from 'A Promise of Art’:
Carving a great stone
a pimple pushed to the surface of this green mountain
a mighty rock laid in my path
have i the right to put my mark on this age old boulder
swapping strength
fighting for Art
hand to stone combat
surrender your form and i shall bleed without a care
my body shall ache until we meet again partner
singing together i hear your tones ringing
along with my hammer and chisel
rhythms ferried away on crisp winds
to sheep's ears
my song-image that shall remain for years
that birds will look down upon
and remark in song
that shall catch the eye of a walker on by
and hold their attention in my unknown history
like the mystery history of this stone
that found me and held me to a promise of
ART
