That night,
I carved strange symbols
Into my skin,
The asymmetry of my mind
Becoming strangely
Geometrically ordered shapes
On my forearms,
The only part of my body I ever
Admired.

The pen didn’t run, and the
Messages I dripped
Onto the parchment of me
Filled me with calm
Although my heart was
Racing in the shortness of
The hours left.

a heart and two names
once carved in the tree's bark
outlasted their love

Spit the venom from my veins down the drain
your toxic waste swirls like toothpaste -
I used to #carve your sticks and stones
out of my haunted hollow bones,
now your regrets and frets stick like glue
and I want nothing more to do with you.

I #carve healing in this new life out of the strife -
I find magic in places and spaces
I didn’t know could exist, and I can not resist.

#Mastoprompt #Carve

carve out a special
place in your heart for some love
and also laughter

The 🎄break I’ve envisioned has yet to fully materialize, but I’m getting there. Submitted a doozy first proof on a poetry collection to its author yesterday, working on two book covers, awaiting corrections from another poet, and reviewing printer proofs this morning.

Mostly I need to use the off days to clean up the #collage explosion in my studio and do some rearranging and organizing in there, including getting another shelving unit put together. But I’m really itching to #carve some #lino.

The second piece that I lost in my #chess set was a rook. I read a bit with my son this morning and colored and cut out paper dolls with my daughter but now have some time to #carve a bit more of the of this took. #woodcarving #whittling

@PaulOBrien That is very cool! What process do you use to #carve on a small #stone object like this? Any precautions to avoid cracking?

Is it wrong to admit I #carve wooden spoons and I have an unhealthy appreciation for a sharp axe and knife. Shh, it's our secret.
