Star Quilt

king-size eight-slash-three
star polygon embroidered on
a black canton,

ten rounds of Penrose-like
tiling forming an explosion
or an expansion,

a metaphorical supernova
that isn't a supernova yet
it may as well be an
exercise in comparing
and contrasting
themes and ideas,

the rhombi are black
and white and speckled
with flecks of silver
after all,

and the angles illuminate
semi-multiples of rightness,

half and three-halves across
the way congruent and all them
deriving from a center segmented
like a path through an oriental
religion and going toward
occidental consciousness,

and this gift of symbolism
to an outsider thoroughly
bred into bureaucracy
and naivety is something
rather special because the
giving family respects and
loves what he did for them
and that may explain the
simplicity of the
patchwork coloring,

as simple as black and white
which is best and right,

simplicity breeds complexity
and sometimes something
starry-eyed creates a quilt
of connection that borders
on transcendence,

and that may be the theme
of the star quilt after all

This work of your art speaks much depth found as
you share truth allowing closed eye's to see.
I enjoyed every word, yet these touched me while my "eye's" were closed :-)

" the angles illuminate
