mysteri

Dirty WindowHow can we ever know

the true nature of

what

we are looking at,

if whatever it is

we are looking through

isn't

clear?

what can't you see?

Tiredmy soul cringes as I lend my cheek
for the press of her kiss.
a thousand cracks upon my little girls heart.
I hold my breath, but her skin smells sweet.
[she couldn't remember]
worn and tired.
long dark hair streaked with gray.
a thousand lines surround her sea-green eyes.
[she forgot]

unable to walk without aid.
I search my heart as I witness the struggle.
inwardly calculating, I find a vast wicked storm of nothing,
outside of kind sympathy for a stranger.
[I was "her" and a hand gesture]
slurred words are filling the space.
observing the sparse surroundings,
I stare longingly at the door.
[she forgot my name]
I leave the place behind,
walking fast;
finally able to breathe again.
glancing up, I see her waving furiously from the window.
[forget]
a thousand fissures.
our worn and weary souls.
unraveled.
[I seem to be forgettable]
I wish the same was true for her.

Just like I found it. Seems like it was in the water awhile.

Submitted for Self Portrait at Human Conditions.

(description for an old contest)***"When I read that the art had to represent myself, I knew exactly which one I was going to choose. This photo is of a flawed, broken shell. Upon closer look, you will see how in it's position on the beach, as the water flowed around it, it actually reshaped the sand around it. And this photo looks better if you look closer at it, make it bigger. All the little details become visible and wonderful even the oceans air bubbles in the sand. I see myself this exact same way, broken and flawed and yet still interesting. I shape the enviornment around me, if I like it or not. And unless you look close, you won't get to know all the little details that make me me."

I could stare at this for hours. Such a long time since I've seen the coast... I love the way the light shines around it. It's an excellent choice for a self-portrait. We're all a little broken, but not all so beautiful.

I took this in Florida (dec09) with my little point-and-shoot.
And I actually won second prize (

woopie!!,

) for it at Artists-in-Nature.
I have been wanting to submit it for my ID pic in Human Conditions for a bit, but just didn't do it.

Anyhoo...thanks for the compliment. I really appreciate it.

Poor little shell

Oh well, this is still a cool image. I think the shell's brokenness adds something to it.
