Soft Patina of Dust, 2019

Soft Patina of Dust, toner drawing on paper, 2019

I feel a bit worn down... like the face of these cliffs

forever exposed to the whims of the wind and the weather

a bit rough... some spots smooth... whole, yet interspersed with fractures

felt low in my abdomen... like a cave whose inhabitant left long ago

the space collecting a soft patina of dust... until a flame is reignited
