Canyons of Glass

the purple cow i never saw
wandered concrete canyons of glass
gazed at Landscape Spirits in awe
gave the boulder pool a pass







In rivers the water you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes. So with time present. -- Leonardo da Vinci

The Purple Cow


The Purple Cow

My project for this first summery weekend -- transforming the old cow. The blotchy lighting hides wrinkles and peeling underpaint. Co-Bossy greets visitors and subtly encourages them to use the handrails. She is an homage to a rural heritage, and an allusion to my first favourite poem--Gelett Burgess' "The Purple Cow": "I never saw a purple cow, / I never hope to see one. / But this I will say anyhow / I'd rather see than be one."


THE CURE FOR DROWNING

 Loghan Paylor. THE CURE FOR DROWNING I haven't enjoyed a novel this much for ages.
