The Poetry of Large Scale Sculpture

from the ground up

Olive cream cheese,
honestly, I could not pass it up.
Pumpernickel toasted sounded perfect.

We came for the donuts,
but gave into the shmear.
Bagels come in the appropriate shape.

Snaking deeper
into the forested mountains
the clearing made for art amazed.

Dull grey broke way
for hints of blue.
The air gathered a perfection.

We wandered the paths
casually discussing childhood,
adulthood, and what art did to our eyes.

Minutes, and seconds
were eventually cataloged by hunger
and rubbery legs.

I’ve been looking for attribution on the Storm King website, but can’t find anything about this series of pillars. If you know about this please leave a note in the comments, or in private. Thanks! (Photograph by DHBogucki 2018)

We did not have time for everything,
but we made time
for patience.

Picture making carried
as much weight
as our hearts did for beauty.
