About My 2013 New Year’s Resolution

In 2013 I resolved to create one complete artwork and one poem for every day of the year. I recorded this work in a tumblr blog called postmortemism (which I may delete at some point, now that I’ve transferred the contents here). The quality of the work is expectedly uneven, but it taught me the valuable lesson (one that should be emphasized more often in creativity) that discipline (which often means working when not in the mood or right frame of mind or whatever) not infrequently produces the most interesting/surprising/energizing/inertial results.

For a room full of moonlight feels plain.

Out of all pain comes no one thing.

Down into the seeds we tumbled head-heels-head-

heels-head. Gathering of flowers, welcome then.

In the dead-end weeds we turned and turned in nodes of smoke

and pulled in their nets.
