Artist :: Abstract Form

A fresh tilt

At belief

A new understanding

Of how things lie


Am I to be manipulated

To become manipulative

To begin

By rearranging reality


Is this what Cezanne saw

Each morning

Looking out

Towards Blue Mountain


Was the snow

Through the rows of aspen

So secretly white

So serenely drifting

Artist :: Simple Form

Forget

About the foreground

Tar-macadam


Which may be

A not unattractive word

Although visually


Other than in great swathes

It is rather lacking

Even in the sunlight


The five or six silver birch

Good that you counted

And the swing


Beneath the apple trees

All of that must stay

The ridge though


Maybe to move that sideways

Busy: Abstract Form

Before, but not before

Love and kindness

The thin blue line

That is crossed

Then crossed again


One plus one

Makes

What one chooses

Beware

The longer stare

It is the loser

Busy :: Simple Form

First light, blue sky

All that walking

In the sun

Nattered

By pointless diversions


Critical

In the hot air

Not thoughtless

Although thoughts

Can be hard to handle

Murk :: Abstract Form

Particulates

Cells

Your A++

Dotted

About thin hair

Moving ever so


Slowly down

Into a gathering

Sufficient for recognition

Slivers of silver white

The mix

Approaching contagious
