here's my new video poem for my new book, "A moon made of copper," entitled "watching you," which is about parenting and missing your children when out on the road working, being away from home, trying to make a living and so on. as well as being creative if you're an artist, musician, poetry, filmmaking and so on......
balancing family and work is never easy, add creativity and the need to appease the muse, then it's almost impossible to do. i'm away at least a couple months a year on the road, and i miss my kids every single day, but this is down from up to six months a year. you go away, do your thing, work, try to make some money, and come back, buildings have gone up, or been torn down, people become parents, people die, get sick and seasons pass. it's a weird life.
anyway, this video is for parents who work at being creative and being parents simultaneously, i recorded this song with my kids playing in the background and is probably the only demo song to ever start off with "Hey! Feet out of the face!" hahaha
until next time,
