From the level pale blue sky

from a corner not so far away

 an arrow has been fashioned

destined for anything alive.

Who will escape its barely

perceptible flight ?

( Mikhail Aizenberg )

Kenneth's Trees & Painted Fans

How sometimes everything

closes up, a painted fan, landscapes and moments

flowing together until the sense of distance ---

say, between Clapp's Pond and me ---

vanishes, edges slide together

like the feathers of a wing, everything

touches everything.

( from Clapp's Pond -- Mary Oliver )

Saint Ethedreda's

Finding a Fossil

( it's 80 million years old )

Which reminds me

of the fact that every image needs a text to protect it......

and every text needs someone to de-code it

( Marlene Dumas---Sweet Nothings )
