Dancing Between

The trick is knowing when to stop,
when life and art are to the place where everything else
is superfluous, dancing for just a moment between
finished, and ruined.

About this poem

You have no idea how many canvases I have ruined, or how many poems I have edit down from epics to shortlings. In general, less is more.

Yes, that is one of my paintings in progress. I managed to stop before I messed it up.
