A detail from the Shreiner Mansion/Museum, the building next door to the Kerrville Arts Foundation where the above pieces were displayed:




the traveller
makes progress every day
a few feet here
a thousand miles there

there are bad meals
and sacred meals
thin coffee, bitter coffee, blessed coffee
hot ruby tea that heals

there are people with sheafs of flowers
people who piss and spit
people on skate boards
people racing in wheelchairs

birds coast overhead
and car horns beep
in syncopated synchrony
while dry leaves rattle on the trees

the traveller
forgets about travelling
and says oh what is this
hands to head in awe

whispers from childhood
now sound like thunder
the traveller was in motion
long before the trip begun
