Making it Speak: Poets and Artists in Cahoots (at Sheboygan Visual Artists) was such a fun time. I was lucky to get paintings by Christopher Tucker (right) to inspire me. All poems and art from the exhibit are now available in a beautiful book.
Since then I have dabbled even more with Ekphrasis.
Aeolus Sleeps
Aeolus sighs and exhales,
almost ready to surrender
to stillness who will rule
until his return. Winking
at the setting sun,
he gathers its warmth
and blows a gentle gale
into the sky, where it gathers
stars and clouds and dusk,
and rolls them into a noisy ball
that knocks its din into hillsides
onto rooftops, shakes canopies
of trees and pricks itself
upon the steeple before
settling, undisturbed,
into the corners of the
night, finally to sleep.
