I read that an artist’s way of complaining is to create

I must then be an artist for my house has become full

paint pots and smooth papers spill across surfaces with not so much left to sit

leave it

this is the way into something that may come out as truth

I just don’t know how to sort it yet

there’s an essentiality the piles must remain though

no answer stands at the ready but this too is the artists way

to create through the questions amass great piles of investigation

until their work is complete
