width="500" /> 2012 acrylic on paper 18 x 24 http://wendyheldmann.com/work/view/1923/12889 you are so beautiful and i am a fool: How quiet he must have seemed the next morning <img border="0" src="http://wendyheldmann.com/static/dyn-images/41/41522.jpeg" alt="" height="416" width="500" /> 2011 acrylic on canvas 20" x 24" Five whole hours It is nothing and everything It could stretch out before her like an eternity If she has the will or it could evaporate In a single moment Concentrate she thinks So much time spent Waiting for the day to end Or rather To begin again http://wendyheldmann.com/work/view/1663/10826 you are so beautiful and i am a fool: If you were there to notice this <img border="0" src="http://wendyheldmann.com/static/dyn-images/41/41520.jpeg" alt="" height="399" width="500" /> 2011 acrylic on canvas 24" x 30" I was there but I was not there Persistent gentleness Documentary but not prophetic The ersatz and the fatuous Powerful unearthly presences Employed to keep things hidden To effect the quality of the day It's getting late early Waiting for something to happen http://wendyheldmann.com/work/view/1663/10824 you are so beautiful and i am a fool: She didn't even stop to say goodbye <img border="0" src="http://wendyheldmann.com/static/dyn-images/41/41521.jpeg" alt="" height="415" width="500" /> 2011 acrylic on canvas 20" x 24" Learn about the world in sentences This is the love that still lives A sense of complication weighed on him The world in its dark grace She has tried to record it Kingdom of change We have nothing to do with each other He repeats aloud to the darkness It has to pass through us in order to reach us http://wendyheldmann.com/work/view/1663/10825 you are so beautiful and i am a fool: Before all the lights go out <img border="0" src="http://wendyheldmann.com/static/dyn-images/41/41811.jpeg" alt="" height="402" width="500" /> 2011 acrylic on canvas 24" x 30" So fraudulent and replete With sophistication, sensibility, and a little sadness On this profound dissatisfaction they would certainly concur Undermining the possibility of fulfillment She looked closely at her own discomfort The unruly present respects its past Reverse the universe There where you are not There is your happiness http://wendyheldmann.com/work/view/1663/10895 you are so beautiful and i am a fool: Some other city where I've never been <img border="0" src="http://wendyheldmann.com/static/dyn-images/41/41810.jpeg" alt="" height="606" width="500" /> 2011 acrylic on canvas 24" x 20" Concealing a capacity For comprehension An intellect confounded Yet a trusting sense of presence And of ultimate purpose He will continue to put all of his faith in himself Not an uncommon notion Finagle a kerfuffle Slow but never quiet Even or perhaps, especially Still safe though not secret Where we you know what http://wendyheldmann.com/work/view/1663/10894 you are so beautiful and i am a fool: It's too early to be looking back <img border="0" src="http://wendyheldmann.com/static/dyn-images/42/42699.jpeg" alt="" height="400" width="500" /> 2011 acrylic on canvas 24" x 30" The way it was when What could have has been Change of thought pace light heart The infinity of an afternoon She knew nothing about it Still or all over again Leaving his few possessions and his body What happens when nothing happens You have no idea How quickly they were gone Part of the loss we know That was all she wrote http://wendyheldmann.com/work/view/1663/11101 you are so beautiful and i am a fool: Much of what is said here must be said twice <img border="0" src="http://wendyheldmann.com/static/dyn-images/42/42700.jpeg" alt="" height="399" width="500" /> 2011 acrylic on canvas 24" x 30" Mostly what it was What could we say This is the end of seeming Every day we travel further to find nothing Other people, people like themselves Simply one more among so many others Past present or to come It was in the order of things Ready for whoever was to come For whoever would come after Tell us something A silence broken only by the sound of his own breathing And we never know So it sounds like goodbye http://wendyheldmann.com/work/view/1663/11102 you are so beautiful and i am a fool: No time to order another drink <img border="0" src="http://wendyheldmann.com/static/dyn-images/42/42702.jpeg" alt="" height="416" width="500" /> 2011 acrylic on canvas 20" x 24" Something you've not done And only we went on Each alone each with nothing Knowing that it was summer still We're ready to sink into our little lives Why are you still here Black night's coming The huge summer has gone by A few more warm transparent days Now here is the night With its false promise of sleep Its vacant spaces between stars Its endless memory None of the senses can come to it Used at last to your absence http://wendyheldmann.com/work/view/1663/11104 you are so beautiful and i am a fool: Nothing but silence the kind that falls <img border="0" src="http://wendyheldmann.com/static/dyn-images/42/42701.jpeg" alt="" height="403" width="500" /> 2011 acrylic on canvas 24" x 30" Memories of places and futures imagined We'd been at it for years but we've yet to begin We give things names We call it love when we agree Almost a thousand years later We are asking the same questions We do not know more now than we did then As the watch stops so we die http://wendyheldmann.com/work/view/1663/11103 you are so beautiful and i am a fool: Worry about what was never said <img border="0" src="http://wendyheldmann.com/static/dyn-images/40/40362.jpeg" alt="" height="400" width="500" /> 2011 acrylic on canvas 24" x 30" It isn't what we imagined What we hoped for when we were young But we manage we survive A leg severed a word buried This is how we recognize ourselves and why Hands aged Fingernails bitten to the quick Handwriting across her knuckles In case she forgets Or there's a problem http://wendyheldmann.com/work/view/1663/10524 you are so beautiful and i am a fool: Where you would have stood <img border="0" src="http://wendyheldmann.com/static/dyn-images/40/40105.jpeg" alt="" height="413" width="500" /> 2011 acrylic on canvas 20" x 24" He is going to leave you Where you never wanted to be For saying that it won't matter It was more than that We should talk about it The clouds sleep with the mountains The sky is an improbable blue The world is a smoke and a drink A moment of air Held between your hands Whether morning or evening It is like a stunned bird http://wendyheldmann.com/work/view/1663/10448 you are so beautiful and i am a fool: For someone who was late <img border="0" src="http://wendyheldmann.com/static/dyn-images/40/40104.jpeg" alt="" height="414" width="500" /> 2011 acrylic on canvas 20" x 24" Feeling of fear of failure At doing nothing He that does not eat need not work Eat the whole house up dancing Taking deep breaths Remember that air is better than smoke Bare feet better than small sneakers She flourishes most alone Far from the towns where they reside She loves the wild not less than the good Something like happy Nobody said anything http://wendyheldmann.com/work/view/1663/10447 News: Exhibition Museum of Temporary Art May 17 - July 31, 2012 Nathan Bell, Jesse Benson, Scott Benzel, Travis Boyer, Matthew Brandt,
