Works of Art

Posted on February 3, 2024February 3, 2024 by Erin B.
Read a book while
hours 
slip by.
Traverse countries with adventure.
Experience a love more tender
than prose.
In the long run,
I adore these
works of art in life.

Abstract the Essence

Posted on January 14, 2024January 14, 2024 by Erin B.
Perhaps the purest
substance of human light
is concentrated
in art itself.
Abstract the essence of
every book.

Art Suggests

Posted on November 5, 2022November 5, 2022 by Erin B.
Art suggests a fragility
that it is too vulnerable
in the world.
But it is precisely that
backhanded compliment
to explain wonder
in the unassuming mundane.

This Book

Posted on April 4, 2022August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
This book
serves as my epigraph,
a work of art
turning other people's
creative fictions
into poems that explore
life experiences.

Whole Point

Posted on July 8, 2021August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
That's the whole point.
I don't want to fade
I want to flame away - 
a work of art
ablaze with hope.

Try to Understand

Posted on June 17, 2021August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
Beauty expressed by art
can awake in us
a sensation so whole
that we speak of these things
and try to understand.

Art

Posted on June 22, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
To observe art as
an impersonal thing is common.
Between the lines
an shapeless blurs
is a singular experience
outside the trivial.

The  Picasso of my soul
was love.
The girl I love.
