Non Finì

My art
for my eyes
is not commodity

One For Every Star

I’m tired of searching 
for all things
hidden in plain sight,
I’m just trying
to find my way home

They say with a pocket
of keys all things
turn out all right

better than being
in the cold alone

I heat my hands
on a cauldron of lost years,
lies of dreams, visions
of tears

don’t let sunbeams
detour around you,
intercept and receive
their flow

my solar plexus was warm
next to your warm solar plexus,
around your way, around your nexus
of the woods

Where the heavens
about you would
constellate

pulse madly in rhythm
realized over eons
(if one could tap their foot,
thrust their hips,
keep time for so long)

under the vast night sky
with the right pitch of darkness,
I can see you there!

What To Do

Morning sun,
I yearn for
a guitar, a
rake, a paintbrush

Oh, What It Seemed To Be

We can't...
and we shan't!

Trace

The lines of the tree,
never more fluid or
more succinct

Juvenile Dylan-quent

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

The Years Go Quickly

In memory of an old voice once found here (click thru on Impressionism)

The tale of the myopic amoeba…

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

10:15

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

Perspective

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
