Mirrors, china, glass
And earthenware
A gem here, a jewel there.
Undaunted she continued
Sorting through those
Shattered disparate pieces.
Flummoxed and confused they
Watched over this mosaic muse
Crying out:
“We don’t understand!
There’s no flash, no cash —
Only this faded trash!”
But there was no time to quell that strife.
She was too busy building her
Beautiful mosaic life.
“The Painter as portrayed by himself must not be reduced to a subject of history, but must be shown, by his/her pictorial gaze, to be individual & timeless” P.B. 1985 (Quote from wall tiles.)
