Graceful Decay
written by: Robyn MacKinnon
has quietly inked
into the noise of a world
there’s grace in decay
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Illustration description: A person’s left shoulder and collar bone area, taking up about two-thirds of the image, in front of a backdrop of graffiti on a wall. Tattoos of beautiful, long-feathered birds in flight decorate the visible skin, though, on closer examination, they are just cutouts letting the shapes and colours of the background show through. The body appears in shades of grey, seemingly rendered in graphite, while the background appears in strangely luminous, almost pastel colours, resembling mother-of-pearl.
I am mostly a visual artist, but I like to create "found poetry", specifically daily haiku made from the statuses of my Facebook friends. It was my Mom who started this, and officially passed the responsibility onto me when she became too busy.
