detail of piece by Mother Dwarf Smith 1926-2005
Flow Chart
Sepia past
oozes wet and warm
through hand-colored present
Blacks turn grey
darks leak light
lets loss in again
Pain of birth
fades in time
with child’s growth
Remembered thens
infect now
in season’s intersect
Old wrong turns
map expectations
tint situational current
And so we let it all go
wait in slow grow
to know
– Smith, 1.9.2017
