Blurry Silhoutte

photo by Francesca Woodman
spinning
out of control
do you recognize her
in the realm of vacant spaces
fading

~
dancing
shadows of life
captured in black and white
blurry silhouette shades of grey
blending

~
empty
lot of desire
capturing swift movement
dancing into oblivion
waning

    I think it's sad if the dance lead to numbness such as that.. dance should be passion

      Totally agree Bjorn, the art of the dance should be filled with passion.

    Trying to lose herself doesn't bode well for her spirits.

      That is true Pat, the artist had a very short life.

    Dancing into oblivion - what a sad escape. It captures the picture perfectly, though.

      Hey, True, that worked. As me a question and you get a bonus comment! :) A whirl, a twirl, the flag doth unfurl. I'm just fine, thank you, True.

      Good one, True Blue.
      Hi Gary!

      When I was a kid (don't say it), I wrote a poem about me spinning round and round and when I slowed down and everything I was looking at became more clear to me, I fell and died. That's depressing, right, but I was 18 back then so what do you expect ;)

    4. TruedessaJanuary 30, 2016

      hmm - interesting Blue...you fell and died and yet you are here spinning on the this big blue marble..and I might say I'm rather glad you are here...

      Tell me Blue how are you this winter day?

    5. Blue GrumpsterJanuary 31, 2016

      I'm dead tired. Sarcoidosis is a bitch, I tell ya. Anyway, thanks for asking, True. You keep putting a big smile on my face :)

    hmm. I have a paragraph to write. I need to eat something. Far to emotional at the moment

      Michael,

      Try to calm those emotions with a gentle sea of words.
