 In February

The Flying Carpet 

found beauty in impermanence








Friday, January 31, 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
