Blanches oeuvres ouvertes
résident dans les jours
la surface du banc de travail est noire
les géraniums-lierres
les fougères et les adragans
accumulent leurs oeuvres et jours:
La toile noire de Courbet

Mom sang...

One hundred yards back off the highway, beyond a tree filled lane.
For one hundred years this building stood alone at Faraday

Ballad
Cirque Calder FamilyCirque Calder Family
Lonely this
My restless paint blobs
Absorbing precious air
Risking dehydration
Moisture deprived patience
Waiting atop my platform
Resting precariously upon cut wire
And tapered metal sheets
Awaiting tomorrow's work load
Master catnaps
Sprawled beside more wire and metal sheets
While real cat
Possesses Master's...

Into the car park at Calder Glen
That by the end of that week in August 2009

in helping out where e’er she could
But Mirran had a plan
And oft times she would sit and brood
about a mortal man
‘It’s not allowed,’...

Visited the WhitneyVisited the Whitney*
For the Hoppers – what a treat!
A gathering of works with which
Few artists can compete.
Yet in a separate little room
A different treasure lay –
A film of “Calder’s Circus”
With its figures on display.
For...

Torn From MeMay mornings turned a blue iris white with the sight of petaled plates on your stubble.
By surprise they appeared as a dawn shadow, thick on a black jaw,
Smelling of Millionaires against your stout chin.

Art At the Dumpsite
In a bare field
hidden behind dense brush
There's a spot where people
cunningly come, dumping
their oversized trash.
Somehow word got out
years ago:
mattresses, appliances,
box springs; just about
anything one could perceive.
I often find myself...

Concluding StatementMy distraught, the thought, has lost a battle unforgot.
I take, I give, the very words I live.
I've done, The sun, outrunning the only one.
My actions are not my own, a story, I've stitched,...
