Hazy Acres: The Creative Practice of Ryan Boos

I can be strong 

For this moment 

As I was in the last one 

Where I stated

I am strong 

When the ocean turns over

You are now the shark 

Hunting 

Endlessly befriending the abyss 

Searching 

With force 

In and around 

Through the portals 

Underwater 

I am the shark 

In the mirror 

Looking at myself 

Around the central theme

Canyons on the shore

Water lines grow 

You are in it 

And you cannot swim 

Here

Or anywhere

Any longer 

I am the shark 

Blinded by the hypocrisy 

In the others

And self 

In the rule 

Regulating the waters edge 

Where I swim 

To live 

In the abyss 

With the mirrors shining 

Truth 

Back in the directions 

Closing the door

To the past 

As this opens up 

For better or worse 

Everyday
