Contemporary Art
contemporary
art is about the urban experience folks moved
from the
farm live in town when in a museum
a haystack painted by claude monet colors in the shadows
gets our
attention takes our breath away when we see it
perhaps we long for
a simpler time i live in new mexico
much of yesterday can be seen here each year the people
gather at the old ranchoes church as they have for hundreds of years
much of yesterday can be seen here each year the people
gather at the old ranchoes church as they have for hundreds of years
with their
hands cover it with fresh mud singing as they work
houses made of
mud just like the middle east farms still dot the countryside
in the fall fruit
and vegetables for sale by roadside
chili peppers from hatch roasted on the square aroma of roasting peppers
in the crisp fall air today's art is of this time this moment
the artist a prophet speaks of a time of climate change
chili peppers from hatch roasted on the square aroma of roasting peppers
in the crisp fall air today's art is of this time this moment
the artist a prophet speaks of a time of climate change
...and after this is our time there is no going back
still there are
those with their heads in the sand like an ostrich
climate deniers change is taking place right before their eyes
yet they do not
see still looking for art created for another time

I like that a haystack in a painting makes people catch their breath....I get the same way over real ones, lol. I love the people working on the mud walls, singing. It sounds heavenly there.
