Poet #1

Watercolor and ink on paper, 11″ x 14″, 1998

Pencil draws the line itself

Slow, by numbers

A hiding hand
…hiding eye

Parading faces there…
Three young men in hats

Dreamers—
This one; a Lover.

Poet #2

Watercolor and ink on paper, 11″ x 14″, 1998

This one’s a seer,

Thinker
(Quiet)

Assembling with stars

A perfect infinity

Poet #3

Watercolor and ink on paper, 11″ x 14″, 1998

This one acts:

Massive head

Golden tongue

Meters tall

Gentle hand
a wink.
