Inspired Poetry

 

Sure... I work out! On the page that is... tee hee! I may not be a fan of physical exercise but I do spend some time practicing my skills on the page. Today's inspiration is brought to you by an excellent artist from Statesboro Georgia; Melissa Hung.

Melissa Huang, an interdisciplinary artist, who explores the multiplicity of identity in her paintings and prints. Her glitch-inspired painting and video self-portraiture studies the desire, failure, and dissonance associated with portraying an idealized self for a largely digital audience.

Here is the result of my inspiration:

Clear, soft, peering, eyes 
Concealed beneath waves of sheets,
In silence we meet.
