*Change* 3 7/8" H X 2 1/4" W Cast Bronze
 
Ready
Or
Not,
Change
Will
Take
All
You’ve
Got,
Erase
The
Face
Of
What
You
Are
Or
Were,
From
Pup
To
Cur.
Hold
On,
And
Watch
It
Pass,
All
Memory
Will
Crack
Like
Glass
And
Leave
You
On
Life’s
Other
Side,
With
Nothing
Left
To
Hide.

Beyond
Today,
Time
Stretches
Away
And
Disappears
Into
Impossible
Spheres.
Scholars
Insist
Time
Is
Unreal,
And
Yet
Their
Calculations
Rule
The
Nation
And
Steal
The
Notion
That
Time
Is
A
Vast
Ocean,
Rolling
On
Long
After
We
Are
Gone.

*Dinner For One* Josef Albers

My
Friend
And
Her
Friend
Have
Come,
It
Seems,
To
The
End
Of
Shared
Dreams,
Which
Were
Not,
After
All,
Despite
The
Thrall
Of
Affection,
Not
Going
In
The
Same
Direction.
Now
They
Shall
Part
Ways,
And
In
The
Coming
Days,
Relearn
What
They
Had
Always
Known,
How
To
Be
Alone.

*Duy Huynh*

 All
The
Words
That
Go
Unsaid
Can
Grow
A
Garden
In
Your
Head,
To
Form
A
Poem
Or
A
Lofty
Tome,
Make
A
Picture,
Loosen
Every
Stricture,
Or,
Lacking
This
Vital
Toil,
Spoil
And
Rot
Into
A
Bitter
Knot.
Speak,
Speak,
Is
The
Game,
To
Give
The
Least
Of
Things
A
Name.

Freight
Train
Clouds
On
The
Track,
Over
The
Mountain
Crest
And
Back,
Fast
As
They
Can
Flow,
Headed
North
To
Make
Snow.
I’m
Glad
To
See
Them
Go,
I have
In
Mind
A
Show
Of
Spring
And
Flowering
Everything.

*SPRING* Saul Steinberg
Equinox
 
Under
The
Darkened
Disc
Of
The
Moon,
Spring
Spirits
Frolic
And
Cavort,
Awake
In
Their
Sport.
Leave
Your
Bed
To
See
Them
Play,
To
Hear
The
Songs
They
Give
Away,
And
Find
Where
Scattered
Promises
Lay,
Cast
Forgotten
In
New
Grass.
Catch
Their
Dreams
As
They
Pass,
Cloaked
In
Green’s
First
Gold,
And
Find
A
Wish
In
An
Upturned
Dish.
Then
Sleep,
Magic
Beneath
Your
Pillow,
In
A
Wand
Of
Willow.

Here
Is
A
Hatstand,
Fashioned
By
Hand.
It
Pleases
Me
To
See
What
I can
Do
With
Stuff
Lying
Around,
Scrape
It
Clean
Of
Paint
And
The
Taint
Of
Ordinary
Use,
And
Bring
A
Pretty
Thing
Into
View,
Which
Is
What
I like
To
Do.

I dislike
Any
Day
Throwing
Roses
Away,
Even
When
They
Are
Dead,
And
The
Stem
Bends
Below
The
Head,
As
Though
They
Grieve
To
See
Fleeting
Beauty
Leave
And
Renown
Become
Forlorn
And
Brown.
I am
Consoled
When
They
Go,
Knowing
More
Lovely
Roses
Will
Grow.

City
Jumble
And
Tumble,
Flowering

Shelter
The
Humble,
The
Proud,
And
The
Endless
Tourist
Crowd,
Come
Arm
In
Arm
To
Find
The
Charm
Of
Thin
Air
And
Hearty
Sun,
Hoping
To
Become
One
With
The
Sky,
And
Pass
The
Present
Time
By.

Prospect
 
A
Figure
In
The
Mountain
Emerges
In
Surges
Of
Shadow
And
Light,
Reclining
In
The
Sun,
Old
As
The
Stone
That
Forms
Her
Rising
Alone,
One
With
The
Land,
The
Passage
North
In
A
Chiseled
Hand.
