Invoke the Muse
a scribble from 2021
Farm, from The Small Landscapes, Johannes and Lucas van Doetecum:
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, The Met Open Access
Speak to me
Bring forth the image you sought
When I was made,
Created to create
The ends of my means
Offer to me
The sweet caress of your vision
The gentle gift in my mind
Your effort your power
To imagine, to build, to satisfy
Fight with me
Against that force
Unnameable immovable
Ever present and fleeting still
Pushing back on my dreams\
Come with me
Into the wild into the void
Where land remains uncharted
The beauty yet to be,
I craft out of clay
