Random Designs - ink patterns

My friend Isabel has inspired my once more... she is an unsuspecting muse, for she always says something or posts something that triggers something in me to either write something or post something of my own - her latest post, some wonderful photos of the University of Salamanca contain pictures of ornamental pattern work on the buildings - view the photos here.

I thought I would share some random pattern designs that I draw while I am waiting on others to finish their work so that I may finish mine... some I draw while I am waiting on trains and buses and planes... and while I am on route to here or there... most never get finished and some take quite a long time to complete... whenever I get back to them... but mostly I make them because they calm me... it is quite meditative... Thanks Isabel... again...

Good night sweet Fragrant Harbour...

The safest city in the world and, with a doubt, the place with the most freedom in the world may be coming to an end... thanks to the ignorant youth - that can only be backed by America - that think democracy is a wonderful thing... I know Chinese are smarter than this... so what gives...

Amor de tarde

Mario Benedetti

Es una lástima que no estés conmigo
cuando miro el reloj y son las cuatro
y acabo la planilla y pienso diez minutos
y estiro las piernas como todas las tardes
y hago así con los hombros para aflojar la espalda
y me doblo los dedos y les saco mentiras.

Es una lástima que no estés conmigo
cuando miro el reloj y son las cinco
y soy una manija que calcula intereses
o dos manos que saltan sobre cuarenta teclas
o un oído que escucha como ladra el teléfono
o un tipo que hace números y les saca verdades.

Es una lástima que no estés conmigo
cuando miro el reloj y son las seis.
Podrías acercarte de sorpresa
y decirme "¿Qué tal?" y quedaríamos
yo con la mancha roja de tus labios
tú con el tizne azul de mi carbónico.
