Would you choose the simple

Or the abstract form


Would you rather find a meaner muse


It was more than a ruse

Yet how did it lose its way


Would you prefer to cruise

Without paying your dues

Limitations

Love Working With Who You Are


Did one lead

Did one follow

Did one make life clear

Did one leave a life confused

Clock :: Abstract Form

Spaces, between faces

Lines in the sand

Will you wait for me

Will I wait for you


A longer stretch

Approaching a biography

Dipping in

Dripping out


Did you notice my discomfort

Did I notice yours

The yin and the yang of it

The tick and the tock of it


Chases, between places

Defined by plans

Will you hesitate for me

Will I be obdurate for you

Clock :: Simple Form

A car drives by

Soon its sound is gone

The kitchen tap drips

I wait for the next drop

My lead scratches the paper

I cannot keep it quiet

Yet I may soon silence it completely

My thoughts buzz

That is you in my subconscious

The walls are free of wallpaper

Instead they are adorned

With copies of impressionist masters

Portraits in imitation gilt frames

There are electric candle-lights

To illuminate the Roman numerals

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
