For today’s prompt, write an ekphrastic poem. An ekphrastic poem is a poem inspired by art. You can pick your own favorite piece of art if you wish. Or you can use one of the examples below:
Detachment
When does it happen
When does it happen
change
opening
release?
I am in this world
with its maybe-horizon
its echoed place
its day or moonlit night
its hold of time
loose place for sense of self
identity
name
story
I'm not looking even to change
and it's not of a sudden
and it's not - or is it -
unavoidable
I am lighter, looser
a space opens up into
what scale
what promise
what un-asked for hope
it is other, elsewhere, fine
and I am going there now
I'm already gone
I'm already gone

I am particularly touched by this:
"I am in this world
with its maybe-horizon
its echoed place"
--and delighted by its phrasing.
And your art piece is beautiful.
how nice.
thank you so much!
Great Last line "I'm already gone."
I agree with previous comment "I am in this world
wits maybe-horizon its echoed places."
"maybe Horizons" gives you a clue to the painting.
The painting seemed fragmented, but not the poem.
Pretty cooo-el
thanks for your thoughts! I really appreciate it!
