(“Still Life”, 2021, original encaustic) A World of Thoughtforms Caught in cascade tumble Splashing here there Without time to collect my self Let alone thoughts What is up becomes down And down up. As I fall Bits and pieces Are left scattered Splashed onto shores Evaporating into nothing Leaving only flow. Somehow in the process One is made greater With their losses Stripped of identities Like so many badges Of false honor. Not greater in stature Or reason, or anything That one would wish for Or hope to attain But in something beyond And then beyond even that. Caught in cascade tumble Life is chelated Inexorable union of psyche and substance As Sun made flesh and fiber shines In every element, thoughtforms all Of that which has no name. (3/1/25)
