Untitled 2


"Wear your heart on your cheek but never on your sleeve (unless you want to admit defeat)". But how, exactly, does one wear their heart on their cheek? How can you put it in such a dangerous place? Don't you know that your cheeks get slapped everyday by cruel words and crude actions? To put a heart there would be asking for trouble.

I am a poet and a sculptor. I write poetry about my experiences and my emotions and everything. My sculptures are usually made of clay and they typically involve tentacles in some way. Because, you know, tentacles. :3
