I search: 

For pattern and color and shape and line and margin 

nature and architecture 

For that, altered by our sun and moon and man-made suns

I search until I rest. 

On a soft screen for protection and projection, 

granting patterns and colors a soft surface to land

from minute to minute, season to season, 

rain to shine 

On small creatures, amoral, 

symmetrical, determined, 

predating the human - the continual aggressor - outnumbering, 

abiding by rules unknowable

These are the bounties of my search for now, 

and I wield them, 

with time and nature and oil and pigment and fiber

I hope: 

To invent the immortality of a moment 

To forget my own mortality 

To exorcize my guilt for the victims of the human
