RUMORS
(c) Singleton 2006
Self Portrait from the Bar
Unfinished

Sold

We all have good intentions,
we start out meaning well...
naughty little demons,
broken charms around my neck
And it's the morning after,
in the face that faces me,
that reminds me that I'm haunted...

Ink, markers, pencils, bottlecaps, Michelob label, acrylics, scribblings on canvas; sealed
Unfinished, but over, done, movin'on because at night, while she rested, and i wandered the house, her face changed, her eyes and her hair were afire and I didn't want her(me) watching me(her) anymore. i kept waking up and adding words...."Keep out, Who are you? I just want peace. Go Away! " And she just kept looking at me...until I threw her in the back of the car and drove her to Georgia, face covered, and left her in the safe arms of Paiger.

Don't think that for one moment
I believe
your stupid little ghost stories.
I'm just listening...
choosing to inhale...
to take the sepia remnants of your
bruised and battered
aura
and remember the afterglow

Peek-a-boo, Singleton

Peek-a-Boo
Outsider Hippie Art
(c) Singleton 2006

Oh, he's there.
Peeking through borrowed eyes,
listening to second hand stories,
Parading around in a paper bag mask
living the perfect life

Watching
And waiting

Kaleidescope Kite, Singleton

Kaleidescope Kite
Outsider Hippie Art on legal envelope
(C) Singleton 2006

My fingers clutch at the tattered string,
and the pretty little kite floats away...

I'm dancing in our daydream,
tethered to your ghost....
barefoot and bluejeaned with
the music barely on

An empty sky swallows whole
what was and "what should never be"

But it's your words I miss the most.

Color markers and pen on another empty envelope
Inspired by Zepplin, MaryEllen, Those Fateful Blue Eyes
and the abundance of letter size envelopes that kept making their way to the beer lined coffee table

Words you'll never know, Singleton

Words
Outsider Hippie Art
(c) Singleton 2006

Peace.
Love.
You will never hear,
never read,
never imagine.
Tucked safely here
In a found envelope
Addressed to no one.
"Send me words" you used to say...and I did...
morning bouquets of peace and love and startling relevations... that rocked your world...
but you didn't protect them. Guard them like your virginity. And now they are spoiled. And so what's left, for the postman to deliver
is just a stack
of
empty envelopes

Pen and colored markers on a roadtrip envelope

Paper Kites, Singleton

ENVELOPE # FOUR
Outsider Hippie Art
(c) Singleton 2006

Empty little suitcases
filled with nothing, but my thoughts
Paper kites I'll never fly,
never leave for you to find.
Addressed to no one in particular
in case they lose their way
Empty little suitcases,
filled with nothing, but my heart

Just Stop Talking, Singleton 2006

Just Stop Talking
(c) Singleton 2006

Your
Incessant chattering,
noise,
background static
is raining on my peace

You're always
flapping at the jaws...
and never listening...

Ashes, Ashes...We All Fall Down, Singleton

Ring around the
Dead Posies...

SOLD

Here lie the words, the many many words, the moments like a memory, the magic.....
of days gone by,
of days cradled,
of days counted.
cherished,
and cussed.
"I've loved you for a million years" ....

"see me, feel me, touch me"
I believe.
Do you hear me now?

And they all fall down.

Held in Private Collection

The Secret Lives we Leave Behind...
littered with what was once treasured trinkets and is now...
a dusky trail of spent cigarette butts,
sordid little love stories gone wrong...
And all the charm of cheap wine left to age on the kitchen counter

SOLD to The Keeper of My Thoughts

This little night time waif is all over the place, snatching up the scary stuff so only the good seeps through. It's an exhausting, never-ending bit of magic, sifting through everyday horrors, night frights, things that make you crazy, that break your heart, that scare the hell out of you, and trying to find the good. But she does. And in the end, dreams win.
