Two Women In Red

Two Women In Red 6 1/2 x 7 1/2

Illustration Friday, May 1, 2009.  The challenge is the word “hierarchy.”  Humans think they are in charge of everything, the wind , the sky, and even the creatures that slither in the grass, but this is far from the reality.  We seem to be the low end of the pecking order.

Two women in red

waiting under a violet sky.

  The moon in anticipation opens

dropping its light on a watery bed

below and at their ankles gathers.

All thoughts of fear recede in time

 what hides in the grass is out of mind.
