St. Paul


Artist Statement

Ivre is the name; the etymology came whispered through a lock. There a key came loose, like contraband aboard, before I knew to trace it back to its author’s hand. The hearer of my heart, whose garment is an echo, bouncing across the marble floors down hallways. Mine are full of fire, foundling-empty-headed thoughts, jadis, they fall faster than their weighty counterparts, but this here which I write, is poetry: to be written-off before the dawn, like dew drops off and on, from minds of iron-will, and loyal as the knots in elder boughs of words well wooded. Before the very radiance, I sit to soak up all that’s taught me, learned from the last to the next, and likewise passed all the way on down, til men might find the maker’s seal, and thus distinguish right from wrong.
