I dream in colour
Vivid palette knife renditions
Block mounted
Framed in walk through galleries
Oils
Acrylics
Flowers for the living
I dream in black and white
Haunting shades of sepia
In negative exposures
Of putrefied pasts
Until my voice croaks
In perforating
Songs of light
Somewhere in between: I live
Swinging on Time’s pendulum
Stretching on her canvas
Developing on her film
And wondering: With the mountain behind us,
Which story is cast in the shadows
