Some days I am the man once loved
Some I am the monster, tearing it all down
Some days I am the creator, the builder, the hope
Some days I am the burning, destroyed, faltering
Some I am merely not here at all
Some days are piles, strewn threads, unloving, messes
Some are invisible, endless, peripheral bouts between
Some days the sun shines brightly, just here, positioned and possessed
Some days it simply doesn’t hold at all
Some days I’ll write, throw ink on a page
Some days I’ll burn it, in some fit, of some rage
Some days I am better
I swear, I really am
But most I am barely here
Lonely, longing, for some lost gray matter
Broken, useless, uncolored and flimsy
Painting future memories of a life barely remembered
I know you want me to come home
I wish I could

Eric Andwer is a woodworker and generative artist based in the Midwest, USA. He enjoys long walks on the beach, playing any instrument he can competently get his hands on, low-budget horror movies, and pontificating to his dog details regarding whatever existential crisis he is currently experiencing that given day. His art reflects a lot of things. Too many to list here. It’s often in relation to the same stuff he talks to his dog about. Despite a life of tinnitus slowly tearing away his sanity, his recent addition of hearing aids means you may now speak at a normal volume when conversing with him.
