Fog Horns
The loneliest days,
damp and indistinct,
sea and land a haze.
And purple fog horns
blossomed over tides—
bruises being born
in silence, so slow,
so out there, around,
above and below.
In such hurts of sound
the known world became
neither flat nor round.
The steaming tea pot
was all we fathomed
of is and is not .
The hours were hallways
with doors at the ends
opened into days
fading into night
and the scattering
particles of light.
Nothing was done then.
Nothing was ever
done. Then it was done.
You had me fooled for a minute:-)
Love this one eddie because the foreground or “reality” becomes part of the painting and it is a bit disorienting (and it is a good image :})
