beautiful morning
blank canvas
like those that Quattrocento painters created
in magical landscapes
in captivity in her own homeland
when the plane Carole Lombard was on crashed
"I dreamed of spending the quiet years of the rest of my life
here with you,
and now I feel as if we are fighting World War III"
the pattern of relentless life interference
on the deck of the Lexington in the Battle for Leyte Gulf
Audie Murphy -
the most decorated soldier in World War II,
he was killed in a plane crash on Memorial Day Weekend.
the darkly symbolic takeover by industrialists of the Bohemian Club,
the story of men with axes destroying Diego Rivera's mural
and then the dream shifted
When I woke up, the sun was shining.
I went to my studio and began to paint.

the significance of the beginning of each day
the drawing is remarkable for its expression of core human values
a life where his own work
was as equally celebrated
as if our presence is an assumed component
magical paintings in which each image offers an entryway to an extraordinary life.
The lingering questions of what was lost in an artist's struggle against pain.
Remember Ernest Hemingway
the lives and careers of artists
at the intersection of Peachtree and 13th in Atlanta,
Margaret Mitchell was run down
something else I hadn't known
the diverse voices of our culture silenced by their covert attacks
Butterfly McQueen found it difficult to get work as an actress. She died
of burns after a fire at her home
A few year later, Arnie Zane was dead. Lost to AIDS
like many other artists, particularly women,
Alice Austen's work is under house arrest
when they were finally freed,
Allan Houser was the first child born out of captivity
