poem

 (untitled)

The art is a shimmering glimpse of truth

using only words;

axioms as a staring point perhaps,

set up with some startling imagery,

capturing life as it’s lived

on Earth decisively—

like a sunrise gold

as paint on a relic

from an Egyptian tomb;


something easily imagined and unmistakable,

set to metaphor or simile,

that upon completion makes the jaw drop.
