anselm kiefer "remains of the sun"

this wall
is overwhelming
as i sit here
on this white bench,
kids laughter
in the background
makes me happy.

as i look up
again
at this wall,
this giant canvas,
i am enamored
i am obliged.

my eyes can see
such a thing,
a picture
a sight
uncrossed before me.

a brick,
a fuzzy brick form
of a building
it does resemble -
the texture
the subtleties
grab me
keeps me
pulls me.

the layers astound,
thick and thicker,
built up
a few diagonal lines
pierce through
to the middle
and there,
two bones hang.
