Antler and Memories


 

Antler and Memories

 

Stories reinvented a few times 

in what can’t be helped imagining  

while reading about something else. 

All those books trying so hard. 

Their stories unable to compete. 

 

Sketched “P” yesterday in a costumed session posing in his famous top hat with an antler. Always fun. This was his longest pose. Couldn’t help imagining a possible story or two, so I placed him in a library.
