New York 1987 Wandering through the Lila Wallace Wing I rein up with a sharp jolt Before a stainless sculpture Lumious in orange light Deliberate scratches on the structure Recede within thy work Yellow eels are swimming In a blue aquarium Rust-colored neurons Orange wisps of memory and design Are seething through the artist's mind Imagination bodying forth the world Think of a red Marc horse From the conventional corral of a wooden horse Before the gates of Troy Ocysseus' sword at the throat Of a companion who would Cry out in terror.
