A view of art making as soul retrieval,

His and Mine.

Lucien has been sick

Bringer of Light- Lucien

Got his body snatched by the underworld

And we all went with him.

It’s been crowded in there

So many prayers and jugs of bone broth..

But it had gone on too long and we were lossing steam,

So I made art, a mono print

(Which is funny because mono

Was the culprit that started this whole thing.)

I filled the kitchen table with paints

And cut paper to size

And I was gifted by spirit with this image of Lu

His bright and steady nature, seen clearly

And through this process

It was as if I had insisted that the demon

In the underworld who had a hold of him

Let go.

Our ancestors knew of this power

In the cave dreams , we have tools.
