Fireworks blending in the sky, Captured by an ardent watcher; Muses in poetic light, Sharing their secrets of sensual art . . . Silent moments of the past Captured in prismatic charm, Together Splayed upon a screen By esoteric means. Showing colours in their prime, Intertwining with tortuous grace; Blues so vivid in their infinite depth, Live intimately with pinks . . . Who Blaze shockingly with rich reds, And blush timidly with soft creams . . . Yet yellow bursts out with sun’s golden warmth, Coaxing orange to live on when sunset has gone; And green In exotic glory Stands alone Above all In a world of its own. By Jennifer Simbari ( 1986 ) |
( inspired by the masterpiece
“Navajo Girls” painted by Simbari ) [ first published in New York, in 1988, in the Simbari Exhibition Catalogue ] |
