January 2025

In January
the Flying Carpet
flew low and carefully
through shadows

shadows of late afternoon stillness
 

shadows of inscrutable messages

shadows of whisper moire

 shadows of webbed glass

shadows of imperceptible tangle

  shadows of vine calligraphy

shadows of wrought iron lace

shadows of transience

shadows of the past

Special thanks to 

Erica Wannamaker 

and John Garrett

for making sculptures

that cast exquisite shadows
