To Kill A Mockingbird

A group of mockingbirds screeched with ugly voices. They created an uneasy feeling on the otherwise quiet residence. She stopped on the sidewalk under the overcast gloom looking into the tree. Its yellow-olive leaves swayed in the breeze, but it felt like the branches were shaking from the breath of the birds. Their little black bodies hopped across the jagged negative space, their voices in continuous chatter, but for what purpose she could not tell, until, before dismissing it as a regular annoyance exemplifying the mockingbird's reputation, a hawk darted from the darkness of the tree with a small bird in its talons. 

A sharp-shinned hawk, small and sleek like a falcon, in an instant cut across the street with its prey and disappeared over a roof like a phantom. The mockingbirds continued to chatter, the tree swayed, and she contemplated the ruin of it.

A Sun Of Clairvoyance

This latest piece references the painting The Penitent Saint Jerome by 16th century Spanish artist, Jusepe De Ribera, as well as the book One Hundred Years Of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I discovered De Ribera's painting on a recent trip to Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, drawn to the expression and angle of the subject's face, hence the same is used here. 

A Sun Of Clairvoyance In The Shadows Of The Wandering is about the darkness or the fog or the shadows in which we may find ourselves, where our true surroundings are concealed save only a few features, and, despite the inscrutable nature of our existence and our blindness to the realities of licit and illicit relationships, where we wander among structures solid and tall, decrepit and broken, permitted and forbidden, with cracks and cracks behind the cracks, we see clearly, if only for a moment, beyond what we had thought capable, as if the sun opened up from the heavens to illuminate the path to be followed.
