Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

a man reaches up to touch
circling birds - the ones close by
also the really high ones

his daughter & her friend
pose for photographers
one faces the camera
the other turns from it -

some work
some are tired
we all wear masks
to hide or honor the dead
in rooms where men
leap through lighted fountains
& the shadow of a small lizard
sticks to the ceiling

mysterious----and that's why it works for me as I read it.

succinct... delivered like a finely balanced spear straight into the imagination.

"we all wear masks
to hide or honor the dead".....
