Re: Draw notes poem

Overlord, 

You who you are
With oversight on the world
As it shits around the edges 
Making slow turns 
Circling timeless time  

As the world shifts around the edges

As the sun blackens 
And the eye blindens, 
I draw fading beauty
In washes of sepia 

As the sun blackens
As the eye blindens
I capture light fading 
In washes of sepia 

Will the brush capture
The fading light of the evening
In loose washes of sepia 

Will you draw upon the beauty
Of the horizontal moon ? 



Will you pick up speed
To draw the moving feet 
Of commuters in the 
freezing winter morning? 

Will you suspend 
The seagull in flight
Will you catch its wing 
As it tears up the light? 

Will you snare the sparking gems 
Flickering on the water? 
Draw the frothy divide of white
As a ferry cuts through the Hudson? 
 
 inflorescence of frothy white
As the ferry cuts through the river?

Long coats 
Tired arms 
Wailing voices 
Droopy eyes

Voices of 

aching 
With their undone work 


I draw flickering beauty 
In washes

Through brown dusty windows
The sun still reaches 
Light blinding the waters 
Long shadows creasing buildings 

The shape of light 
Disappearing in flight 
A dispensary of white 
Floating by the tail sight

At night, you see 
Gems of light 
Flickering in sight 
Strange shapes 

Dark shadows flickering on awnings 
Long shadows inking awnings 

The rattling motor of the ferry



In 
In loose 
In pale vermilion

I draw beauty
I look at the blue water
Sparkles in the moving water
Yellow moon hanging horizontal 

I belong to that ancient community
Of craftsmen that chiseled grace and beauty 
One stone at a time

I am of ancient ilk
Ancient Kannadiga
In pen and ink 

Drawing blue waters
The flight of pigeons 
Waiting people 
Nursing cell phones 

The line is moving 
One wave at a time 
Catch the wing 
Against the light of the sky
As it disappears into the blue 

From where I place my feet
I spot a hyacinth parakeet 



Sea gull in flight

Drawing upon life 
Working on the ideas 
Rattling in the train


Ideas 
Working the train
