Step from the water, and the colors will find us and follow.
Do not be startled by darker spaces, nor memory that grows hair.
Further in, the history of a face, a face behind a face. Stillness and recognition.
Remember, in a blink, before the eye was framed, we were all once little girls,
looking for patterns, sunlight, and embryos.
Pale gold inside the cells. Scratch that. See what the other strands reveal.
Still bound to the vertical, we dance on a floor that shines like a sky.
Now run from what’s wild toward what is wildly lush in our own nature.
Walk in the snow toward the mountain where the mind can change its mind.
New textures, and still traveling. What’s there? A scribble and a little rapture.
Hasten, before death steals the show, before the child loses her wings. Red always wins.
Listen, Joy is a feather, an old woman in a new dress, and the return of suspenders.
Ride into yellow. Ask the cats which way to go, go pick berries, rest.
In our profiles, we ask what were we really looking for?
Sometimes the colors were so gorgeous, we just lost ourselves. It was that simple.
O’Hanlon Center for the Arts thanks Donna & Suzanne for their time and selections
