Mickey Mouse & Athena

your golden-bordered frame
on the dusk gray body
making the shapes of the surreal
and imagined figures in my mind

changing with each advance
of the clock, as the canvas
wind-driven, reminds me of
of the shadows i've come to know

the stratus and cumulus
structure of your shifting work
reminiscent of the world
i call my own

shifting and ever-changing
i grasp your beauty
as the fleeting statement
which makes me whole again
