Image & Words dedicated to one of the greatest poets ever, my fellow artist and dear friend – Carolyn Srygley-Moore
should my art ~ its intent
its design
be sculptured
laid out word by word
image by image
to attract the predisposed eye
of my peers…… or those deemed worthy
bequeathed intellectual elitism ~ to give
that stamp of approval
so my creativity can then be touted
far and wide……
amongst the chosen caste
never given the opportunity
to shine on the everyday people
so they too….
by themselves
would come to know
experience fully
my artistic individuality
……..fuck no ~
‘cause that ain’t the intent
behind the design
of my artistry
my art ~ word by word
image by image….. is the embodiment
like Sheldrake ‘s morphic field ~ resonance
a unique pattern of characteristics
assembled and choreographed
similar to a dance movement
laid out just so…….. those coming upon it
discover and experience
its
sole effect
its individualized
~ archetypical
artistic expression
interpreted by….. just them
not someone else
not so different than
the effect
of a super moon
moving across the horizon
on a cool spring eve
