Glimmering Carnival Poem by Denis Mair

(for a painting in Chaled Res' 'Night' Series, dated July 4th,2024)
... ... ... ... ...
Silver inscriptions of intrinsic value

on the exploratory arbors of night

articulate their vines of private confession

interlacing to fill our habitation...

Inklings are invited to flare;

caprices of phosphors are encouraged

in a display hospitable to glimmers,

by amplification of receptive darkness...

The eventfulness of a late-hour session

highlighted by talent for marking thoughts,

renders progressions in simultaneity...

The familiar dark companion is present

as focus to set the tone of patience

so the wreathing of blue mist

the coming and going of pastels

are sparked into a nocturnal carnival---

circulation of flickers in love's realm.
