Living Now For The Latter

an appreciation of art, artists and people who try. written 6/27/09. it's hot.

I wish to leave a streak upon this ground

in the aeon sure to follow

an age that may become plus or minus

forms of present design and arrangement

thus possibly negating this particular occupation

but a streak none the less, a form

an expression of this experience

 

too many lay their frames inside

only replicas as remnants to repeat the act

with limited variance and vigor

stones a fitting remembrance

of beings hard to life, stoic and stiff

this one, soon enough to slouch and stone

hopes, in death, to have two homes

one in.  one upon.

You are right- far too many try to replicate what was already said. I applaud the courage of the one who says, "I want to leave something that is mine, d****t!"

For in the end, I would think our greatest fear is not what happens when we die, but what happens after it, when the impact of our lives is measured?

Very moving piece, nicely executed.

I found my way here again. It happens sometimes. I found the work even more lovely the second time around. Reminds me a little of Frost. First rate work.
