Dusting for Prints

The subject is distant from and dark.
The subject is seen through glass.
The subject reflects, or has a luminous body.

If you feel you can no longer pray, care less, don't be selfish.

Was he an artist?
I remember him cutting a sword out of wood, and painting it gold.
"Arms" seems wrong. It's their nearness.

Sometimes it's you and I'm calling to you but I say the wrong name.

Several glass ashtrays, the panther lamp. The light  bent toward the map.
I spent a long time under the table, learning to recognize wires. How we would change        
her. How the bullet is scraped as it moves through the barrel.

The subject is distant, and dark.
Each instance has its rewards. Sex can't explain it.
Their goal is to empty themselves."

If you feel you can no longer pray, personally, I like trees, birds.

Personal & unintelligible, my addiction bores me.        
We still need spoons, plates, and knives. Bowls. Your star sign.
Those weeks with you?       

I remember driving you somewhere. Driving, and it was snowy.
Nothing was figured out.
You said redemption looked like a painting of fire, after a fire.

Blinking Tree

Tidethink021

When fluttering down from the top of the tree-shaped installation, these leaf-shaped pieces of paper, each with on open eye on one side and a closed eye on the other, suggest an amazing autumn for surrealists.  Or perhaps it's winter?  The “Blinking Tree” is a creation of the Japanese artist Yasuhiro Suzuki.

*THINKING*

Thinking_blogger_award_2 I, Robin, the humble blogger behind the pane, the little face that you might squint to see in the Big Window, I have just received a Thinking Blogger Award.    As a recipient of this award, I am supposed to select five bloggers whom I read and admire to pay it forward, so to speak.  I will get to that directly, but until then, nominations or  self-nominations are welcome.  What do you think? 

Thanks to Christine for the honor.
