Competing with desert blooms
Not to be bested.

“Just a Broken Limb” — Digital Art by kenne
Just A Broken Limb
Broken by the storm
Tumbled by the wind
Pebbled by the sand
Captured by the rock
How far I have come
From what I was
Lost between was and now
Never to go home again
Resting against the rock
Disguised as a twig
Knowing all that matters
Intoxicated by the possible

Dark Matrix of Matter Leave a comment
Glass Cactus Blossom – Computer Art by kenne
Last night I tossed in my sleep
something in a dream
was unreal, artificial,
everything made of glass —
no hammers allowed
swinging in the dark
matrix of matter
not directly observed
just it’s gravitational effects.

Hopperesque Art Leave a comment
Joy and Kenne in Bisbee, Arizona — Computer art by kenne
On a porch one afternoon
at the Copper Queen Hotel
after a discussion with the
ghosts from the days when
copper was king in Bisbee.
I took a selfie of Joy and me,
not the best photo, but good
enough to use Photoshop
filters and brushes to give it
a classic Hopperesque feel.
Of course, you may not think so.
He was a realist known to fix a
particular moment full of human
qualities and frailties, often with
a degree of self-absorption.

Expectations Leave a comment
Painting by kenne (March 20, 2018)
Expectations
Who are you
you who share
my very existence
with your expectations
sometimes calling them traditions
placing more value
on the worth of your expectations.
unwilling to understand
neither the what
nor the why
of my very being.
Who am I
I who share
your very existence
with my expectations
sometimes calling them logical
placing more value
on the worth of my expectations
unwilling to understand
neither the what
nor the why
of your very being.
Who are we
we who share
their very existence
with our expectations
sometimes calling them unconditional
placing more value
on the worth of our expectations
unwilling to understand
neither the what
nor the why
of their very being.
Who are they
they who share
our very existence
with their expectations
sometimes calling them laws
placing more value
on the worth of their expectations
unwilling to understand
neither the what
nor the why
of our very being.
Who are we
we who share
a universal existence
with our expectations
sometimes calling them just
placing more value
on the worth of all expectations
unwilling to understand
neither the what
nor the why
of a universal being.

Things of Poetry, Revisited 4 comments
“Things of Poetry” — Computer Art by kenne
Things of Poetry
Poppies
line the canyon trail,
brightening
each hiker’s way.
Passing greetings
share the joy
as the morning sun
intensifies
the canyon colors
brilliantly reflected
by each poppy,
the things
of O’Keeffe —
real poetry.

Some See Harness, I See Beauty Leave a comment
Sonoran Desert Scene — Panorama by kenne
The desert trail is dry
not comprehending
the absence of water.
What can a poem
for the desert say
not captured in an image?
As I hike the trails
will my words capture
what you cannot see?
Will you become aware
as a coyote scenting a rabbit
reworking your perspective?
Yet, I find myself questioning
why put into words that
kindled without flame.

“Mushroom Table” — Computer Art by kenne
On Top
All this new stuff goes on top
turn it over, turn it over
wait and water down
from the dark bottom
turn it inside out
let it spread through
Sift down even.
Watch it sprout.
A mind like compost.

A Solstice Night 1 comment
Winter Solstice (December 19, 2009, The Woodlands, Texas) — Computer Art by kenne
A solstice night
in the dead of winter,
strategically placed lighting
on the courtyard wall.
Dark shadows imprinted
beyond the naked trees,
in this gloomy season of mists,
concealing signs of winter’s damage,
where only ghosts abound.
Tomorrow morning
the low sun starts
a minute-by-minute journey back,
not behind, but within
it’s new spring companion.
But for now,
nature remains soulfully raw.
