dropping by(a fountain of pens

art on every wall-wooden flags-Rupert Bunny greens
antique frames-guitar on stand(classically stringed
air and light and green.Wine and drinks dispensed
Inks on table-art bottled-flavored by hand like nibs
SAILOR to MONT BLANC-a model million dollar diamond
another gold,platinum,titanium-forget function!
Here art is design and ink is blood blue
What copies best is darkness-so he strains the hues
to better crystallize a black with grey,a blue with brown
Soon calligraphy ,Japanese ,copperplate(English)
allured by catalogues,he buys Paradise
one pen @a time.Soon he is inked in,tattooing pages
There will be form,shape and outline
Walls have frames ,as pages white shocked faces
allow his visitations.He holds his nib pen like a lover,
caressing the strokes and curls and waves around
upon each page he finds a mark like stone Ehyptian
He is marking his Bible Sumerian.Soon his pen
will be mightier than his word.Instrument older than owner
Tools survive ages more than fire/civiliaztion of artifacts
Create what ye will as temporary visitor.More will call
and who will answer?All have moved on past copperplate
and cursive,beyond pen and ink and page
Text based emails type finger length contracts
Hand made cultures Museums.We are all in them
WRITE ON!(us)
