Lanterne Sequence
Swansong
A
final
hurrah in
our rosebed as
the
last
Autumn
colours are
lost in winter
snow.
Ekphrastic Lanterne
Flaming June
(Frederick Leighton 1830-1896)
A
flimsy
negligee
betrays her round
shape—
an
honest
innocence
in becalmed deep
sleep.
Ekphrasis Lanterne
Indian Red & Black
(Clifford Still 1904-1980)
Black
yellow,
red on white—
a craggy edge
bleeds
down in
jagged shapes
to inflame the
mind.
Giverny
(series by Claude Monet)
a
garden
series of
repetitive
views—
pools,
lilies,
bridges and
paths that housed his
mind.
Metaphors of Silence
(Summer Evening by Edward Hopper )
In
pictures
within a
picture, life stands
still—
our
inner
sensations
inhibit the
view.
Bereaved
(Inspired by Pieta by Michelangelo 1475-1564)
Her
sorrow
drips in tears—
onto empty
hands.
