*Landscape* 20"H X 24" W Oil On Linen
Today,
The
Sky
Is
A
Grey
Shag
Carpet
Of
Mountain
Mist,
Snow
Kissed.
Clouds
Roll
And
Reshape
To
Fill
The
Shifting
Hills
And
Valleys
Of
Drifting
Air,
Free
Floating,
Frosty,
Able
To
Roam
Anywhere.

*Tamara De Lempicka*
Once,
I Drove
As
Fast
As
I Could
Go,
Staying
Ahead
Of
New
York
Snow,
To
San
Francisco,
In
A
Fine
Mercedes
200D,
To
Learn
Who
I Might
Be
Living
Beside
Another
Sea.
Out
There,
The
Whole
Country
At
My
Back,
It
Was
Easy
To
Lose
Track,
And
After
Lingering
Through
Several
Seasons,
For
A
Number
Of
Reasons,
I Drove
Back.

*Torso* Cast Bronze 3" H
I Have
A
Suit
Of
Armor
That
I Wear.
Folks
Can’t
See
It,
But
It’s
There.
I’m
Shielded
From
Attack
Front
And
Back,
Protected
From
Daunting
Interactions
With
Indifferent
Factions
Apt
To
Take
Drastic
Actions.
My
Verbal
Sword
At
The
Ready,
I Stand
Steady
And
Hold
My
Ground,
Even
If
I’m
Turned
Down.

Has
Anybody
Seen
The
Shirt
Of
This
Handsome
Holiday
Flirt,
Coming
With
His
Bag
Of
Tricks
To
Gift
You
With
A
Christmas
Fix?
He’s
Parked
His
Sleigh,
Allowing
Ample
Time
To
Play
And
Grant
Your
Every
Yuletide
Wish,
All
For
Milk
And
Cookies
On
A
Dish.

It
Appears
That
Again
This
Year
I Won’t
Reach
That
Convenient
Beach
Where,
All
Tasks
Done,
I Can
Lounge
In
The
Sun,
Not
Pursed
By
Creeping
Debt
And
Viral
Disease,
Totally
At
My
Ease.
Ah,
Well,
Life
Is
Hell,
But
I’ll
Take
My
Share,
Carrying
My
Load
Of
Human
Care,
There
Will
Be
Rest
Ahead
Somewhere.

It
Occurs
To
Me
Almost
Every
Day,
That
I Have
Nothing
More
To
Say.
I Think
Of
Turning
Away
From
Words
Everybody
Has
Heard
And
Go
Back
To
Art,
To
Speak
My
Heart.
Paint
Is
Silent
And
Pliable,
Always
Reliable,
Never
Turns
Down
My
Little
Song,
Or
Tells
Me
My
Work
Is
Wrong,
Has
No
Objection
To
My
Style,
No
Rejection,
No
Editor
With
A
Form
Letter
Shooing
Me
Away.
I Go
On
With
My
Little
Shout,
Trying
To
Work
It
Out
In
Prose,
And
Frequently,
Bumping
My
Nose.

Uh-oh.
Not
Feeling
Right?
Hair
A
Mess,
Shoes
Too
Tight?
Mouth
Gone
Dry,
Watery
Eye,
Tricky
Knee,
Broken
Nail?
Well,
What
The
Hell.
How
To
Take
It,
Twist
And
Shake
It
One
More
Time,
And
Make
The
Whole
Thing
Rhyme.

*Georg Achen*
Eventually,
She
Came
To
Feel
Nothing
Was
Quite
Real,
Her
Quiet
Wish
A
Crazed
Dish,
Empty
As
She
Waits,
Anxiously
Abiding,
Her
Heart
In
Hiding.
The
Ordinary
Eats
Her
Days,
Waiting,
Anticipating
Some
Wondrous,
Sparkling
Prince
Will
Surely
Come
To
Take
Her
To
Wife,
And
Save
Her
From
This
Humdrum
Life.

The
Light
Dies
Out
Of
The
Day
And
Work
Is
Once
More
Put
Away.
December
Nights
Are
Long,
The
Planets
Coldly
Strung
Among
The
Winking
Stars.
A
Moon
Of
Ice
And
Stealthy
Mars
Contrive
To
Keep
It
All
Aligned
And
Until
Morning,
Guard
This
Little
Life
Of
Mine.

*White Horse Mesa* 24" H X 30" W Oil On Linen
Sunstruck,
Sliced
By
Shadow,
Chiseled,
Carved
Into
Crevices
And
Broken
Shards,
A
Dorsal
Fin
Of
Earth
In
Constant
Movement
Undetected
As
The
Planet
Spins,
Hovers
And
Glides
Through
Watery
Space,
Divides
Infinity
In
Two,
And
Hides
It
All
From
View.
