written word
marks on substance
the stain of meaning
time degrades

No 9 in the series - working backward from the end, this is a longer poem, titled ‘umbilicus’.
This is partly an ekphrastic response to work I saw posted recently. It’s really an exploration of the words that accompany the visual. I was wondering if the explanation should be as much a poem as the artwork os a work of art.
Maybe it is…
You decide, I’m too close, now…
