FOR DAVID P BA
-
The eye follows the landB
Slips upward creases down formsC
The gentle buttocks of a youngD
Giant In the nestleE
Old adobe bricks washed ofF
Whiteness paled to umberG
Await another centuryG
-
Star Jasmine and old vinesH
Lay claim upon the ghosted landB
Then quiet pools whisperG
Private childhood secretsI
-
Flush on inner cottage wallsJ
Antiquitous facesK
Used to the gelid breathL
Of old manors glare disdainfullyE
Over breached timeM
-
Around and through theseN
Cold phantasmatalitiesN
He walks insistingO
To the languid airG
Activity musicP
A generosity of gracesN
-
His lupin fields spurn oldQ
Deceit and agile poppies danceN
In golden riot Each day isN
Fulminant exploding brightlyE
Under the gaze of his exquisiteR
Sires frozen in the famed paintS
Of dead masters AudaciousN
Sunlight casts defianceN
At their feetT
