SOUTINE PAINTING


We could not get away
from the green visibility
of your attainable paintings
on silent mornings
from venerable gardens
of trusted grasslands
from high hills
stunned by the dolor
of tall dunes
shivering from patinas
of your own hunger
without calculation
into listening to birdsong
breathing in the dazzle
of music envoys of spring
in windy breaths
of vocative echoes.
