Sun Made Flesh and Fiber

(detail of "Rainbow Body", original encaustic, 2018)

Sun Made Flesh and Fiber

In the woods of your own making every tree
has a dark side
and each, a whole, casts a shadow.

Where can you turn 
to find a way through?
Where can you run
that does not lead back into?

Trees, however dark and dense we find them,
only grow by the light of Sun.

They are in fact Sun made flesh and fiber,
and we, Sun’s eyes
as bright as stars
whose dust we honor,
have no home but here.

(From my 2019 book of the same name)
