 In February
The Flying Carpet
watched
The Parade of Spring

 

The precocious snowdrops

The unlocked crocus
with bees
delirious and purposeful

The brave hellebores
The awaiting clematis
The shivering prickly pears
The streaming yellow daffodils
But also the snow bending tulips!

Special thanks
to Daniel for his expertise
and his patience

and Sialia
for her gifts
and her garden

January Flying Carpet 2024

In January
The Flying Carpet
Glided slowly through
a white world
crystalline, silent, transitory

soaring between the snowflakes
sharp and soft
a time of peace
in this shrouded world


and sudden red

September Flying Carpet 2023

 In September
The Flying Carpet
sashayed over to the NEW/OLD
Railyard area in Santa Fe

The Depot is totally rescued
from a crumbling ruin
The Railrunner chugs daily
from Santa Fe to Belen

But who lurks tromp l’oeil
breaking through the wall
of the New Mexico School 

of the Arts?

The new Kid on the Block
is the 

Vladem Contemporary Museum
with its opening show

Shadow and Light
