In memory of Paul Canfield
hands
themselves carved of passion and mystery
mistress to creation’s fashion and misery
scultp
beauty chase beastly fear
shavings scatter
fertilize desires …dreams … memories
challenge/cringe
sing/harangue
dare/despair
eternal soap opera
sorrow just an other’s cliche
tomorrow just another day
on mother earth
confusions pour
delusions reign
hearts strain
art is pain
truths seclude
hands denude
but not always patient
to wait for sun’s shadow
to shield primordial doubt
tears are wept
faith is kept
in our hands
