The Long Afternoon Yawns

At two in the afternoon the day forgets its urgency and lies down in the heat like a cat.

Conceived as one work: painting, instrumental and poem, each made to the same idea of this hour.

The Long Afternoon Yawns — Colour-field abstraction

The Poem Nothing is due yet. The morning's promises have gone soft at the edges. I think in this hour the way light thinks: slowly, sideways, without arriving. Somewhere a spoon rests in a cooling cup. The world exhales and does not hurry back.
