5.

Always ink 
on gray paper 
unless otherwise 
instructed.
Imagine the body
torn from the legs,
leaving a few
shreds of flesh.
Imagine, 
don’t kill for
verisimilitude.


6.

One great slowly 
narrowing leg,
rough, as in
microscopic view.
Remember it’s not 
just the end 
that feels the world
but all along.
Stray marks.
Charcoal.
