Crushed Memories
A double layers made with 2 pics,one of me at 21 years old and a crushed piece of paper.I was surprised by the effects and I thought this image represent so well a poem that I’ve wrote and how I felt at that time-
.............seams like in another life…..
Letter to my ex.
My thoughts or my first life
are images of fire-camps,
summers that last forever
in our teenaged heads
Ridiculous existential problems
Love was called «baby»
Possessed by the devil, I guess
All of a sudden,the funnel closed.
I gave you my soul ,
God knows where you hid it
The zombi ’s blaming himself
crying ,bad expertise.
Sadic and redundant karma
immeasurable lonelyness,for sure
but quietely the justice
follows the road and matures.
I was so old in spite of my youth
limited time,floral aroma
laughs filled with caresses
You broke me like a stupid toy.
Why this frosen legacy
My angel,my animal
cold heart,dark , you left me
Oh ! Yes I still ache…........
Lettre à mon Ex
Mes pensées ou ma première vie
Sont des images de feux de camp
Des étés qui s’étampent à l’infini
Dans nos têtes d’adolescents.
Problèmes existentiels dérisoires
L’amour ça s’appelait «bébé»
Possédée du démon, faut voir
Très vite ,l’entonnoir s’est fermé
Je t’ai donné mon âme
Dieu sait où tu l’as mise
Le zombi qui se blâme
Pleure,mauvaise expertise
Karma sadique redondant
Grande solitude ,pour sûr
Mais la justice tout bonnement
Suit son cours et devient mûre
J’étais vieille,malgré ma jeunesse
Temps si court,parfum floral
Rires empreints de caresse
Tu m’as cassée, comme un jouet banal
Pourquoi cet héritage glacé
Mon ange, mon animal
Coeur durçi ,noir,tu m’as laissée
Ah! oui ,j’ai encore mal……

Absolutely exquisite in every way!!!! What a brilliant idea and what beautiful subject matter :) OK how many of us have been crumpled up and tossed away like unwanted pieces of paper…but you know what, it’s amazing what a modern day steam iron can do to iron out those creases…micmac you are beautiful inside and out…you will always be that way…keep up the stunning work. Picasso sliced off an ear, may I suggest you continue to simply produce glorious work such as this, your fan club delights…thank you for sharing…you are never alone.

Creases are not just in the skin..but into the memory of Life as well…And it is a pain and a liberation …perfection is not in any place…but in the flood of Life and because your works highly depicts this vision….well deserves it.
