On the blank canvas
of my rented apartment
artwork
dug
from thrift store bins
serves as
the eclectic collage
of self-portraiture
the lithograph of New Orleans
a reminder of trips untaken
phone calls unanswered
Pin in my leg
I’m pronounced recovered
from the crash
still I limp
I went to the beach tonight
with a photograph in my pocket
tore it into 128 pieces
and hoped one reached Osaka

a very powerful emotional write, like the pin in the leg line, the imagery is well selected...
