Dimensionality Collapse

A Repost

Sunday, August 30, 2009

Each night an innocent moon walks down
to drink from a lake.
Each night it dies, crossing
the whirlpool of its shades.

At dawn, when the lake disappears,
sand and wind meet
to ration Sun’s rage-broken sip.

And then the wind sculpts a mountain
with trees, streams and fountain,
and sand sculpts the wind
as water flows upstream.

The mountain is an Escher
with trees, monkeys and birds.
Wind’s the master of this circus.

your poem captures the quintessence of Escher's surrealism ...

Most interesting, Debs; certainly gives me pause for reflection. Love and peace,

When I view Escher's work, it makes me think of maths and physics, theories and treatises. I love this "collapse" which makes me think pure art and genius, as fickle and yet as consistent as the inspirational winds that drive the cycle round. Could be a parable of Life, The Universe and Everything: Creation, Expansion, Demise and Rebirth. All life is here in singular monochrome and glorious technicolour, caught in perpetuity and yet forever changing and unexpected. As is his work, this is a veritable cornucopia, compact yet bursting to life. A puzzle within a puzzle. Good work, Debs. xx

Enjoyed this the first time when posted, which if I recall correctly was under a Calvin-Hobbish pseudonym, and enjoying it again. This time around I read it as a parable of chaos as an artist of both beauty and destruction. Certainly Escher's work collapses one's "normal" view of the world and then gives us a sculpted perspective at once unsettling and totally enthralling. Thank you for the revisit.
