Graffiti Pier (Motherhood in a Nutshell)

This is my entry for Week 3 of LJ Idol. The topic this week is "Without You."

Graffiti Pier (Motherhood in a Nutshell)

Today, in a gray
hat suitable for the Outback,
you head for Graffiti Pier
with art camp. To contribute your
beautiful chaos. In photos, flashing
consummate V's betwixt
layered color. Carnivorous
plant, axolotl, deep words,
sunglasses and trench coat,
your group's additions. Each
taking over a space, spraying
onto primed cement. The pier

awash with voices. All those seasons of
painters -- like you now -- at once
alone on this concrete island. Together,
a cacophony. A chorus. And then
you, with blued hands, inked sleeve, spinning
away into your own orbit.

Thanks for Dr. Finn's "Plop and a Plunk" art camp for the inspiration.

It's trying to make you sign into Flickr? That's odd. It's not supposed to! It's set as public. I'm so frustrated with Dreamwidth these days, mostly because of the inability to embed images. I've tried various methods, and nothing works. You can see it embedded in the LiveJournal version of this post.
