Futon


I have a rhythm section in my left ear, a percussive tapping that fades in and out. 
Right now it’s at rest. Sometimes it feels as though I have a front row seat at a gig with Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich who I enjoy, find exciting. Or maybe a flamenco dancer with a persistent duende like stamping while I’m trying to sleep. At first this unsolicited drumming entertained me but after awhile its prolonged hunger for attention wore me out, dismayed me. Now after a few weeks of it I’ve become mildly detached  and accepting  as though a neighbor has just dropped by uninvited or unexpectedly for a visit and I’m too polite to say, “please not now, I’m busy” and eventually the visitor gets the idea and leaves.

An  unmade futon with red comforter.

    Just beautiful, this one is really amazing. Wonderful expressive brushstrokes tell the story so freely.
    Cool, really cool Marcia!

    Love this. Super tangle, and I'd like to sleep there please. I heard that there is medicine for that. Steven has it too. Can't remember what it is, but I'll find out.

    Gorgeous painting.

    Love,

    Barbara

      Thank you Barbara!
      You have a standing invitation to sleep there anytime - I'll straighten it out for you and Steven can join you!
      Medicine eh? Please do let me know.
