WANDA PHIPPS


Morning Poem #1

Floating grey web pages
step into a crowded vacuum
Clouds sweating

There's a gauzy scrim
in front of my eyes
Between me and
the rest of the world.

POETRY -

 CHRISTINE  BRUNESS   

Her Blank Canvas

Her blank canvas
11" x 14"
Boxed -
Patiently rests
In its package
With a quiet power
Knowing
It will become
The artist's
New lover -
Graciously feted
With an unwavering devotion
Massaged with brushes
Energized with cobalt blue
Generously fed
Olive and leafy greens,
Banana yellow and caviar black
Soothed with a turquoise bath
Forever sealed with
Crimson kisses...
All to tenderly inspire
A hurting world
To heal.

"Until"

Women are great masters
At starving themselves
They are fine artists
In this deadly art
Keeping the pain...
What would happen,
Then,
If each one
Gave in
To satisfy
Her starving stomach
Or
If they joined
In solidarity
And collectively
Fed their hunger
Once and for all
Until
They were not
Hungry any more?

any love

tender leaf
clings hysterically
to warm car door
