Rain fell in the January cold, / / Rushed up on her defenses in the night. / / And gates bent beneath the weight / / Of flooding words and waves of fact—/ / And it was far too late. / / There’s dry earth beneath her skin now / / That no flooding water will sate, / / She’s burned up with bitterness and painful anger, / / Tired of her silence beneath the roaring thunder. Rain fell down to chill and soak her through, / / Pooled around her ankles / / And swallowed up the tears / / Of hurricane anguish and currents of lies. / / And it’s been too many years / / To have prayed enough that her knees are raw / / From all the kneeling to a God who never hears. / / She’s weary from battles and won’t go to war. / / There’s nothing left to scream, nothing to say, / / Nothing left to do but swim away.

From the time I was a child / The secret – I have kept / Held back, without effort now / are tears once freely wept

This painting was created with interior house paint on canvas / H26” x W50” / Black Matte Gallery Frame / 2007 / Original – 1800.00 / ON SALE NOW! 1000.00 “Faceless,” is dedicated to all the woman and girls who suffer injustices all over the world, and remain faceless to world. Although I created this image in 2007, and had titled it “Girls,” I didn’t fully realize what it meant until just this week. In the news, a husband kills his wife, by placing a plastic bag over her head, hangs her, and flees with the three children after countless please for help to local authorities. A father is convicted of keeping his daughter locked up as a sex slave for 24 years. Daughter now 42. Many females are enslaved, murdered, raped, tortured all over the world, and many more will remain faceless to us. Stop, think, and listen.

Well, who knows with these guys. They seem to fly until they crash into something. Eventually they bash their little bug heads enough that they don’t recover.
