Art

Questing for Orbs

Occasionally, I quest for orbs in the night.

Always shooting blindly to see if any are nearby.

Sometimes I can sense their excitement in the air. Like a swarm of bees.

Hardly ever do I find them in the daytime silhouetted against a tree.

The Show is On

I like the formality of a show.

The design of the show.

The mating of the groups and pairs.

To question “is this art”? To know that this is art.

Black on Black 2 calls to mind waterlilies in the dark.

I once or twice restrained myself from licking a brushstroke on Monet’s waterlilies. In fact, I had to walk away.

Conception

It’s meditative to be on the walls, with Dreaming of Change.

The Question of Selkie’s Longing

There once was a seal

Who was caught sunbathing

Without her Cape of Seal Skin

She became captive to a foreign reality

Of children and earthen pleasures

A child offspring

Found the hidden once discarded

Cloak

Offering it up to the mother of desires

Who leaped with recognition

Into who she once was

Yet encountering longing

For sea and turf

It is the Longing

That defines the days
