and used twist ties
is a paper life

Jan, I continue to marvel at your ability to imbue a sense of timelessness into your work. This has a gorgeous arc. πβ¨

You capture fragility so that we dare not move or step. We are frozen with you or we will break the moment before it fades.βοΈβ¨

Appreciate Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social for this prompt #OnRoofs. It got me thinking about the need to get out from under what hangs over us.

Thanks, Mike. Appreciate the kind reading. I wasn't familiar with Southey's piece, so enjoyed that read. Then fell down a rabbit hole around the War of the Spanish Successionπ

Rachel - Late to the comments, I can echo all the great remarks here. I love how you begin almost with a declaration or resistance, then draw us into this cycle. You do a wonderful job turning the piece around improbability.π

For #Emoetry #Ferocity I am hoping perhaps this one will fit. It a very early piece of mine from 1995.

Powerful intersection of cosmic and religious elements, and the play on the Bach theme echoes with desperation and futility. But the tragic finality of tourists and our debris field is... wow. This is beautifully done. π€Hope you got that sleep!
