Collage Of A Life
poem by Philip Dodd for the Best Six Poets Project
painting by Kathryn Carlyle
A collage of a life painted on canvas.
Images separated by pale tone spaces.
Is that just a random tree?
Could it mean nothing to you but something to me?
And what are those buildings?
Why are they there?
Did you walk by them one summer,
the south wind in your hair?
It is strange, seems to do us good,
the way we create things with words,
pictures and sounds,
steered by the spirit we tune into
that moves through the air.
Outstanding!
Thank you very much.
My pleasure.
