“They own every breath that we take. They pick each piece off our plate. They eat all flesh that we make. They run the whole of our fate. And they say it’s all for our sake.” -What we’re not supposed to sing outside. We’d all heard, for quite some time of course, about our master’s […]

For the wedding you worebaby’s breath in your hairto quietly remindthat also in your dresswas a fetus tangled deep insidein tubes and hidden roomsatop an anatomical slippery slide. Tiny then, as the blossoms in your crown,but already sharing air with youand eating smuggled food inside.  As the baby grewthere were timesyou breathed for me, too,when […]

Original of Love

The paintings started out as pencil drawings on handmade paper and later became ink drawings, a process which took place in Crown Heights and Bay Ridge. Acrylic paint was introduced to the surface of the works in 2016 while I […]

Catalogue

Diane Glancy over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

It was a long time ago on a farm.  The cows horse pigs chickens.  The pond cellar farmhouse barn sheds hay-wagon fenced-fields a definition of function.  On the table a fork butter-knife coal-bucket by the stove pump- handle.  The dirt road is the oldest part of memory. Wild animals roamed at night.  Hyena aardvark wart-hog […]

the girls, the girls

this place smells like hand-rolled-cigarette smoke burning, burning up and down the walls: my walls the small-girl walls he leans against giving credit to his big-man feet. When we are born they give us maps & the maps show us how to escape from burning things. They lead us to the muster point while the […]

Am I the Ice Cream Man?

Rex Wilder over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

Am I the ice cream man? Why else would the streets Fill & living rooms echo?  Rose gardens smell of vanilla On Las Palmas as vowels Of celebration turn letters Into words; neighborhood Streets are blindly happy, Like a dream or maternity Ward. “Forza Juve!” from A random window: whoop It up. No need to […]

Empty chocolate wrappersstrewn across the unmade bedlike spent shells from a smoking gun.Sweet ammunition rests heavy in her belly,A failed salveon festering wounds,her growing girth bears witnessto the shattered glass of her past.A daughter’s fulfillment, a mother’s glee.

The Photographer

Rex Wilder over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

Every day it happens.  Happens every day. After night’s amens. Before a single ray. Planet Earth poses And doesn’t move  Like a bed of roses Avant le joli bouquet. In flagrante love: Faceless yet faced.   Every day it happens.  Happens every day. After night’s amens. Before a single ray. But today for the first […]
