| Description |
Embossed paper featuring two large squares, one tilted toward the other, and squiggly lines, matted on olive green paper with a poem centered in the lower third of the green paper. The poem is the first (I) section of "Zen: The Rocks of Sesshu" by Lucien Stryk. What do they think of Where they lean Like ponderous heads, the rocks?- In prankish spring, ducks Joggling here And there, brushing tails, Like silly thoughts shared, Passed from head To head? When, gong quavering About a ripened sky, we Up and go, Do they waken from a dream of flesh? |
