Created with watercolor and gouache, sealed with cold wax, and mounted to a 10 inch birch circle. Wired in back and ready to display.
Water’s Call
when I was young
at our remote mountain house
a dark hole scooped from the clearing
paved and filled by hoses
called the frogs by thousands
drowned the night with wavering screeches.
I listened and wondered
how did they get there?
how did they know?
that moment a frog paused
smelled cool water miles away
then turned and hopped alone
across the dry leaves of the forest
