Might she have surrendered
And Smiled
Yielding her spirit to an
Applauding God
Angels flanking her
Noble entrance
Gallant old soul
Ebbing away
Lending her wisdom to
Offspring of Earth
Utopia now all hers
Can there be a top
without a bottom
A beginning
without an end
A middle
without two flanking sides
Reality
without pretend
Can you stop
what’s never started
Can you die
before you live
Can you see the truth
without the lie
Can you change
—what’s never been
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
The
metaphysical
of
human scale
counts
spectral closeness
centirely
of colour
flanking form
in
extreme
asymmetry
lateral
inflections
continuity
presence
of verticals
with
unshakable
&unfastened
by
zips
of
speed &energy
in
areas
&planes
subtly inflected
monochromatic
partitions
textured
& with
irregular effect
in
visual tension
of
contrasting colors
Where the sandhill cranes gather,
I stand and watch the swans preen
In the morning sun near the bridge
Alone, except for a circling vulture
All denizens of the lowland culture,
Passing high over the flanking ridge
A red-tail hawk hereabout rarely seen
Above the warm, crystal blue water.
