Remise

Remise

Looking where
We last saw it
Searching
For tenderness
Discovering
What we had dismissed
Searching
For compromise
Remise

Pine Barren

Blood cries
From the ground
Desolate
My heart
Pines
Barren
Tall stalks
Tower
Long walks
Buried beneath
Overtures
Bleak

My friend Michael Bixler is an excellent photographer, artist, writer, videographer and “adventurer” who took the photo above of the Pine Barrens, In The Pines. Like much of his work, this photo captivated me and inspired the poem Pine Barren. Bixler has provoked me to poetry with Motel back in October of 2012, Ghost Lake also in October of 2012, Late Autumn Epiphany last November, and Homage back in December of 2012, I am a huge fan of his work and am grateful he allows me to use his art as my muse.
