IcarusIcarus  
 
 
I told him not to rob the hive, One said.  We all knew they were gonna get angry, we told him, but he didn’t listen. Said he needed it, said they’d understand. Obviously didn’t know what he was talkin’ about.   
Clearly, Two agreed and broke a nail.   
I stood over him as he took the chickens, too, plucked ‘em naked.  What are you doing, I says, what are you thinking, you’re gonna get yourself killed.   
Ain’t no thing to be doing, pissin’ off the animals, Two nodded.   
That’s what we said. You can’t be do Icarus

Self Portrait -Microwave-Self Portrait (Microwave)   
 
As Ashberry did it, I sit with pen in hand,  Staring at Parmigianino’s without really seeing  His distorted refractions and reflections. Then he  Comes to shift besides me, almost exactly like he did  When you were with us to crush the waterfall, except  This time his hands would be light. One of us glanced at  
The other. One of us will say, ‘Now. We do it now.’  Our hands move lazily, but the pen scratches  Where there is no paper. We couldn’t see because  The red armchair by the sand is an angry mauve.  I wonder where trees a Self Portrait -Microwave-

[Suddenly the MUSE snatches the book and throws it away. She grabs the WOMAN from behind and begins to whisper in her ear. The WOMAN, gasping and clutching at her own heart, begins to speak in a rush, the words coming out of her in spite of herself.]

I know that I pretty much left the dA community... it wasn't planned. Life just swarmed me and it took everything I had to keep my head above water, you know? Well, even if you don't, it was just one of those times where it always felt as though I had no time.

Not that it's really any different, now. I still have no time. But I'm getting better at managing the time that I do have.

My current projects (in terms of my writing) are actually two chapbooks: 1. a chapbook for my punk as an anniversary present, bound and everything; 2. a chapbook linking female figures in mythology (a kind of obsession of mine).

I will try to be back in the dA community as much as I can, reviewing and commenting as I used to. I'm sorry if anybody felt that I abandoned them. In turn, I ask that all of my old dA friends help me with these two projects, both of which are near and dear to my heart.

In advance, my thanks and best wishes.

Love,

Carpenter

Your writing is amazing, and incredible, I love it. Mainly when I see things like this, I just skip out and carry on wandering DA, but some of your poems caught my eye and I was hooked, your wiritng just flows, it seems almost lyrical. Amazing amazing amazing! :)

I'm not going to comment on any individual pieces of work, because after reading several, I know it would take a long time to even decide on which one to comment.

So I'm going to settle with a less intellectual and impressive, but equally honest and adequate statement: your writing is incredible. Really.

Have you heard to a poet called Malcolm Croft? I have pages of his work all over my walls, and some of your pieces rang true to his own style, something truly great indeed.

I cannot wait to read more of your stuff.x
