Abstract
WC Quinn
My pieces appear askew, but I am no Picasso
just a Girl Before a Mirror trying to love myself
despite the flaws in my reflection
I keep counting my brush strokes
grooming tangles in penance.
My tongue’s burden is language
The She Wolf bellow calls to me; I don’t reply
my words, sticky sweet honey,
smacking heavy in the roof of my mouth
splatters canvas akin to Pollock.
My nightmares covet reality
so call me a dream walker; lucid surrealist
observing life…
The skinny
