”angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to
the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,”
Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926), U.S. poet. from Howl
pen and ink with charcoal 1982
all that obsessed time
the hot blue sky,
utility plastic melting in the sun
as the ancient cyclops of my youth
reached down again from high
I spoke into it’s presence
up towards an azure sky
For years I have kept some of this artwork more private for a number of reasons, and feel in response to the ever growing drumbeat of the anti openness and anti gay movement, that has changed.
By nature I tend to keep a low profile, events of late have made it clear those days are gone. Now I think it maybe necessary to pronounce my feelings.
