Poem at the Ekphrastic Review
My poem “(and the devil too)”, a response to a mysterious painting by Omar Odeh, is up at The Ekphrastic Review, along with seven other wonderful illuminations of Odeh’s work. My thanks to editor Lorette C. Luzajic for including my collage poem amongst all the words, and for connecting me to the work of this artist.
filling the margins,
spirits clinging to shadows–
the witching hour
The title is taken from a song by XTC, “Dear God”, a still (sadly) appropriate commentary on the world that we humans have made for themselves.
Congratulations!

Congratulations, Kerfe. I like how you’ve paled to both the light and dark of the painting.
I started a draft as an ekphrastic response, then it totally slipped my mind. I’ll have to take another look at it.

Oops! That should be “I like how you played to…” (big thumbs, small phone keyboard and auto-correct strike again)

Thanks Ken. It’s a fascinating painting and I thought the responses were really good this week.
