Petroglyph Picasso
marks of his time with palette
pyramid lights
a different red bull
Petroglyph Picasso
mark of our time
dismembered disjointed shapes
wanting to be whole
Petroglyph Picasso
Oh to sit for a portrait with the master
take this cup
leave the table and dance!
Joy of the master’s studio
blank slate or finished canvas
lines take shape
black and white or color
begin a new work
Petroglyph Picasso
pitcher and the poet pours out
a stream of water let go
that no longer fills the vessel
like stone that needs no remembrance
or the folly of the etcher
Petroglyph Picasso
woman reading
thought of beginning middle and end
history fiction or current event
mind encapsulated in this moment
Petroglyph Picasso
mark of his time
the eye that saw war
the eye that saw peace
mouth ready to speak art
Petroglyph Picasso
a ring of suspense
who will die a violent death
a horse the bull or the matador
Petroglyph Picasso
shapes cut stone like
in still life with fans
moves the air regardless of time
Petroglyph Picasso
portrait of our time
confusion and the crucifixion
crying out with limbs
hands set in prayer
shapes cut like stone
seat of still life
Left behind by the master
Petroglyph Picasso
