raided the stash
& ‘printed’ white supplies
took a few pics
& cut myself into strips
thought about stuff I like
& stuck a pin on it
settled on the significants
& stitched marks into linen
enjoyed the colour of autumn
& crunched through the leaves
thought about the red thread
& the small on the needle
caught up on Friday night drinks
& filled the heart up with mates
the boy played hard
& spent the day with the medics
one with concussion
& one with a bye
meant a lazy start to the day
& breakfast at an old favourite

cut up more pics
& wove some small strips
prepared for the review
& stayed up too late
started with ‘hand’
& gave it a tick
set myself some guidelines
& dragged out the mending box
had the learner at the wheel
& my heart in my mouth
stopped in at spotty
& couldn’t resist
celebrated a few birthdays
& didn’t forget
the date clocked another year
& we gifted a trip click
pulled on the party shoes
& dragged ourselves into town

had a lesson on flash
& made a plan for the pics
packed up the (busted) monitor
& took it back for repair
talk in all the gold
& the shiny stuff too
put it up on the wall
& gave a nod to marcel
listened to smart people podcasts
& picked up some gems
read lots of good stuff
& made plenty of notes
presented the wip
& pitched the new plan
cruised in for poachies
& had a win with the prints
picked up the (busted) lens
& now own an expensive bracelet
met up with the crew
& enjoyed the school play
sketched out some ideas
& took the boy to the old hood
thought lots about hiding
& about the flesh too

read stuff from the best
& cut to the heart of it
it was all about the mirrors
& tricking the printer
i prepped the reflections
& tried to find the right fastening
carefully cut images
& wove them into myself
have some issues to resolve
& had to resort to the maths
hand printed the last of the layers
& carefully stowed them to share

worked hard on the smoke
& on the trickery too
played with mid grey
& got the ratio right
constructed my ‘frame’
& gave dodgy haircuts to dolls
spent more time on the wardrobe
& took pics of the fabric
strung up the shades
& whipped off the gear
watched crap on the teev
& picked up an unexpected diamond
let my mind wander
& might just have figured it out
