Rejoice Grieve
Krakk – the white chips fly
Rasssppf – white powder rains
Hollows, contours and textures freed
Quiet dip and touch
Hues penetrate the weave and thread
Shapes, feelings, meanings leap
Soft scratch and flow of ink
Trails cross the page and speak
Wisdom, joy, tragedy
Strokes of twinned creation and destruction
A stroke alone and individual
Strikes marble block from hillside quarry
Cuts canvass bolt and nails to wooden frame
Chops page from roll of paper
Strokes empathetic and cooperative
Expressive face, emotive body shapes
Blended pigments - light and shade and depth
Concepts, histories, and futures
Strokes wrestling for improvement
Drama, monument, installation
Romantic, surreal, abstract
Story, poem, song
Strokes meant to dominate
Idol, coin
Accusation, verdict
Doctrine, certainty
Rejoice our new creations,
Grieve every destruction,
Each lesson in uncertainty.
Celebrate life learning.
