Oil on Canvas
A gnome-like Atlas figure brashly
holds, on his fingertip, a fiery-red
globe more like the sun than the
earth.  Only the golden star he stands
on is as brilliant in color.
In a pretentious and precarious
posture, with eyes only for the star, he
points himself.  The body’s strength
seems close to weakening.
The checker-board frame contains that
moment only, like a preserved
snapshot of time before.
