I hope the mouth pain has been resolved. An important reminder about Frida, creating through the pain... thank you for sharing (and for writing about it so well, "I could not make any words or images slip out from around the pain."!). I think of Kenneth Patchen who made many of his picture poems lying in bed for years and years because of terrible spine issues. Who knows how it informed the work but I'm so so glad he (and Frida and you) didn't stop. xo
I'm with you on pranks, they just aren't my thing. And I'm so sorry about your mouth pain! Ugh, chronic pain is the worst and I'm certain that you will be over it soon. From my lips to God's ears, or whatever the expression is.

Sorry about your mouth pain. I find that I can put up with a lot as long as I can sleep. I hope things clear up soon.
