‘Her Mother’s Nuns’ — Art by Katie Turner Bailey
(This art was a gift from Kate in 1999 and still hangs on one of our walls. This is a digital copy of her original art.)

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Two Red Rock Nuns

Looking at the two red rock pillars
with shades of red forming lines
shaded by the late afternoon sun.

The hump-backed moon rises
over the nuns distorted faces —
smeared red lips not desiring.

Centuries of decay at their feet
delivered by tears of benevolence
a token of good will everlasting.

A sky so blue, not to be bought
by any painter at any human price —
isn’t that, after all, left to the gods.
