BAS-RELIEF BLUE by GTimothy Gordon Behold the sun as still As the flat, blue, pastel sky, And the day daily burns a slow, Fervent burn in its bas-relief beneath-- Brute lives of strays and waifs, Unnamed, unnamable, Found on the floor of earth, True as the trueblue sky, Still as the stillborn sun. DISORDER AND EARLY SPRING by GTimothy Gordon They have finally Decided to come Alive on the lower Slope, shape and color Intruding into view Mountain and brush, First faint stippled hues Effacing the comely blue And prescient sun Even unto the nightswell Where in-deep, Under starlit canopy They cease waiting, Sensing their certain sway Into the wild, Crazy with color.
