Sculpture no.10 – finally finished! Many, many pieces to mold when you’re attempting to create a ghost horse dragging a palette of random bones and skulls to the boneyard…
I call this piece – Ghost Guns; Homage to Jacob Marley.
The horse is named Gilpin in tribute to my favorite poetess, Laura Gilpin
This sculpt was created with air dry clay, she weighs in at 20 pounds, 2 ft long, 1 1/2 ft high, 1 1/2 ft across
I hope you’re managing the days…

thank you he whispers
like an amen
the broad smile on his face
I’ve seen somewhere before
his bright marbled eyes map
world destinations traveled decades ago
both light and dark
those hands, trembling and warm
once gripped killing machines
with cool unshakable confidence
back then
they wore their brand of patriotism
like a second skin
back then
there was no doubting
now there is
and today he whispers
thank you and tips his baseball cap
to my young son
who has just held the door
for the elderly gentleman
wearing the navy blue cap with the meticulous insignia
that reads WWII, US P-51 Mustang
