 #3 from clouds, leaves, waves. 1986 Woman with Clothes Blowing in the Wind

12.

Chumash Indians in the Sierra 

Nevada, at the time of Goya

painting, Women with Clothes 

Blowing in the Wind--

tumbling through Sierras in Spain

a dry warm wind of inclusion, 

swirling, whirling gyres of winding 

reeds, generators of thought

and shells transmitted

through a projectors beam,

shadows of figures

on the tent’s walls

20.

The old woman’s clothes

blown in patterns like shells

thrown through beams of light,

whirling in a wind that

rushes through reeds,

Swoosh--

the stain of purple paint, 

peering into the layers

the striping wind in the mind, 

equating our thoughts thrown

on walls, gathering skirts

against the universe, 

on the high hill of an older time.

 It is interesting to me going back this far in time as I can now see more what I was thinking. Generally I was still wondering after my Mother's death 10 years before, what was going on. My philosophical pondering is finding it's relation in my investigation into the space of painting.
