On The Way To Canterbury - For Agnes Martin

Autoplay

On the way to Canterbury.

Fields. Dairy.

What is late August doing with the light

from Agnes Martin to this Cathedral bound

walled city?

Who let the dogs in?

Bad theology.

Still, many questions

medieval and otherwise.

Agnes thinks in squares. Or not.

Layered resolutions vague the plot.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Joan Woodbridge 06 May 2020

Two favorite subjects in one poem! But does Agnes think in squsres? or in Lines? And speaking of lines, these ekphrastic lines, o my thank you! Joan
