“Reaching Out”
Oil on linen.
“The first slice of sunlight glanced off
a slab of dark marble that turned to glow…
The dark supported me, comfortably
behind me, a cradle woven from
demon hair. As I rose
and climbed toward day, his turning head,
those eyes – strips of memory,
silver tides, moons rising over the
rim of the world—”
