Mar 2019
You wanted to embrace those whose faces faded
Sulking under palm trees surrendered to ambivalent forces, amidst supreme high progeny
Echoes ripple in ponds of luminescence

Age of fluid cultures.

To which pondering came as educative insight,
A thousand rhetoric's gesture the same
Cicero’s wisdom spills from ancient text; sought after and ascertained
First concept illustrative brush strokes dark salmon
Beige clay houses push back and are removed from sight
All engagements sentenced.

On limestone obelisks, a martyr was celebrated
Immaculate moments painted by sacred hands
She stood over mountain castle balconies in Dutch*Moroccan architecture, forever pondering spectacles in foreign spaces.

He sprinted through the door to vault the fence and avoid prosecution…

Freedom.

FIN.
