Dreaming of performing before an audience

Person resting in bed imagines singing onstage before a cheering audience

A black-and-white comic-style illustration shows a person lying sick in bed beneath a blanket, with a clock and glass of water on the bedside table. A large thought bubble depicts them confidently singing into a microphone on a lit stage while an enthusiastic audience applauds. The hand-drawn scene uses warm off-white paper tones, expressive linework, and a humorous, aspirational mood.

Whittlings

Found a quiet spot down here
to whittle away an idea or two
until a poem takes shape
or the crowd goes mild
with nothing to see here after all.

Short-form Hit and Run

Whip up a poem
and leave.

No hanging around
to see what it means.

I’ve got other things
to lose interest in.

The Soul of the Nation

We are in a battle
for the soul of the nation.

It’s official.
I heard it on the radio.

Damn right we are.
