Color is
a Sol Lewitt piece at the 59th St. Columbus Circle subway station in New York, and
it’s an urban industrial sunset on Staten Island.
Color marches up a sculpture by John Fleming and soars
against bluest heaven.
Color is graffiti in Seattle, too – and the intricate thread-work
on an ancient Silk Road Ikat coat, tacked to a museum wall.
Color grows organically on a rusty old truck
behind a nursery in the Skagit Valley (where soon miles of tulips and daffodils
will set the evening aglow).
It plays games
in a midtown New York City store window.
Color is isolated
by a rubber glove dropped in a Seattle alley;
and color
dances
when sunbeams illuminate a torn leaf
in my red cabinet.
Color sweetens the deal in pink and
purple stripes: red osier dogwood twigs blended, in camera.
It reflects late day sunlight –
silver and gold: a banner night. It
swirls
in choppy waves across Chihuly glass
in Tacoma.
Mid-day summer-sun sets color down
flat
on tabletops set out on Seattle sidewalks.
Color ricochets through glasses in an old ship’s galley,
mushes together as it lays exposed
to the elements,
stuck
on a car door,
abandoned in a field,
somewhere.
