A
Cold
Front
Is
Moving
In,
Chilling
Summer
Skin,
The
Sun
Hiding
Today,
Behind
Blowing
Clouds
Of
Silvery
Grey.
Along
The
Wall
Of
Brick,
The
Country
Rose
Grows
Thick,
One
Last
Branch
To
Enhance
The
Darkest
Hour,
As
Can
Any
Lovely
Flower.

It
Takes
A
Lot
Of
Energy
To
Fashion
A
Reality,
To
Get
It
Up
And
Get
It
On
Every
Single
Day
At
Dawn,
To
Lace
It
Up
And
Face
The
World
With
A
Coffee
Cup,
And
Not
A
Living
Soul
Will
See
It
Hides
A
Perfect
Fantasy.

*What-To-Wear* 3" H Cast Bronze
Women
Warriors
Take
Great
Care
In
The
Armor
That
They
Wear,
To
Fit
Into
The
Proper
Style,
Always
With
A
Smile.
Little
Do
They
Know
The
Fighter
That
We
Are
Below
The
Carapace
We
Bear
To
Be
Accepted
Everywhere,
Even
Though
We
All
Know
What
Little
Of
Ourselves
We
Show.

*Duy Huynh* Half Life
Hovering
Here,
Gravity
Mocking,
Flight
Encased
In
A
Striped
Stocking,
Keeping
Above
The
Heavy
Woe
And
Utter
Chaos
Below,
All
In
My
Circle
Of
Hope,
Rolling
Down
An
Oily
Slope,
To
Where,
I Cannot
Say,
Too
Many
Forces
Are
Still
In
Play.

*Swimmer* 30" H X 24" W Acrylic On Canvas
I Could
Write
A
Detailed
Thesis
About
How
It
Feels
To
Fall
To
Pieces.
Reaching
For
That
Fabled
Star,
It’s
Easy
To
Forget
Where
You
Are.
I Swim
On,
Regardless
Of
The
Weather,
Laboring
To
Keep
Myself
Together.

*Stone* 30" H X 24" W Acrylic On Canvas
Mighty
Few
Seem
Aware
We
All
Share
This
Tiny
Orb
Of
Heat
We
Devour
Like
Fresh
Meat,
Flooded,
Burned,
And
Torn
Asunder,
Disease
Culling
A
Hefty
Number,
And
Everywhere
We
See
Political
Criminality.
We
Have
To,
Have
To!
Change
Or
Civilization
Will
Be
A
Ruse,
And
All
We’ve
Learned
Is
How
To
Wear
Shoes.

I Decided
Ages
Ago
That
Climbing
The
Mountain
Would
Show
How
Smart
And
Agile
I Could
Be,
But
Bless
Me,
I’ve
Lost
The
Knack,
Unable
To
See
The
Way
Up
Or
Back,
And
Here
I Be.
But
Hey,
I Spot
A
Crack
Leading
To
Another
Track.
One
More
Jump
To
Another
Bump,
And
You
Will
See
How
I Get
Free.
Just
Watch
Me!

*Beauty Rest* Roger Wedegis
The
Elderly
Black
Dog
Tilts
Herself
To
The
Sun,
Sixteen
Years
Done.
No
Need
To
Speed
Around
The
Lawn
With
Pup,
Those
Days
Are
Gone.
She
Leads
A
Life
Of
Leisure
Now,
Absent
The
Strife
Of
Youth,
And
In
Truth,
Lies
Contented
In
The
Morning
Light,
And
That’s
Quite
All
Right.

What
A
Pretty
Pass
We’ve
Come
To,
Constantly
Cheated,
Bullied,
And
Done
Unto
By
Soulless
Leaders,
Despicable,
Greedy,
Bottom
Feeders.
It
Wounds,
It
Kills,
And
In
Misery
And
Vexation,
The
Nation
Reels
And
Weeps,
While
Justice,
Drugged
With
Stolen
Power,
Sleeps.

*Reclining Nude 2* 36" H X 72" W Oil On Linen
To
The
East,
A
Visual
Feast.
The
Mountain
Sprawls,
Contours
Of
Cliffs
And
Rocky
Falls
Soften
In
The
Evening
Air,
Lounging
Like
A
Native
Queen,
Immense,
Imagined,
Nearly
Seen,
It
Shapes
Itself
In
Shadowed
Light,
And
Fades
To
Night.
