DamScape 2
Once I dreamt
my future love and I
would melt into the blue
of some impressionist’s painting
in the downtown art museum.
Still waiting, today
I stood alone against
David Schnell’s View
where I became,
as all viewers do
the figure invited into
the overlarge space
with city-scaped gardens
and floating platforms
against a powder-blue sky.
Entering, I wondered who or what
might be on the other side:
maybe something wondrous
as Nothing.
Such genius of the artist’s transformation!
He will never be alone.
