The Big Zilch

It's been nothing for too long.

I've been building, yes, and that takes up time, and energy, but to be honest I haven't had the inspiration to paint. I tried painting using just photographs and drawings but it didn't work. Oh, I did a couple of paintings, but they seem flat and lifeless. To be frank I feel flat and lifeless at the moment.

Confusing times. I feel I'm at a crossroads and I don't know where each road leads, and I haven't got a map [there aren't any maps, I know] and I don't really know which road I came here by.

I've taken my boots off
and sat down on the mound,
under the leafless tree.
And people have come by
and passed the time.
And I've slept.
There are things I have to do,
which I do.
But I'm waiting to wake
and find some truth
in all this.
