No mere recorder this

Light falls
On an electric canvas
Strokes from a brush
Made of glass

Interpretations
Of a world made
From highlights
And shadows
Rendering texture
And line

I can see for miles

Sometimes
I can see for miles and miles
But still have no clue
Where the road will take me

Aperture

An aperture always defines
The world within its frame
By what it includes
By what it excludes
By the format of its frame
By the point of view
By the tones it renders
By the subject it chooses

Depth of Field

I am drawn to a small dab
A weld attaching the “5” to the sphere
Why am I drawn there?

My eye wants to take in the “5”
To follow curves
Explore hard edges
Take in textures

A Heavy Burden

Truth is too heavy a burden
For mere words to bear

Derelict Docks

The only thing
Unchanging
In a landscape
Of the past

Is the part of us
Which believes history
Is about the past

The greatest doings of men

I gaze across the chasm,
Marvelling at craftsmanship
At sheer force of will
The artistry and ingenuity of human beings
Seeking to make the world
A little better for themselves
A little more comfortable
A little more secure

Perhaps

A little more beautiful.
