Start
by turning up the heat. (It
usually
takes a while to heat up and begin to
melt.) Beeswax, gesso-like, just pure beeswax
melting
on wood takes the color. Perhaps a mountain
evening
gold pearlescent damar
resin,
shaped by the moment into a moment of
lightning
bolt survives layer after layer a landscape emerges
in
a hot wax pastiche. Waxes &
resins. Impulses & desires
gesso-like a mountain
hike,
this blue is a risk. Colors come blaring in
the
rain comes out under a Satie cloud of sound emerging from above.
Not
to know, to not know ahead of time
it
takes a while, cloud-like then more blue to
notice,
to ignore the need to know. Only color
as a
gesture
in wax caught in a rare moment of NW summer mountain lightning.
