Image, Description, and audio for poem #883

 

 

 

The Poets light but Lamps –

Themselves – go out –

The Wicks they stimulate –
If vital Light
 
Inhere as do the Suns –
Each Age a Lens
Disseminating their
Circumference –
 
Description,
 
This
piece was made in the summer, it is a combination of many different
things.  The sunset picture was taken on our road trip with the boys.
 One of our stops was the Zippo Lighter museum,  of which I actually let
my boys 8 and 10 get their own Zippo lighter, fighting with them the
rest of the way to stop lighting it in the car.  But how perfect I
thought this poem, “The Wicks they stimulate”, went with the classic,
Zippo lighter.  Also in this piece is the reflection of my studio’s
windows through the lens of my new camera.  I was definitely lit up with
all the possibilities of a new studio.  But just as quickly as I am lit
up,the flame goes out, when the lady I leased the studio from, tells me
she’s moving out, and I need to as well.  Darkness hits, but the sun
will rise again, and shed light on all that matters.  With the money I
was paying in rent, and help from my parents, I now have a new IPad Pro
to do my art on.  As technology advances so do our children,
“Disseminating their Circumference”.
