A breakthrough

abstract painting by the author 2021

It comes in a moment of indifference meets elation greets dispassion speaks into tongues

Rings of ladder like obstacles for the view in mirrors dusty

Wiped clean in steam rising image capture

The elk stoic, stares back as if skull atop torso were grass melting into asphalt

Memory tingles up spinal cord playing melodies for symphonies in construction sites ordered in chaotic appearances

Leaves over limbs we stretch for sunrise hymns an inch outside the fingertip

Reach to let go

Clutch to release

Bear hug in forest rumble tumble down hills shifted

To align with signs drizzled in ripened vine

A stray dog left behind

Free to ramble and roam

Prints upon new sidewalks

Eventually erode

Like structure

& home.
