That charcoal sure does make a lot of black dust. lol I haven't worked with it for years but I do remember it very well. I like your 'realism in a smear'.

I didn't quite understand the first line of the next verse. I'm thinking the 'fire' is referring to the charcoal and being able to use it? 'Blacken beast's bone' was very interesting.

The 'do it right' repetition was right on! Then when you are out of school, it's 'do it how I want'. lol

I guess you don't like the noise. lol I'm type A and need the noise. lol I'm glad you decided to put poetry in with your art, you are right it is art
Thanks for sharing this with us.
