Brian Strand Poet Ekphrasis

Notes About The Poem

Edward Hopper mind games 

Stills Statuesque

the contemplative
is not
       explained

silent 
ethereal
     evocative
a
moment
       in time
                        displayed
arrayed
in
pensive pictures

the natural
everyday
             phenomena

sunlight
in shadows
                  still life
prompts
invoke a question

what
         happens
                       next
