The night is not dark enough,
not yet deepest blue - indigo
enough, to reveal the star field
I envision, too much ambient
light overhead, in the glade,
to allow them glitter
A flag, the world is,
unfurled this night,
the heavens our crest,
to live till we die,
our motto, a cry to rally
this rage against the day,
this birth of light,
as you know, do not go
softly

In memory of an old voice once found here (click thru on Impressionism)
who - without light - always precedes genesis afloat, adrift, a thought (perhaps) somewhere unfolds swells crescendos... kaleid- oscopic origami confetti-orgasm everywhere what would be calm now frenzy hot frenetic beginning a new start a lust for stars, for all things celestial eternal inter-planetary wanderer who gets lost around any bend cc: CC '23
It is the morning of
the long shadow,
inordinately lengthened
such that no artist
would ever assert
these values, these
lines, what God
so easily renders

Nowadays I have more than one
vanishing point, my different
line sets converge
some objects appear
smaller than they are
while others…
perspective does that,
makes things shrink
the farther away they get
till one
ultimately tapers
to a point
below your horizon
is a dark pocket
I gravitate to
concentric circles target it,
cross- hatches shade the surround
clearly evident
though subtle gestures
no line escapes
tracing back to you

I shout
hey shithead
don’t shit on my chair
as I shoo the bird away
and move my chaise
to the shade

I've run out of cerulean
- cyan too -
just when I'm here,
kicking off sandals
Yet,
I gavotte at the sea
and imagine I bleed
with the sand, the sky
A bird shadows my shoulder
from high, then walks beside me
pecking at smooth white stone
awash
In froth we quick-step
atop spongy beach
I feed her maize
from my easel,
ochre plantains,
sweetest blackest
banana
For me she sports her colorful back,
plumes and wingspans and I
have since restocked
with all sorts of blue
