Morning
Rain
On
Snow.
No
Clear
Way
To
Know
Whether
To
Shovel,
Sweep,
Or
Give
Up
And
Go
Back
To
Sleep.
What
The
Hell,
It’s
Just
As
Well
To
Let
It
Freeze,
Or
If
It’s
Warm,
Produce
Slush
With
Perfect
Ease.

The
Beastly
Trumper
Slithers
Beneath
Dank
Weeds,
His
Slimy
Brood
Whimpering
Their
Needs
As
They
Grub
Among
Rank
Misdeeds,
Eating
With
Voracious
Greed
The
Nation’s
Wealth,
Damaging
The
Country’s
Health.
Eating
Until
Nothings
Left
And
All
Is
Lost.
And
Who
Will
Pay
The
Cost?

*Crows* Ink On Paper
Morning
Light
A
Mist,
Frost
Kissed,
As
I rise
From
Rest,
By
The
New
Day
Blessed.
Crows
Stalk
The
Side
Walk,
Patches
Of
Dense
Black,
Then
Glossy
Plumage
Shining,
They
Rise
Like
Notes
Of
A
Song,
Remembered,
But
Long
Gone.

*Mountain Snow* Ink On Paper
A
Boa
Of
Snowy
Cloud
Slides
Sideways
Down
The
Mountain
Flank,
A
Furry
Shroud
Shrugged
From
A
Stone
Shoulder,
Slipping
Gaily
South,
Boulder
To
Massive
Boulder.

*Warren Keating*
Rain.
Rain
Inside,
Rain
Outside.
Yesterday’s
Sun
Has
Gone
Another
Direction,
Obeying
Nature’s
Predilection
To
Shine
Or
Not,
Leaving
Me
With
What
I’ve
Got.
But
No!
Now
It’s
Begun
To
Snow.

*Winged Torso* Cast Bronze Mahogany Base 6 1/2" HIgh
Tracking
Down
An
Object
To
An
Initial
Plaster
Carving,
Then
A
Wax
Mold,
Then
A
Gypsum
Mold
And
Finally,
A
Bronze
Casting
Of
Dull
Gold,
The
Labor
Of
Many
Days.
I wasn’t
Looking
For
Praise,
I only
Wanted
My
Visitors
To
See
This
Close
Aspect
Of
My
Work
And
Me,
But
I began
To
Sense
They
Didn’t
Want
To
Know,
So
I passed
Other
Things
By,
And
Patiently
Waited
For
Them
To
Go.

I’ve
Heard
That
To
Gauge
If
A
Person
Lies,
First
You
Must
Notice
Their
Eyes.
Shifts
And
Glances
Indirect
Become
Suspect.
Then
The
Tone
Of
Their
Speech,
Flat,
Insincere,
And
Far
Out
Of
Reach.
And
The
Hands,
Oh,
The
Hands,
That
Beckon
And
Beseech,
But
It’s
Specious
And
Fake
In
The
Gestures
They
Make,
And
I can
Readily
See
This
Sly
Politician
Is
Lying
To
Me.

*Canyon* Pen And Ink On Paper
Difficult
To
Track
Back
To
What
Was
Seen
In
Far
Off
Places
I have
Been.
I took
Away
A
Fragment
Of
A
Day,
And
Marvel
At
The
Way
What’s
Glimpsed
In
Passing
Lingers
For
A
Decade,
To
Emerge
In
The
Last
Thing
Made.

Spent
Today
Watching
The
Impeachment
Hearings.
Can’t
Turn
Away
From
What
These
Folks
Have
To
Say.
Some
Speak
Of
Facts,
But
The
Other
Side
Attacks
Facts.
It
Becomes
Easy
To
See
Who
Are
The
Fools,
They
Are
The
Ones
Whose
Questions
Are
Cruel.
Some
Carry
The
Flag,
And
Brag
They
Are
True,
But
Those
Upholding
Our
Law
Know
What
They
Must
Do.

*Gabriele Munter* Woman In An Armchair
Stolen
Hours,
Time
Alone,
Solace
For
The
Flesh
And
Bone,
To
Contemplate
The
Braided
Thoughts
That
Translate
Into
Paint
And
Word,
Silent,
Unknown,
And
Unheard,
Until
An
Object
Comes
To
Be,
For
Anyone
That
Cares
To
See
The
Person
That
Is
Me.
