PAINTING BLACK AND WHITE NEGATIVES
FROM THE PAST IN THE SPRING
Your Rembrandt colors my world
painting me, almost always mystified
by passion, gentle and dreamed
it springs at me, touches and releases
and then re-colors me
colors and covers my world
more a Cézanne, or a river in misty spring
delicate subtle flowers of the new season stepping
tickling me
until I sing a song of a new and shiny day
brightly splattered
on your pastel rainbow canvas
yet dry and arid, bleak and bland
a black and white
dirty smudge
on old, wrinkled paper.

. . . thanks Bernadette, no reason why we can't have
a picnic right here. Even if we aren't in Chicago!
Everyone else is here, E., ml, jr, murph, McNeilly, Heinrich . . .
z, we got it going. I'm just ready to hear reports from
the field?? ; /
'colors of the rainbows
and shades of gray'
we see things in shades of colors
but how often do we see things in black and white
when we don't have 'time' to see the shades of color!
The black and white moments don't ever shade the many
colors of the rest of the world.

black and white, yet the essential contrast (black and white) remember
itself.

. . . thanks for the read Martin. I'm still enthralled
by the concept of color vs. black and white visuals.
. . . there's Physics in there somewhere, z?

Ah heck! I can't write a thing these days, what with kids doing this and doing
that and getting ready for holidays and and and... But I'll try and read what I
have time for!

. . . i didn't say I just wrote it! Work, kids, vacations
whose got time for sleep.
Might as well write, when all is said and done.
. . . it's the only time left when there's nothing left to do.
