Swamps and other (not so foreign) lands….Paintings

Swamps are my latest passion.

Look through the bayou

to see tendrils;

Hanging down,

Gnarly plants

Reaching up .

Knotted fingers grappling with your shoe lace.

Schlepping to find

Your foot is no longer attached to your shoe,

Which is Sl-oww-ily

Disappearing into the muck.

Swamps have purpose.

Nothing stops

Or stomps

The Process.

Bile regurgitated,

In . to . new .clean . water

Eventually.

Waves of heat.

Water in the air,

Creating golden mirages.

Ghosts of what once was.

Plants breathing, it in

Moving with deliberation

An agenda only the swamp knows.
