Ourania And Graphic Arts


Ourania worked
Annular rings
From her lyre.
Sometimes she
Sings and can
Be heard in
Heartwood here.
She painted
Peace above
A battlefield.
Detail revealed it
Split stone and
Took away walls.
Nothing left
Except a telephone.
No one calls.

    1. Most kind, Emma. Thank you. The wavelength of solar years and conserved energy are recorded in our tabletops.

  2. Tree rings are amazing.

    And so is your line: She painted /Peace above/ A battlefield.

    1. Thank you Jenny. I have made adjustments to this poem for many years and think perhaps I've got that line right.

  3. Sometime it works with taking away walls, as we saw here in Berlin. Sometimes they errect new ones, frightened and frightening. One could use words to break walls in brains, though I have the uncomfortable feeling that at the moment they use battle words to build new walls in the mind.

    1. I have that "uncomfortable feeling" too, Brigitta. Walls built to keep things out can also imprison things within.

    1. Indeed, as the first artist, nature produced all artists.
