Missing
 
Midnight,
And
The
Guttering
Light
Hovers
And
Grows
Dim,
Shadowing
The
Rose
As
I think
Of
Him.

*Squash* 8" H X 10" W Acrylic On Canvas
Harvest
 
Varied
In
Shape
And
Hue,
Bountiful
In
Seeds,
This
Staple
Fed
The
Needs
Of
Countless
Indians
And
Whites,
Enduring
Drought
And
Blights.
Today,
I can
Go
Out
And
Find
The
Labor
Of
Centuries
On
A
Grocery
Shelf,
And
Help
Myself.

*Reflection* 36" H X 24" W Acrylic On Canvas
Contrast/Compare
 
A
Shame
Society’s
Misdirection
Leads
One
To
View
A
Reflection
As
A
Sad
Distort,
Falling
Short
Of
The
Ideal,
Much
Less
A
Vision
Of
Sex
Appeal.
Turn
Away,
I say,
And
Be
Beautiful,
Instead,
As
You
Are
In
Your
Head.

*Fruit* 10" H X 14" W Acrylic On Canvas
Before
 
Once,
I imagined
I could
See
Half
Way
To
Eternity,
Mass
And
Space
A
Transparency,
And
In
My
Pride,
Thought
Nothing
On
My
Canvas
Should
Hide.

*Manhattan 4: Night* Oil On Canvas 30" H X 24" W
Midtown
 
On
Rainy
Days,
A
Haze
Would
Form,
If
It
Was
Warm,
And
Move
Over
The
City,
The
Damp
Rendering
Pretty
The
Myriad
Building
Facades,
Staining
The
Sidewalks
Blue
And
Turning
The
Streets
A
Blackish
Hue,
Covering
The
Pear
Trees
 In
A
Silvery
Dew
We
All
Walked
Through.

Clash
 
An
Ant
Was
On
My
Table
Today,
Busily
Carrying
A
Crumb
Away
To
Its
Mates
Living
Under
The
Floor.
What
A
Bore.
I watched
As
It
Labored,
The
Crumb
Tilting
This
Way
And
That,
Then
I squashed
The
Beggar
Flat.

*Torso* Cast Aluminum 8 1/2" H X 3 3/4" W X 3 3/4" D At Base
Object
 
In
A
Court
Yard
Behind
The
School,
I and
Another
Fool
Fed
Metal
Scraps
Into
A
Crucible
To
Trap
My
Elemental
Form.
The
Flames
Orange
Hot,
This
Rubble
Began
To
Seethe
And
Bubble.
Avoiding
Grave
Trouble
We
Began
The
Pour
Into
The
Plaster,
Risking
Molten
Disaster.
After
A
Long
Cool,
I took
My
Trusty
Tool
And
Chipped
Away
The
Shell,
To
Reveal
The
Secret
I had
Meant
To
Tell.

*Bryce Brown*
Waltz
 
He
Steps
Forward,
And
She
Steps
Back,
Dancing
In
Love’s
Well
Worn
Track,
Each
With
A
Different
View
Of
The
Hall
That
She
Can’t
See,
He
Is
So
Tall,
And
He
Can
Hardly
See
Her
At
All,
She
Is
So
Small.
What
Keeps
Them
Circling
Year
After
Year,
To
Music
Only
They
Can
Hear?

Rimed
 
Hoar
Frost
Formed
Silently
In
The
Night,
Crystalizing
Water
Vapor
To
Sparkle
Every
Surface
In
Bright
Morning
Light,
Glittering
The
Grass
To
Golden
Glass
On
Every
Lawn,
Then
In
A
Sunlit
Moment,
It
Is
Gone.

Alone
 
Keeping
Hope
Alive
In
The
Dark,
Waiting
For
A
Spark
To
Ignite
And
Light
My
Way,
Until
The
Morning
Sun
Appears
To
Dry
My
Vagrant
Tears.
