Painters’ Exhalations 575
—after Toni Grote’s Twilight Trees
Brothers wear
graying sleeves, covering
sliced skin of antiquated bark.
Their variant size
accurate as
displayed wholly
within flattened dimensions of
esoteric shadows.
Painters’ Exhalations 576
—after M Mellon’s Internal Landscape Nine
Upon awakening, the
eye swerves onto its own controlled contour,
amazed. A stun retribution
wide in its scolding manifest for
awakening prior to the mind’s fullest
relax. Blur, the blue blur as in a
cotton ball sky
draping light’s sectional shoulders,
understanding mirage
is the temporary body
overtly bound to required
dissipation.

following
demands of the sensational
caricatures
peripatetically sufficient

Painters’ Exhalations 578
—after David Lloyd Glover’s Trane – John
Readying, I witness shadow-still meditation. Your
gift, golden brass of elucidating notes
sits
as patience covers its elongated body,
a dress of design
designed of the elaborate prose found
stimulating creative consciousness. The
time of representing soon will
collide with evaluating stares
appreciating
the genius
found sans flawed rhythms
delighting as the crowd erupts within
fully stretched applause.
Painters’ Exhalations 579
—after John Lautermilch’s Evening’s Final Glow
At 5 o’clock
sky dons her
orange-rose robe,
readying night
for resting landscapes
her moment
to become antiquated
decision to etch its syllables
across all onlookers’
designated stares.
