To Persephone in the voice of Demeter

I do not understand your silence

 nor your rage

    please come back to me, 

the earth is dying without you

Sleeve detail

finally got to the sleeve

The Vampire Pirate starts to emerge

.... and already my ex John is asking me if he can buy my painting and it’s nowhere near done

far from fully painted

far from fully painted or even outlined; I obsess about details and paint all over at once

reflections in a scrying pool 2; it evolves

It begins to reveal itself

2:15 PM

First layer of paint begins

Think of this as a pause between seasons in my journal writing

 ~even as I know the plot line .... as sometimes I go within myself for awhile, go inside the crypt 

~to continue it, because the dictionary goes on and 

we are hung by a thread with a cliffhanger because ..... it is

a dare from an echo

wishing for reflection 

only if it is actually heard
