Streetable #2

Mr. Devlin keeps dropping things
onto the armchair:
a pair of brown leather shoes
all [worn and] creased,
some china plates with chips in them,
a tiny kettle, and
a rolled-up checkered blanket.
These are all things
that Leon would like to touch.

Thanks, Carol! Fun, yes? I felt so stumped by this start but then I dared to make a new mark and off I went to a happy place : )

What a perfect pairing of art and words! I love how the marks make this piece sing. And the title...LOVE!

Jen, yay! thanks for noticing the pairing—I'm having fun with that. And I was so happy when this piece when from an occasional mumble to robust singing : )
