Writing home from thick shadows by Janelle DolRayne

After five Franz Kline Paintings

 

(Painting No. 2, 1956)

Sometimes we sit on the logs with our legs dangling,
and try to levitate the slow sparkles in the water with our eyes.
Sometimes we stare so long, it appears to be happening.
Sometimes we stare so long, we rock back and forth.
