about the alumni apparatus of incensed eyes and whispered sun. The heavy mirage of dots, landscape locked Seurat, a frieze of summer heat choking water lilies - the sun as a crystal ship adrift across bedlam-sponsored random dots. [61] STONE GUIDE She was fading - into the stone into rifled shadows heavy with fallen light, rippled boughs of splitting fruit & droopy leaves to a sallow body under clumsy years that ripped the tunic of her coat while bleating the dismal age with each petal fall of a stockinged foot. [62] RED ILLUSIONS UNDER GLASS Life as green illusion - the cool fronds of the fern are deep set in firmest soil and the grassy narrows brook a silent, liquid play. Red illusions under glass - quietly picking strawberries where a woman hums to the buzz of flies with the afternoon sun disappearing overhead. Each grasp of the berry a red stain, the darting of seeds, crimson tendrils do confuse the eye with a polka dot starling raucous in glee above.
