2003-02-09 & 5:50 a.m. : bruises and new cuts

there are new things coming to me in my dreams

visceral, frightening, exciting, beautiful

i don't know how to talk about them yet

my ideas about aesthetics are changing drastically

parts of me are falling away

new parts, tender like bruises, are coming into view

i need materials for new paintings and new books

this, above everything else, is my main motivation for finding work
