Stray envy and Tantalus pencils
Portsmouth 13th May
Wake early thanks to the cat with strange dreams holding fast but have the joyful pleasure of discovered ‘layouts of performance’ in my mind alongside ideas for new images…..
Clearing everything for the next 2 weeks so I can record the second half of the sound work to match the video shot in Cambridge

it was the Last day of PTSD treatment today – seems I have come through but not unscathed – concentration being the loser – work from home morning – writing with OH who is ‘resting’ from work – or rather between ‘engagements’ – then leave for the session
on the way I pavement spot for patterns as always – nearly late but stop after seeing something that inspires micro poem – tweet

I’m home later than expected – artists admin rather than ‘creating’ for the rest of the afternoon
I type
envious of the pencil
spotted
hiding on the floor under the table
its black and yellow outline
a ‘tantalus’
seemingly to draw further
back into the shadow
as I
mentally
repeatedly
pick it up
and roll its potential
between my fingers
