ART APPRECIATION

The difference
between a curse and its cures —
like the letters of the words themselves —
lies in the rearrangement
of its parts,
a shift in seeing,
a glance outward
and staring within.
How lovely the world might be
in which we might see differently
a new perspective,
the glass — a vase, perhaps —
not half empty
nor half full
but, possessing breath,
a potential for velocity
and for cradling several sunflowers,
severed in their beauty
for us to admire
for a few days, at least.
