Poetry by StoreHouse. Works by Fat Chicks Corner

one of your art works is installed at my house
just exactly as it should be
just as you have one of mine
exactly

at yours.

Ashley Lil and StoreHouse, The Arts of Man, 21" x 28". 2012.

"THE ARTS OF MAN THROUGH ALL THE YEARS"
hangs above my bed
and with the windows closed
and the fan on "3"
sitting at the exact position
it sits now,
your piece
printed on crumpled news print
hung slightly bowed and bellowed
breaths.
as you view it
laying down-
which is confusing
at times it appears above you
at times appear to stand above it-
it synchs up with your own breath
you swear to move it with your current
but at more times than not
it has a current all it's own
and at times it appears as static
with little reference to the stone
that it is carved from.

Just as you are inspired by poetry
let your work inspire more.

this should be in that even uglier
yellow staircase
for all those who have no idea
no idea
what they're doing
and should be deterred
from doing it.

Ghost

The banner breathes
"The arts of man
through all the years".

If you insist,
like so many have before you,
make sure to,
provide alchemy.

So your spirit too, 
hangs,
within the walls of this museum,
fills them all:

all the galleries,
all the ceilings,
and the floors, 
and the halls,
conscientiously, 

to make sure you have left,
exactly what,
and enough,
of your life behind

to go on living,
as what changes:
the perception of the viewer,

as what withstands,
the supreme editor
time,
as well as the stature 
of your valiant neighbours.
