Mi Ju, Danish Croissant 2014 (acrylic on panel)
The look is innovative, yet undeniably timeless
Dot & Bo Blog, Design District, 5/8/2015
The in-laws are on
their way, the wars.
Dot plays the daughter
gone under earth
til spring, dark covers
over her head. Grey
is the new black; she cries
in style. Bo can’t stop
looking at his reflection
in the river running through
their bedroom. The sound
of the water helps him sleep.
Dot doesn’t know where
to start. Marble-white, she is cool
to the touch, she has not yet gone
over to gold, claimed her Midas
birthright. If Bo wants, he can
take apples out back
and throw them, practicing.
He longs for chrome instead.
Waits for the mythic sun
to melt wings, he’ll fang shui
feathers that fall when fathers
advance, overtake.
