Autumn grasses (study); 2013; 6.5″ x 6.25″; mixed media: oil pastel, pencil, & watercolor.
Something autumn
seeps among these grasses.
Rooted, fettered –
bodily,
as through me treads the sky.
Pressed to this leaden veil,
geese
consume me there,
suspended in their hollow, longing call.
Oh, ponderous song!
Where the way through?
Take flight!
if I could,
neither north nor south –
