I think our minds respond to things beyond this world. Take beauty: it’s a very mysterious thing, isn’t it? I think it’s a response in our minds to perfection. It’s too bad, people not realizing that their minds expand beyond this world. - agnes martin
it’s not so much the purity
that imputed poetry -
no saint, you
offer a more fierce protection:
what is yours
and yours alone
i think they misread you
the way you hold the light –
no seductress, you
just keep searching:
what is yours
and what is ours
all those simple figures
traced on skin –
no skeptic, you
a true believer:
searching for truth
in the bones
i keep returning to the
promise
of something more –
the sublime, perhaps
you keep skating
on edges:
this
prayer.
