Visual response to:
Solitary Skies
The floor is crude, cracked, speckled,
19th century concrete.
The walls---colonial white.
The bars---columns of despair.
The air--thick with injustice.
To breathe is laudatory; for windows, ventilation and natural light are nil.
The sky is but a memory; a frozen image of burnt-ora

When making art is not enough, it becomes the record that we tried. That we saw. That we refused defeat.
WILDERNESS

Size: 11x14

Visual response to:
Wilderness
This wilderness
A forest of new dimensions
Asphalt for grass, gun towers for trees
A zoo of rats, roaches,
And the shadows of men.
Nature made concrete
Permanently encased
In a matrix, a maze
Phantoms without names
Exhibits of no escape.
Numerical skeletons
Both waste and fertilizer

Visual response to:
Strange Fruit (excerpt)
After Billie Holiday
Human ornaments.
The oak trees still stand
The ground, where dark matter
Once kissed the daisies
Has become a precinct
Hooded men of the night
Still meet there and patrol.

Lexington, KY. Thousands of enslaved people—sold. Tourism alongside a defaced historical marker—written over, painted red. Barren, desolate lands—untilled and dead. The aftermath.
